PayMaya Review and Comparison
Shop and Beep with your PayMaya
PayMaya was the craze of the town a few months ago. I am not an early adopter of any new technology due to bugs and issues that pop up as a side effect of rushed deployment (mostly the case) or hardware to software integration issue. If I am not mistaken, it is already 2 months since it was first released and I already have my pie share on what it is and how it works.
What is PayMaya
PayMaya is the new version of SmartMoney under the new Umbrella of Smart with a new brand name of Smart eMoney. This branch handles all virtual prepaid credit cards offered by Smart. PayMaya is a virtual prepaid debit card with an option of a physical prepaid debit card.
PayMaya Versus SmartMoney
Physical Card Payment
SmartMoney Charges P100 for the first time request of SmartMoney physical card and can go up to P150 for card replacement. PayMaya cost P100 to get your first card.. In reality, the card is free since you are paying the initial deposit of P100 for the card and it comes with free P30 of Beep wallet credit.
Limits
PayMaya unlike SmartMoney have no usage limit if you don’t opt to get the physical card. You can create your own card on the fly by downloading the application from Google Play and signing up for free. PayMaya is also available via Apple App Store by changing the country to PH from US. This is a Visa regional restriction for prepaid cards.
Telco Lock
PayMaya is not telco dependent in contrast to SmartMoney which is locked to a Smart sim card. You can sign up using your Globe/TM sim cards. This upgrade was first tested with SmartMoney users for almost 6 months resulting to a disliked new feature of SmartMoney which deduct P5 for every P1000 worth of money sent to the receiver. It is basically double charging since the sender was charged and the receiver was also charged. PayMaya charges the sender and the receiver for every money transactions.
Backend
PayMaya is powered by Rocket Internet as the major backend for the system side and was linked to Bancnet/Plus Interbank network. SmartMoney is backed by BDO from Megalink network
Terminal
SmartMoney needs a physical terminal to pay your purchases while PayMaya only needs the partners account in order to pay over the air. The only catch is that you need a working internet connection to complete the transaction.
Physical Card Activation
You can get your generic PayMaya from Jump Stores (Got mine from SM Megamall Jump Store) and selected activation booths. The only group who got a personalized card are the early reviewers (bloggers and media). There was no news on when you can get your name printed on the card since personalized (named) cards are no longer available. You only need to wait 5 mins for the card.
You can get your SmartMoney card from any Smart Store but the physical card will be mailed with an average time of 7 days to 2 months. Yes, they take a very long time before they got delivered which gives a better edge for Paymaya.
Features
Contact Less Payment (Beep)
PayMaya have a Beep chip embedded inside the card for those who opt for the physical card version. The primary use of the physical card is for card swiping and as contact-less payment for MRT/LRT.
A prepaid physical card for swiping and with contact less payment chip was first introduced by BDO. I had the theory that BDO was the first company that Smart approach for this new product however, things got sour before the deployment date. BDO cash card with contact less chip is expensive to have due to the fees and there is a load limit per month. You will loose your contact less wallet balance if you lost the card and you can only use it as payment for physical swiping.
Terminal Less Payment
One of the strong points for PayMaya is the terminal less mode of payment. As long as you can go online and connect your PayMaya account, you can readily pay your bill using the app menu which is a nice feature.
Loading Methods
You can load up at any 7-Eleven at the Cliqq kiosks, and at Robinson’s & SM Business Centers. You can also load up from Selected Smart Padala outlets but technically, all Smart Padala users and SmartMoney users can load you up.
If you have a Smart Money account, you can go to the Smart Money SIM Menu, select Transfers and then click on Others. Enter 8877+Mobile Number of the PayMaya load-up recipient. (ex. 88779181234567). Enter an Amount, your WPIN, and Send. 8877 is a requirement to be added at the start of your phone number to tell the server that you are intending to pass credits to a PayMaya card. Forgetting the 8877 required number will trigger a SmartMoney to SmartMoney transfer.
Beep Chip
There is no direct way as of the moment to reload your Beep chip other than reloading the chip on Beep reloading terminals. I hope this feature can be automated in the coming year 2016.
PayMaya is your SmartMoney and Beep card
Can i use paymaya po as savings account?
Savings account should be in the bank not PayMaya. PayMaya is an E-Wallet not a savings account
Hi sir @coderinthebox.. ask ko lang po kung pede ako magbayad sa online booking ng airline ticket ko worth 60k (if converted from US dollars)? upgraded na po ako. wla po bang amount limit per transaction per day? TIA!
I am not sure if allowed kang mag purchase ng P60,000 worth of item/ticket online. I recommend asking support@paymaya.com or calling *788 using smart, tnt or sun sim.
Hello good day, where I can avail the physical card ? Sa sm fairview Po ba Meron?
Card is available on all SM information or Business booth. It is also available in Smart Wireless Storess
Hi! I ordered something in instagram and the seller asked me to pay thru her PAYMAYA account. I transferred the money thru BDO Online banking to her Paymaya account. Unfortunately, I got scammed. The online seller either blocked me or deactivated her account.
Is there any way/options where I can request Paymaya to debit her paymaya account and return the money to me? Looking forward for your reply. Best Regards
Contact support@paymaya.com and contact BDO. In cases like this, they will mostly ignore the complaint but there is a slight chance that they will deactivate the offending person’s account or reverse the charge. You can try it as a dispute complaint.
To be honest, this blog has better customer service response compared to Paymaya themselves.
Hi, nag post na din ako ng comment dito last May 30, 2017, same issue pa din.
