Now that Metro Manila has eased back to GCQ, commuters can now experience a cashless transportation experience powered by PayMaya! PayMaya is now enabling Philippine mass transport operators with its advanced end-to-end payment platforms for a safer on-the-road experience for Filipinos.
Our New Normal is Digital
At PayMaya’s first virtual presscon, Mar Lazaro, Head of PayMaya Enterprise shares that digital and cashless will be the default moving forward. PayMaya is the only end-to-end digital payments ecosystem enabler in the Philippines with platforms and services for consumers, merchants, and government.
Paymaya-powered services for both commuter and operator/driver include: purchase and top-up of Beep cards, Transportation Service Providers (buses, taxi companies can now make use of QR scan or Payamaya cards), Transportation Hubs (Araneta City Busport), Petroleum Companies (gas), Transportation Service Providers (such as Lalamove), and Government (LTO).
These services support the mandate of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) for transportation service providers to accept contactless payments in public transit to limit the spread of the virus causing the COVID-19 disease.
Contactless Payments as Default
With these cashless services powered by PayMaya, they are empowering the entire transport chain, and not just mass transportation. For instance, PayMaya Negosyo / Digital QR can be the mode of transaction for trikes, jeeps, and taxis; the payment of choice for delivery services through their rider program (Paymaya QR) where riders can avail of cashback, and PayMaya also has a mobile storefront through the PayMaya app where users can purchase Beep credits.
PayMaya’s end-to-end digital financial services and solutions is enabling transportation partners to accept contactless payments through card or e-Wallet payments either inside vehicles, in transportation hubs, or through their various digital and mobile channels.
Here are the ways PayMaya is enabling digital payments solutions for the entire transport chain:
Commuters: top-up Beep cards by purchasing credits through the PayMaya app; scan-to-pay in PayMaya QR-enabled vehicles or pay using their credit, debit, or prepaid card in transport service providers that have PayMaya terminals.
Transportation service providers: UBE Express (P2P and Airport shuttle services), hirna and EKR Taxi (taxi services), and Hype (TNVS) are now able to accept card and QR payments in vehicles or when commuters book through their apps or websites.
Transit hubs: Araneta City Bus Port has been offering QR and card payments in its hub and through its website years ago, pre-COVID.
Petrol providers: Petron, Shell, SEAOIL, Unioil, Cleanfuel, RePhil, and other major fuel retailers have adopted the PayMaya One all-in-one Point-of-Sale device to offer contactless payments in gas stations using card or e-Wallet apps.
Delivery services: PayMaya aids in processing card transactions for Lalamove and other delivery providers for cashless payments when booking a delivery.
Government agencies: The Land Transportation Office, the Bureau of the Treasury and PayMaya have formally signed an agreement that will soon allow cashless payments powered by PayMaya for motor vehicle registrations and renewals through the LTO website.
