For Johndel F. Olid, a 24-year old employee from Kalibo City, Aklan, going cashless paid off big time when he won the P500,000 grand prize from PayMaya and Smart Padala’s Add Money to Get Lucky Promo. Launched in October 2020, the Add Money to Get Lucky promo gave PayMaya users a chance to win half a million pesos by simply adding money to their accounts via Smart Padala.
Johndel usually visits the trusted Smart Padala agent in his neighborhood to add money to his account. His Add Money transaction is quick—all he has to do is tap “Add Money” on his PayMaya app and click Smart Padala via code. Once this is done, he just has to give the Add Money code to the Smart Padala agent, and hand in the payment along with his valid ID.
“Having a PayMaya account makes completing my daily transactions hassle-free, especially since sari-sari stores are quite far from our home. Since it’s a mobile app, I can quickly buy load, do bank transfers, or even shop online, wherever I am, and whenever I or my family need it,” said Johndel F. Olid, winner of Smart Padala by PayMaya’s Add Money to Get Lucky Promo.
“We launched this promo as a way to make our users’ cashless experience even more convenient and rewarding. With Smart Padala as the preferred Add Money option for many account holders like Johndel, adding money to their account is just as easy as doing a quick visit to their kapitbahay,” said Mark Dee, Head of Growth Marketing and Partnerships for PayMaya Philippines.
For Johndel and for many Filipinos across the country, Smart Padala’s network of 37,000 agents nationwide serve as the most accessible Add Money touchpoints for their PayMaya accounts – allowing them to continue enjoying safe and convenient contactless transactions for their daily essentials amid the current public health situation.
Safe and convenient remittances via Smart Padala
Every Smart Padala transaction also helps the local community as neighborhood branch agents are micro entrepreneurs. Fees are also competitive. For example, every Add Money transaction worth P1,000 and below are charged with a P15 service fee, while an added P7.50 is charged for every additional P500. Compared to taking time to travel and pay for transportation, transacting via the neighborhood Smart Padala agent is more convenient.
Once the funds are received in his PayMaya account, Johndel is able to instantly unlock safe, convenient, and rewarding contactless transactions for his everyday needs.
On top of Johndel’s frequent transactions like buying load, doing bank transfers, and shopping online, PayMaya users can also use their account to settle their government and utility bills, pay contactless at physical stores, buy treats and gaming pins at the in-app shop, and so much more.
Utilizing PayMaya for everyday transactions is not just convenient, it’s also safer as paying contactless, whether online or via QR lessens the risk of virus transmission often associated with cash handling. On top of this, PayMaya users also enjoy exclusive rewards for paying with PayMaya ensuring that they get the best value for their money.
