PayMaya powers e-Government digital payments
The country’s digital transformation continues to accelerate, with none less than national government agencies and local government units leading the way in promoting ease of doing business.
SSS members can conveniently pay their contributions and loans online via the PayMaya app and SSS mobile app.
Powering the e-Government with safe, accessible, and convenient payments platforms is PayMaya, the country’s only end-to-end digital financial services ecosystem enabler that serves both consumers and enterprises, whether online or on-ground.
“At PayMaya, we strongly support the government’s thrust to implement ease of doing business through the use of financial technology. Our platforms make e-government services more widely accessible to many Filipinos– whether it is via the PayMaya app, PayMaya-enabled QR PH code, any card and e-wallet through our payment gateway and payment terminals or even through our Smart Padala agents,” said Orlando Vea, PayMaya Founder and CEO.
Easier, more rewarding
PayMaya makes it easier and more rewarding for consumers to pay for government dues and social security contributions. Citizens can avoid the lines in government offices and conduct transactions from the safety of their homes, also reducing the cost of transportation.
Work culture manager Hiedy Enriquez uses PayMaya for her government documentary needs. She recently applied for her marriage certificate online through the Philippine Statistic Authority’s (PSA) online application.
“It’s very user-friendly and convenient for me. What I like most is the immediate acknowledgment through a text message that your transaction is successful,” Enriquez said.
As a young professional trying to improve her finances, media relations specialist Pam Bareo decided to invest her earnings into PAG-IBIG’s Savings Program called MP2 last year.
“Gusto ko kasing makapag-ipon at mai-invest ang pera ko sa magandang programa katulad ng MP2. I used PayMaya for my government transactions kasi mabilis, mas mura ang fees, at kapag sinuwerte, mayroon pang-cashback! Nakakuha ako ng P200 sa una kong hulog using PayMaya sa MP2 savings ko,” Bareo said.
(I want to be able to save and invest my hard-earned money in a program like MP2. I used PayMaya for my government transactions because it is fast and charges minimal fees. On top of that, if you’re lucky, you get a cashback. I got a P200 cashback when I made my first deposit to my MP2 savings account via PayMaya)
