PayMaya is an e-wallet app for online and contactless transactions. With PayMaya, you can transfer money, pay bills, and get a virtual re-loadable card that you can use for your online purchases and even booking flights. You can also get a physical card that you can connect to your PayMaya app and use to pay in stores that accept credit and debit cards. You can also use this card to withdraw money from ATMs here and abroad.

Aside from these, PayMaya also offers rewards, discounts, and special perks. It’s perfect for those who like online transactions better but are afraid to use their own debit or credit cards. And just like how convenient it is to use their services, opening a PayMaya account is just as easy.

This is how you register for a PayMaya account and upgrade your account to enjoy more features of the app.