Paano po mag withdraw sa BDO using Paymaya Smart Mastercard? Sa withdraw lang nag-e-error pero kapag gagamitin kong payment sa mercury, hypermarket, savemore, etc. okay naman. Upgraded naman, pero `di maka-withdraw.
Paano po if defective yung EMV chip, anong pwedeng gawin?
Need help… Thanks.
May 22, 2017 pala haha sorry po mali.
Pwede na din po ba mag deposit sa BDO ang Paymaya Smart Mastercard gaya ng sa Smart Money dati? Yung hindi po online-banking.
Thanks
Yes, use payment form and indicate that it is a PayMaya account. Use your activated number and not the card number.
pwede mag widraw. kggaling ko lng kanina sa PNB, since un malapit sakin. Bancnet ung sakin (greencard). takenote, di pa upgraded account ko.
gumana sakin.
sa PNB ko ginamit, since un malapit, btw bancnet ung sakij at greencard na.
fees when loading up paymaya – how much sa 7-eleven, sm, bdo etc. or which is cheaper to load? anybody?
Did anyone used the paymaya card for withdrawal transactions? Need some update before loading up
Card won’t be sold if you CAN’T use it to withdraw. Make sure you get your account upgraded first and have a physical card linked to your UPGRADED account before planning to withdraw
how long it takes in credit reversal?
7-21 days, if the seller did not issue a refund request. 1 day if the seller issue a refund request.
Hi my gusto lng ako iclarify…upgraded na paymaya ko, automatic nba pag nagpalit ang buwan (month) un monthly 100k limit eh available na agad? Gamit ko sya sa paypal.
It is automatic, make sure before the end of the month, you will take out all cash from your account.
but why?
It will count with your total Cash-in for the next month. For people using it for personal use, you don’t need to take them out.
The max limit of 100k a month and the previous months balance only affects people accepting money coming from other people. This will be fixed in the future though as promised by PayMaya.
Example:
On September 29, you have 11k on your PayMaya account. If this money remained on your account on October 1, your usage for the month of October will be padded up for 11k (same amount that was present on your PayMaya). This is a logic error with the system that they are addressing. PayMaya is in constant update/upgrade and they are adjusting things a lot to make it work better.
The correct action should be, you can put another 89k on your card for October and when you withdraw at least 11k, you will gain another 11k Cash-in allowance.
The thing that drags PayMaya development is the problematic support with SmartMoney system that crashes alot. Smart Mastercard (PayMaya) is the old Smartmoney and it is piggy backed on top of PayMaya system.
Hi I ordered a physical card (Already upgraded my account thru fb video call). Just curious, does it really come with out the account name (my name) printed on it?
Card is not personalized
hi san po pwede ipaupgrade yung paymaya acc, near sm north lang po.
Pag reversal ng transaction sa Paymaya, promise uugatin ka sa kakahintay! Bulok ang support nila.
hi, i was not able to transfer from smart money sim to paymaya sim. is network preference has something to do with this? like i linked my paymaya to my globe number. need advise. thanks.
Network preference have is not an issue. If you want to transfer money from Smartmoney to PayMaya…
If you have a Smart Money account, you can go to the Smart Money SIM Menu, select Transfers and then click on Others. Enter 8877+Mobile Number of the PayMaya load-up recipient. (ex. 88779181234567).
Nag try ako mag withdraw from paypal to paymaya kaso lang me lumalabas na internal error, pero okay nman pag nag widthraw ako sa bank account ko. Me issue ba kayong ganito? Thank you.
Kung hindi upgraded ang account mo, mag internal error ang card na nakalink.
Hi, bumili po ako ng Paymaya Smart Mastercard sa Smart SM North-EDSA. Activated na po thru text then nag register po ako sa Paymaya App at successfully upgraded na din po thru Bayad Center. Bale meron na po akong Virtual Card at Physical Card.
Nag send po ako ng 500 from my SmartMoney to my Paymaya Smart Mastercard. May text sa akin yung Paymaya na pumasok na yung 500 at nag pop-up naman sa Paymaya App yung balance. Nag try po ako na i-withdraw sa BDO ATM Machine ang 300 kaso nag e-error po. Bakit po kaya? Ano po ba pipiliin, Savings / Cards / Credit Card? Ang pinipili ko po kasi “Savings”.
May text yung Paymaya na nag withdraw daw ako ng 300 tapos ilang seconds lang may text din yung Paymaya na balance na hindi nabawasan yung sa account ko. Bale nag double check ako ng balance ko thru text since wala akong na-withdraw na 300 at tama naman hindi nga nabawasan. Bale bumili nalang ako ng ice cream sa Mercury ginamit ko yung Paymaya Smart Mastercard at pumwede naman at dun na talaga ako nabawasan haha. Nung nag-check din ako ng Paymaya App lumabas dun yung sa pag-withdraw ko sa BDO ATM Machine tapos meron nakalagay na naka-refund andun din yung binili ko sa mercury.
Tanong lang ano po ba yung ili-link na Paymaya Card sa Paymaya App? Yung mismong Paymaya Card po ba na kulay blue/violet o yung Paymaya Smart Mastercard na kulay green? Kasi yung nili-link ko yung Paymaya Smart Mastercard ko na green nag e-error po eh.
Tumawag na din ako sa *788 ang sabi po activated, naka-link, upgraded at ready for withdrawal na. Pero hindi po ako maka-withdraw.
Need help 🙂
Check if nasa “My Cards” na ang physical card mo.
