Whether you’re hunting for your first job or already in the workforce, one of your biggest responsibilities is paying bills. Not just your regular utility bills but government, like SSS, BIR, PAG-IBIG, and PRC. The thought of doing those already sounds like a chore, but not if you can conveniently do it anywhere with your phone or computer. How? Well, that’s where PayMaya comes in.
If you’ve been using PayMaya for a while now, then you know that you can use this e-wallet to send money between PayMaya accounts, send money to banks, buy load, and pay bills. But you can also use it to pay for government fees and dues. And the cherry on top is that you can earn cashback that is directly credited to your PayMaya account every time you pay. So that’s added savings for you!
PayMaya features SSS, BIR, PAG-IBIG, PRC, DTI, DFA, MMDA, NBI, NHMFC, and NSO. But for this, we’re going to focus on the first four and how you can conveniently pay and at the same time enjoy a cashback.
