The hassle of sending money to someone is a thing of the past—thanks to several e-wallets and mobile bank apps. Through these fintech innovations, Filipino can now enjoy a hassle-free service when transferring funds through their smartphones and in the comfort of their homes.

In the Philippines, banks and other fintech firms have seen a spike in online transactions amid the quarantine in Luzon. In fact, in the first month of quarantine in 2020, interbank transactions made through InstaPay increased 50% to 300,000 from pre-quarantine levels according to one of the biggest banks in the country*.

However, some people are yet to embrace digitalization.

While you may now have downloaded multiple apps to conveniently send money or make online transactions through your phone, there could be a time when you need to transfer funds to someone without access to any of these. And if that time occurs, what would you do?

Good thing, PayMaya allows users to transfer funds even to someone without a bank account or e-wallet app.