Yes po nasa “My Cards” naman na po yung Physical Card ko at Virtual Card ko.
Opo andun Physical Card at Virtual Card
Your PayMaya card have an EMV chip, the issue can be one of the following
1. The ATM machine was not accepting EMV chip enabled cards, notable Security bank rejects ATM/credit cards with EMV chip.
2. The EMV chip was loose or defective.
Known banks so far that I used that supports EMV chips are BDO and RCBC.Some BPI ATM accepts EMV enabled cards and some won’t.
Those EMV microchips on your card contains your personal data.
Hi nag hulog na po ako sa smart padala gamit ang number na nakaregister sa paymaya ko pero yung balance po ng paymaya ko is only 0 parin pero my confimation na po ako na na recieve! panu po iyun?
I am betting that you did not transact to a REAL SmartPadala center. You only transact to a person who have a personal SmartMoney account. That person have done a regular SmartMoney to CP# transfer and you should get a confirmation on how to claim the transferred money or worst, it was credited to your temporary SmartMoney account (if you are using a Smart sim).
Ganito din po ba sa cebuana?? Use 8877 as starting sa paymaya number??
Ang 8877 or 7788 sa start ng number ay para lang sa SmartMoney to PayMaya. Ginagawa ito para maiwasan ang problema sa SmartMoney System sa kanilang “Send to Anyone” feature.
hello sir, my friends send money to paymaya using smartpadala. from (smartpadala to paymaya) but the owner of paymaya said that he did not recieved the money to his paymaya number. he recieved only a notification that he can get the money thru smartpadala branch. but the problem is when he go there in smartpadala branch they said that he cant get the money because the beneficiary is not their smartpadala branch. how we can refund the money? thanks sir
How did your friend sent the money, please list the steps done. It is possible that your friend sent the money as a SmartMoney transfer and not a SmartMoney to PayMaya transfer. If the receiver is using a non-smart sim, the text is an instruction on how to claim the money on REAL SMART PADALA centers. A SmartPadala agent will have an extra menu on their Sim Menu that ask for a transfer confirmation code. The transfer confirmation code is what a non SmartMoney user gets. The money will be credited to any REAL Smart Padala centers who “cashed in” the transfer code.
Good day! I just ordered my physical card this day. Can I still be able to withdraw even if I won’t upgrade my account? Thanks in advance
Your physical card is useless if your account is not upgraded.
is it completely useless even if you just use the physical card for in-store purchases?
You can swipe the card in POS terminals.
Hi bro! I just wanna ask If I can use my paymaya card in abroad? Thanks.
Example nag load ako dito sa pinas ng 2k balance can I use it in south korea?
Yes, but you can’t load it up in South Korea. As long as the establishment accepts VISA/Mastercard electronic
hello po lahat po ba ng smart padala outlet pweding magsend ng pera sa paymaya account ko? last time kc my client use smart padala to pay sa paymaya ko, sabi dw ng store hindi dw pwede kulang dw ung account number.. pwd ko bamg gamitin ung virtual card number ko to receive money? thank you
All SmartPadala outlets and even personal SmartPadala accounts can send to PayMaya. SmartMoney already migrated to PayMaya. Ung store na yan ay holder lang ng personal SmartMoney at yang mga store na yan na nagpapaggap na SmartPadala center ay gumagawa ng sariling rules nila. Yan ang rason kung bakit iphaseout na ang SmartMoney para mawala sila na cause ng napakaraming issues. VIP account holders na lang at corporate SmartMoney owners (Tunay na SmartPadala centers) ang me working SmartMoney after June, 2017.
can my friend and my family load my paymaya account from abroad?
PayMaya is only available within the islands of Philippines.
magkano po charge from Paymaya to Smartpadala transaction? thanks in advance
Regular SmartPdala charge of P5 per 1,000
Smart Money to PayMaya. I Send using my Smart Money. Pero yan po lumabas.
Transaction was rejected. The Payment terminal may not be able to accept your transaction at this time.PLEASE HELP ?
Hi, Good Morning. pano po yung upgrade ng paymaya through video call?
Contac https://www.facebook.com/PayMayaOfficial/ and ask for a schedule.
Hi. Na-Disable ang account ko. Paano iActivate ulit? Thankyou
Nadidisable lang ang account due to Fraud or repeated wrong password/pin errors. Email support@paymaya.com
I lost my paymaya card and i bought a new one, inaadd ko yung new card ko sa app pero yung naka lagay na virtual card ko yung old pa din? Gusto ko sana yung bago na lang. Is it possible?
no, your virtual card will only get replaced kung mag expire na ito.
I am trying to load up my acct but it says “transaction was rejected, the payment terminal may not be able to accept your transaction at this time” need help..
You already got the answer, the method you are trying to use to send money to load up PayMaya is offline or disconnect to PayMaya at that time.
Hi, what if I used a postpaid mobile number and the contract was ended? Could I still use my PayMaya both virtual at physical?
Yes you can but you need to contact support@paymaya.com to change the linked sim card
Noted.. Thanks!!!
Hi 🙂 na upgrade ko na po yung paymaya ko. Nag try po ako mag withdraw thru bdo atm pero ayaw po e read yung card ko. Ask ko lang din po pwede ba ako mag withdraw sa kahit anung atm machine? Thanks po!
You need to link your PayMaya card to your PayMaya account. You can withdraw using any ATM for a flat fee of P15.
hi how many days para makareceive ng confirmation text na naupgrade na? Wala pa rin kasi nag tetext sakin..
Nag paupgrade ka na? Upgrading is free. You need to have a video call with PayMaya, visit to selected Bayad Center, visit to any Jumpin stores or with their Caravans. Upgrade is 24 hours process after approval
Hi! pwede ko bang gamitin tong paymaya sa pagbili ng items abroad? like in dubai, plan to purchase an item there as a surprise gift. Kahit iba currency dun.
Yes you can as long as the store accepts VISA
Sir, nag load ako sa 7-11 today pero wala ako nareceive na sms confirmation at until now wala pa din ung load para sa paymaya acct ko. active ba transactions kahit holiday ngaun? 1st time ko maranasan ganito ka delay.
Active, I used PayMaya daily including today. Ask the clerk.
Hello can i ask what shoudl i do after linking my paymaya with steam?and then there is a message saying The transaction is some what like still in the process.will it be successfull?or how would my action be successfull in order to use paymaya as an instrument in adding funds to my steam wallet.what is my next step?
It only means that the transaction is pending. Make sure you have upgraded your PayMaya and it have some money on it.
I’ve encountered a problem with my PayMaya Visa Card the two different malls earlier, Gaisano Mall and Gaisano South were not able to accept my paymaya visa card. THEY TRY TO SWIPE IT A LOT OF TIMES, BUT IT SAYS ERROR! EVEN AT DIFFERENT COUNTERSS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BALANCE AND IT IS ENOUGH TO WHAT I BOUGHT.
Sometimes the terminals are offline or they are trying to swipe it the wrong way. Some cashiers will try to process it as a BDO or BPI cash card. It should be processed as a credit card. Hay you used your card before? Sometimes the payment processors of Malls are just offline.
Hi,
I just want know if someone from US(New York) can reload my PayMaya thru 7/11?
If they have access to PayMaya loading system, they can.
question sir,
hindi ko pa po na aactivate ang paymaya ko, in fear na baka may hidden fee na kailangan kong i-pay sa paymaya. so my question is. is there any payment for paymaya’s service? like a monthly pay for it or anything? I’m still new to this whole thing.
Fees are the regular P15 per withdraw from your card (standard ATM fee) and the P100 (P150 if bought online) for the card. There are no other fees that will be charged
Ngpaload po ako s smart Padala using my globe sim .. Paano k po ma itatransfer ung niload ko sa paymaya card ko ..
You have a PayMaya account linked to a globe sim at niloadan mo using SmartPadala? Or nagpadala ka to your globe sim ng SmartPadala Money? Magkaiba ung dalawang un.
Hi po. Hindi ba makaka widthraw pag hindi pa upgraded ang paymaya? Naka link na ung card sa account ko. Ask ko din magkano minimum para mka widthraw.
Kelangan mong magpaupgrade for free para maka widthraw
Magkano po monthly maintaining balance ng paymaya
No maintaining balance
Sir pag smart mastercard ba ang virtual account mu ay mastercard dn ang physical card mo? Or visa po
“SmartMoney Mastercard Powered by PayMaya”
hello po sir. Pag ba ang virtual card mo ay mastercard. Ganun din ba ang physical ccard? Or visa yung physical card. Hndi kasi mawithdraw funds ko sa paypal dahil mastercard ung virtual card ko. phelp po
Only Visa can receive money from PayPal. New PayMaya accounts using Smart sims are automatically registered as SmartMoney Mastercard. There is no Physical card for Smart Mastercard.
i tried to use PayMaya for Steam wallet funds. After I linked PayMaya to Steam, a text message came in saying approval of PHP 40.00 purchase at STEAMGAMES.COM and a liitle while another message saying approval of PHP 40.00 purchase at VALVE S.A.R.L. I didnt personally made any purchases in steam that time. I dont undestand how and why i got charged by that.
Steam and Valve are one.
Hello, my purchases got rejected but paymaya charged my account and hindi pa din ako narerefund. What should I do? Can anyone help me?
It will refund back. Unless Your PayMaya was a Smart Emoney Mastercard (new accounts from Smart). You need to contact PayMaya for that.
Good day sir, possible po ba na gamitin ang paymaya for facebook ads? If yes pwede po magpaturo kung paano? Salamat!
Yes, as long as FB accepts VISA card, make sure you have at least $1 more than the price you want to pay in your PayMaya card
From SmartMOney:
Transaction war rejected. the payment terminal may not be able to accept your transactions at this time.
hindi ako maka load sa paymaya. :3
What terminal did you use?
8877 sir
Smartmoney transfer? Sariling Smartmoney?
Hello coderinthebox same with me. I cant transfer money to pay maya from my own smart money
Your Smartmoney and PayMaya, are they registered on the same SIM card? If yes, Smart is trying to integrate their Smartmoney in PayMaya system and that will cause failures of transfer
own smartmoney sir. di ba pede yun?
You can use your own SmartMoney to load up your PayMaya account. Add 8877 infront of your PayMaya cellphone number.
Loading your PayMaya account of 09192619022 using SmartMoney, you need to enter 88779192619022 on the recipient
nagagamit ba to sa mga payments na may 0% interest for installment?
No, you need a credit card link to a bank account for that one
anybody here have refund experience thru paymaya? bec. I purchase in the internet and I request for refund from the merchant and they said its already refunded but it does not reflect into my paymaya account.
The merchant should initiate a refund transfer in order to get the money back. VISA can accept any money being sent to the card, a refund is not possible on completed transactions since VISA’s record is already closed.
