PayMaya has just launched its cryptocurrency (crypto) feature through its all-in-one finance app experience, enabling Filipinos to easily buy and earn digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum for as low as P1.
The new offering is part of the company’s overall thrust to go beyond payments by making financial services like crypto more accessible to the general public. PayMaya is both an Electronic Money Issuer (EMI) and a Virtual Asset Services Provider (VASP), licensed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
For consumers, buying and earning crypto can be challenging because of the need to use multiple apps with separate registration processes and experiences. With this development, PayMaya makes it easier than ever to get into crypto by providing an all-in-one experience.
There is no need to register for another account, apply for an upgrade, or use another app. Customers, unlike other e-wallets and apps, can learn to use cryptocurrency, deposit funds into wallets, buy and sell coins, and spend their crypto earnings all through their PayMaya account.
Upgraded PayMaya users can trade in a variety of the most popular coins directly from their PayMaya wallet in Philippine Pesos. They can also seamlessly buy and sell crypto anytime with no extra cash in and cash out fees. The feature is fully integrated into the app experience, providing convenience at the back of its secure platform and 99.9% app uptime rate.
Here are 5 easy steps to help you get started with your crypto journey and buy your favorite coins via PayMaya:
