DIGITAL FINANCE FOR GLOBAL FILIPINOS
D
igital financial services leader PayMaya is making it even easier for overseas Filipinos to pay for government fees and their family’s utility bills through the PayMaya e-wallet app.
In time for Labor Day on May 1, PayMaya opened this service for Filipinos overseas so they can now use their Philippine mobile SIM on roaming to register for a PayMaya account, allowing them to perform transactions such as paying government dues or utility bills, as well as sending money to other PayMaya users, even while abroad. “Our vision of Digital Finance for All Filipinos includes our hardworking countrymen abroad, our modern-day heroes,” said Orlando Vea, founder and CEO of PayMaya. “Having a PayMaya account wherever you are in the world can empower Filipinos overseas and help them stay connected with their loved ones in the Philippines.” According to 2020 data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority, there are an estimated 2.2 million Filipinos currently working abroad, with millions more who have already migrated and can still benefit from a strong fintech platform that can help them and their families who are still in the Philippines.