Please help..someone used my card and inubus pa 16 k.. I called paymaya wala sumasagot
Account security of you card is your obligation. No once can use your card without you voluntarily giving them your CCV2 number
I just made my paymaya account yesterday. And i tried loading it up late this evening, around 5pm. It’s been four hours since, is it normally long before the money goes in? I really need to use it already. And i don’t know what to do anymore.
What method did you use? Did you follow the guide on how to load up your PayMaya? It should load in less than 2 mins except if you use BDO which takes 2-4 hours.
Hi there, can i register on PayMaya using a globe simcard? Is it also possible that the Globe simcard that i register in PayMaya is linked to GCash? Thank you.
Yes, you can register using any Sim card and both PayMaya and Gcash can exist on the same Sim card.
My 400 load in paymaya is gone . I’m trying to buy steam wallet using paymaya after my transaction it says there that the transaction failed but my balance is gone. what should I do ?
It will be refunded within the day. If not, write an email to support@paymaya.com after 24 hours plus screenshot of the failed purchase. Steam will deduct P48 – P70 on first purchase so be sure you have extra when buying from Steam.
its already 3 days since i load. but still my balance is not yet returned. help please I already sent an email to pay maya yesterday.
Contact Steam about the failure and send proof to PayMaya that the transaction failed. It usually take a few days to check.
Hi. Ask ko lang what if I purchase something online then the seller refunded me for my purchase, will it be auto-credited to my account? Or ihohold pa ng PayMaya yung money then ask for documents or something like that? Sorry but my knowledge is very limited about this. Can’t see much about refunds sa mga posts and replies. Tia 🙂
Depends on how the refund was done, if the refund was sent via cancellation of purchase (Visa side) it will credit back. If the seller sent the refund via VISA method, you will get it asap. If the seller uses other method, you need proofs so PayMaya can credit the refund.
Hi, I wanted to ask.. how long does it take for the money to be posted on my PayMaya virtual card if I do it via Robinson’s Department Store or 7/11? Is that real time?
Real time.
Can i rant here?. I decided to load up my Paymaya via BDO bills payment last sunday. I am aware that the transaction will be processed the next day. It’s tuesday now and i still did not receive my money. BDO sent me a transaction reference number. Sent it to support@paymaya.com, i also sent it to their facebook account plus my complaint. Right now, they are ignoring(SEEN) my messages.The last message i received from them was that i’ll be receiving the money within today(which was yesterday)
I double checked the details of the transaction and I’m pretty sure I did everything correctly, the use of country code, number registered in my paymaya account, and pay the bills to Paymaya company. I am quite pissed actually since i have an ongoing case with BDO about my money not refunded to my account and this adds up. Tsk. Do you think i can report this to BSP while i still have my other ongoing BDO issue being investigated by them?
If they can’t return the money within 7 days, you can report it to BDO. PayMaya accounting department is slow with this kind of cases. I only have one issue with them in the past and it was my P5000 deposit was not credited, they got an error on their system but the accounting department refuses to refund or credit it back for 5 days. The support guys keeps on following the accounting department since the only thing accounting asked me was the BDO proof of deposit which I successfully given them on the same day (6 hours after I transferred online)
I am also experiencing the same. It’s been 5 days already. Were they able to refund back your P5000? This is already becoming a horror story for me.
It was refunded by BDO after 7 days. The money was with PayMaya but their system is rejecting to credit the money due to internal error.
If you used 711, the money usually is with the EZPay system.
How did you try to resolve problem so that they will refund? Did you keep on contacting them?
Thank you.
I followed up daily since the one at fault was PayMaya’s system
You can also report this to BSP as an alternative since PayMaya is under Bangko Sentral ng Pilipanas as a money transfer company under Smart/PLDT’s eMoney department.
Hello! Good day! I’ve been using Paymaya to buy songs from ITunes, then one time, I didn’t noticed na ang amount ng mga songs na na download ko had exceeded the existing balance on my Paymaya account.. ngayon po ay the result wala pong nangyaring deduction sa account ko, pero na download na po yung mga songs, nasa phone ka no po and I’m able to play them… ang kaso na deny naman yung paymaya account ko… now I can’t update my other applications like FB, Snapchat… I’m planning to load a certain amount to my Paymaya account.. Will it solve the problem? Hoping to get an answer from you. Thanks and more power!
You got denied because you owe iTunes some money, load up and pay what you owe them.
Is it Ok for me to still use the same Paymaya account? Baka po kase pag nag-load ako to pay my excess sa ITunes eh di tanggapin yung virtual card.. Baka masayang lang yung amount sa virtual card.. what I’m planning to do is create another Paymaya account, load it up and then pay my transaction in ITunes.. will it work? Thanks!
I don’t know how iTunes work so I can’t give a final answer. All I know is how Google Play and Steam works in cases of pending charges. If you by chance you owe them money for late charging, the service will deactivate and will resume when you settle the balance.
if a seller scam me and i pay using paymaya is there a way you can give the details of the person using that account?
No but you can ask PayMaya via support@paymaya.com if you have a police blotter naming the seller and the account used. For international purchases, there is no way to get the info.
How can I know the allowable amount in my card??
P50,000 total transaction and max card load for non upgraded accounts and P100,000 for upgraded accounts
Hi, I tried to load my newly upgraded PayMaya account via 7/11 kiosk last night and the machine always says “Merchant denied”. What does it mean?
No idea, you should have asked the guys at 711
I’ve been using paymaya for months now. I always use bdo online bills payment to load my account. This was a good service but, now it is becoming a horror. Yesterday, 10/10/2016 I loaded php 500 to my account but, it is still not showing or it has not been posted. (Usually it takes 45 minutes for posting) I’ve been trying to call their customer service several times, waited more than an hour on their queue but, I did not get the chance to talk to anyone from paymaya.
I feel like I have been robbed. Please beware of using this service.
Service is working fine and they only got a glitched a few days ago (711 kiosk). You can send an email to support@gmail.com
I was using PayMaya almost daily and I loaded it up via 711 and BDO on exception to those sent to my account as payments from third party people. Did you inserted your mobile number with a country code and made sure that you typed the correct mobile number?
I got that problem in my first try. Now, they are ignoring my messages on facebook and in email. Also tried calling them butbita no use.
How do you deny an approval of purchase, or a refund.
There was a random purchase that I didn’t authorize.
Send an email to support@paymaya.com
Can you please give me a step by step process
Why does my Paymaya Account approved a purchase from steam but i never get any steam wallet? Please reply ASAP
Contact steam, your issue is with Steam and not with PayMaya. Steam wallet can be gifted so better check you did not select “gift”.
sir how will i suppose to load up my paymaya card via smart padala? I’ve tried it before but they insist because my phone card is globe. Then they asked me to enter my paymaya virtual card # and that will be the one that they’ll use. I’m not sure if they know what theyre doing so I just left the shop. Can you share what is the whole process if im going to load up via smart padala? Thanks, much appreciated.
8877 + cellphone number without the leading zero. Sample your number is 09161234567 as globe/smart, to load up via Smart Padala, they need to send the money to 88779161234567. You can get more info here https://coderinthebox.com/virtual-cards/paymaya-review-and-comparison/
Most SmartPadala shop using a personal SmartMoney number have no clue that PayMaya can be loaded by SmartPadala. They even have no clue that you can send money from SmartMoney to any cellphone numbers.

Hi! I added my PayMaya card to Steam and I was charged P40.00 the other day. I removed the card from Steam due to wrong billing address and added it again. I was charged again for it. However, both charges are still not being refunded as the authorizations has a red flag. There is a message on the charges saying that the transactions are still being processed. How long would it take for the authorization to be processed? Thank you!
It takes 5 minute to be processed, your card was put on Steams dispute center since you supplied a wrong address and you linked it again.
its been more than 5 minutes and still no refund. how can i get it refunded?
If you tried to activated your PayPal using PayMaya, the deduction will be automatically refunded.

So Im trying to withdraw Paypal to my Paymaya card today but I keep getting this Internal Server Error. Do you have any idea why and what to do? TIA!
The error is on PayPal, only PayPal can check what the error was. Double check the website where you are loggin in http://www.paypal.com/, scammers built fake PayPal websites.

Hi, I use my PayMaya regularly for UBER and never experienced any problems. Until last Sept. 17, I was charged twice the fare for my UBER trip. Although I only received one text message confirmation, I know it was more than the fare because my balance suddenly dropped as seen in the text. I reported to UBER that it was a duplicate charge, but they said they only received one payment transaction from my VISA (PayMaya). I computed my balance based on my previous transactions just to make sure I wasn’t wrong, and it was indeed twice the fare. The transaction has been completed, yet no amount was credited to my PayMaya account for the second charge. I was checking the PayMaya app for any feature or link to complaints but couldn’t find any. How can I report this? Thanks!
Contact support@paymaya.com, explain it to them. There are also a complete log in your PayMaya app. It is wise to keep the last 5 transactions you made with PayMaya on your phone
Hi I’m just new here.. Can u help me pls.. I have a virtual paymaya but I can’t use it because it oftens ask about my billing postcode.. I put my postalcode but still not accepted..someone pls help me what to put in billing postcode.tia

PayMaya have no maintenance balance
I ordered by card online and the one I have doesn’t have the beep logo on it. does that mean it’s not a beep card?
If the beep logo is missing, it is an ordinary PayMaya card with no Beep chip.
Hi! I bought a game from the appstore but the amount in my paymaya wasn’t deducted. How long will it take to reflect on my account? Thanks.
it is instant, that may only mean 2 things.
1. the purchase failed
2. google scheduled the actually charging (usually 24-48 hours)
hi why im not receiving confirmation text from paymaya . I cant link my card bc it requires a 6 digit pin.
Send an email to support@paymaya.com and ask for the pin, it is part of your transaction logs
Hi, how many days I will receive the Paymaya Card? Cebu location and I chose cash upon delivery. I was not able to see the delivery period. but it was successful though. I am afraid that by the time it arrives, i am not around to receive it and pay the amount. however, I was able to leave a message/ instructions. thanks
The delivery time is approximately 7-10 days. I can be shorter but on some cases, it takes at most 14 days.
I tried to purchase an item online last night. I received an email from the merchant that it was processed and confirmed on the PayMaya app that the amount was already taken off of my account (or reserved maybe?). This morning I received another email from the merchant telling me that they were unable to process the payment. How long will it reflect that the amount was credited back to my PayMaya account? I can’t find any info regarding PayMaya’s billing cycle or if they follow any.
The money credits back within the same day.In your case, you need to dispute the charge. Send a support email to support@paymaya.com and give proof of purchase and proof that the transaction was declined the next day. Be careful since some online stores never delivered the items and just pretend that they did not get the money even if they have taken it out already.
Some stores also send a test purchase of $1.00, it is possible that the charge that went through was a test purchase and when they charge your PayMaya card, you have insufficient money causing the transaction to decline and fail.
Why is it tsking forerver for the loaded ammount to appear un our card?? And also if we eould like to load up our mobile phone what if my number is a sun cellular?? There is no lunk or item to choose for loading sun! This is now creating a big inconvenience on our part!!!
PayMaya loads up in less than 2 minutes unless you use BDO online banking which takes 2 hours to credit from Monday-Friday till 5pm or 24 hours when done after 5pm or on weekend
Why was it an inconvenience when PayMaya can only load Smart at TNT at the moment? They did not claim that they can load up Sun.

PAYMAYA is debit eater… I’ve also experience hell of refund, my stuffs were cancelled by merchant and didnt not collect any amount but this damn paymaya ask requirements and upon sending no respond on their lazy agents, I even added rvca team support on email trail and instructing them to refund their customer and even showing screenshot their gateway payment that there is no amount collected, but still those idiot agent on paymaya never replied or on the trail… Keep calling their hotline for follow up its looks like they do not care at all, its been 12 days since i submitted documents they needed but I dont know when do I can get back my refund no email reply, no assurance… PAYMAYA Is suck! Better have visa debit card from legit bank rather than having debitcard from 3rd party which makes life hell… Stupid **** to avail their card, youll regret it all.
Sorry to hear that but I never experience it and I am using the service since Day 1. I don’t know any people who have issues like yours. I approved your post which was put on spam bin and no alteration except 1 word censorship.
PayMaya also automatically refunds since it is VISA but the other end must cancel the transaction. The merchant you purchase from may have NOT cancelled the transaction and it successfully credited on their Credit Card. That is how online purchases work, if the other end won’t cancel, it will complete and the money is on the seller. The only kind of transactions that does not need a cancellation to refund is merchant test purchase, it is just a request to RESERVE $1-$5 and not CHARGE. After a few hours, the transaction will revert and ONLY VISA can accept the money back into their system.
Hello…I already have paymaya accout, I want to purchase in zynga poker game vut it doesn’t work., where can I find the pin of my online purchase card..please help me
First activate your PayMaya virtual card, you can do it on the apps card management. You wont get a PIN unless you have a physical card instead you will have a CCV2 code, you can see that CCV2 on card management.
Can I use PayMaya to buy Steam Wallet Code on 7/11 Store?
You can use PayMaya to purchase Steam Wallet load as long as the company approves and accepts Visa. PayMaya is my favorite source of money for Steam purchase and Steam Wallet reload
I followed loading up with BDO online and says it will credit within 2 hours. It still doesn’t load up after 2 1/2 hours. Is this normal?
Did you inserte the correct phone number with {63) country code and the correct name? If yes it should credit within 2 hours unless you made a transfer past 8pm which will take 1-2 days
Quick question, how can someone send me money thru BDO? Thank you.
Goto Bills Payment, select “PayMaya”
On the account number, enter your registered phone number plus country code of 63 (example 639192618922) and account name as your registered name on PayMaya.
The money will be credited between 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours.
Hi, can someone from the US load my Paymaya account?
They can only load up your PayMaya if they have an existing BDO account.
I know this is a dumb question but I’m just really new to online shopping… So I’m planning to purchase an item using paymaya, if I load 200 on my card and the amount I’m about to purchase is greater than my load can I still purchase it? Will I pay it cash on delivery? Thanks!
PayMaya is a prepaid credit card, as of now, you can only have a negative balance by using your card on Uber. In case for online purchase, you can’t go beyond what you have on your card. The transaction will be declined with an error like “Your bank denied the card transaction”.
I know this is the dumbest question pero is it okay na gamitin ang paymaya for saving money?
No, don’t use PayMaya to save money, anyone can charge your PayMaya card if they know your name, address, card number and CVV code. PayMaya also won’t earn you any interest. You better deposit your money on a bank.
No REAL question is dumb question.
How to withdraw a money from atm machine using pay maya visa card? Does it required a pin? The pin with 6 digits registerd on the app settings?
It requires a PIN. The PIN can be set on your PayMaya APP and will only be available after you have upgraded your account. Added info, since PayMaya is still negotiating with banks to find a reasonable partner, all ATM transactions will be charged at P15, it is wise to check your balance via text messages.
can it pay(PaymayaVirtualCard) for an international company/site that needs Visa is this applicable?
Yes, you can use it to pay online
Hi is it possible if i use my paymaya virtual card for paying method in Zentaizone? cause it requires a visa card and paypal thank you 🙂
hope u can reply
You can use PayMaya to pay all company that needs a Visa electronic card/online payment. You can also link your PayMaya to PayPal if the site only cater PayPal
is it possible to withdraw my remaining balance on my PayMaya Virtual Card? if yes, how? thank you
If you intend to withdraw those money below P100 then the answer is you can’t withdraw them but you can use them to load your prepaid card
what if it’s not below ₱100? thank you
You can widraw via any ATM machines, the charge is P15 per transaction. Fastest to zero it out is to use your PayMaya to pay groceries
The P100 or above is for ATM withdrawals, right? It would need the physical card anyway.
What about the virtual card though; Can funds from it be withdrawn from at least BDO branches?
And I think we have to be upgraded to do that. Is that right?
Aaa nevermind. I just read from a few replies below that there isn’t a bank branch withdrawable from using either physical or virtual card.
So the only way to withdraw funds is thru ATMs with a physical card as of this moment.
PayMaya have no partner banks yet. Smart E-money dropped the planned partnership with BDO a year before official release. They instead partnered with a big IT industry from another country. Base from PayMaya, they are already working to talk with banks to find the perfect partner so people won’t be charged P15 per transaction and over the counter withdrawal
Ah, at least that’s good to hear that they’re already working on it. Thanks!
is it possible to withdraw my remaining balance on my PayMaya Virtual Card? if yes, how? thank you
How much is the loading fee?
For SM payment center it is P11 – P15, charge changes from branch to branch but they are close to each other.
I have no idea how much Robinson payment center charges.
For BDO, it is free, you need to use a PayMent Slip. The money will be credited in 2-4 hours.
It is free for now on most 711 branches.
You can also use SmartPadala service.
Can I make a postpaid plan with globe by using paymaya as a credit card?
You can’t, you need a credit card for not and not a prepaid one.
Hello What happens to my Paymaya? I topped it up and it says there is a server error this go on for days already..
Where did you top it up? It is working on my side.
Possible issues are, your choice of top up method is under maintenance. I can receive topups from SmartMoney and from BDO. You can also send an email to support@paymaya.com and tell them the issue you have encountered. They are the one who have your complete records including failed topups.
i already load up how can I redeem it as steam wallet?
Go to steam and purchase steam wallet credits
Does PayMaya support cash conversion of peso to yen? I’m planning on ordering from amazon.co.jp
Visa cards support conversion.
can i connect this with paypal? cos im planning to buy something from massdrop and paypal is a mode of payment there
Yes you can connect to PayPal since it is a credit card. The only catch is that PayMaya is a prepaid credit card, you can’t spend beyond the amount stored on your card.
Can i use this on steam? do i need to upgrade the card? been having trouble with globe’s amex I really need this,
You can use it on steam, I was purchasing a lot of games from steam using PayMaya. Sometimes, Steam’s card processor gets clogged up and the card may fail.
You only need to activate and have enough cash on the account to purchase.
So if i use Paymaya and want to load into STeam, I will use VISA? enter the card number and other Info from my PayMaya Visa card? how much does i have to pay to purchase 700 Paymaya in 7/11 kiosk?
Most 711 branches have P0 charge fee.
How long does Paymaya update my balance after purchasing online? In my case, I used Paymaya for Ad Promotion in Facebook, my balance haven’t changed yet 24 hours past my transaction. Then I tried purchasing again and it works though technically, I should have no enough balance for that. Would they deduct my excess expenses on my next top up? Thank you.
It is an instant update
I have the same problem .. My paymaya still doesnt deduct any balance after i buy a in-app purchase
PayMaya automatically updates and even will send you a text message. You can manually do a balance inquiry by texting BAL to 292907969
if i loaded my paymaya and decided to withdraw some, can i do it in BDO?
You can do it on any ATM, they have no partner bank yet for withdrawals
Why did you link it more than once. Itunes is slow in linking. I have no idea with iTunes but Google Pay and PayPal will return that Money
Yeah my bad…. Ill be loading soon… Hiw many days will they deduct what i owe?
hi can you help me… first timer here… how does paymaya being deducted? i have overpurchased in he app store… and every time i update my payment info in itunes they duducted $1… when i checked my purchase history in itunes, it says that nothing is being paid with all the apps ive purchased… i’m planning to load up my paymaya again… how will it be duducted…. sorry bad english…
You cannot over spend on PayMaya, it is a prepaid credit card and will only consume your current load wallet balance. The feature to auto deduct from your bank account was not yet implemented since they have no bank partner yet
yes you can… i currently owe app store $25 and i cant download even download or update my apps…
You cannot download or update since you have not paid the amount yet.
The $1 charge you got was the standard account verification. If the $1 gets charge succesfully, your credit card will be added to your account
and i thougt paymaya is dudected $1 at a time. i linked paymaya with itunes repeatedly and it deducted $1 every time. my 500 PESOS load is now 27.05 PESOS… will it be refunded in the end?
actually its not transfered… i withdrew some amount… for real? 1week?!
2 days is the fastest before they changed, it was PayPal who changed the rule and made it 5 – 7 working days. Please note the word “working”. Every transaction going to PayMaya was credited in less than 5 minutes except stated otherwise (BDO transfer the Money in 2 hours)
As an added info:
PayPal was not charging any amount for PayMaya transactions until January for amounts greater than P7000
PayPal also credits the money in less then 3 days early this year.
Today PayPal
Charges P250 fixed for every card withdrawal, maybe to make their processing easier. The amount if NOW FLAT rate.
They have lengthen the time to 5 – 7 working days perhaps due to credit card frauds.
The one that takes 2 days now is the refund for the $1 charge when activating PayPal using PayMaya.
will it deduct even if i’m offline?
It is a VISA card, all credit card will auto deduct or charge even if you are sleeping once you made a purchase
hi i transfered my funds from paypal to paymaya… its already 30hours ago….. how long will i wait??
up to 1 week. transfer time is 3 days to 1 week.
i thought i was less than 2 days.
It was PayPal who changed the rules, before it was 2-3 days then the changed it to a longer time period but still early this year.. they deliver in less than 3 days.
Updated photo for Withdrawals are here and before you can proceed with the process, PayPal presents the time, cost and choice of bank or card for the Withdrawal.
Hi I loaded my paymaya virtual card from 7/11. And im purchasing something online for my project but it was declined? Is it activates the moment you loaded it?

Hi! Is PayMaya the same with other credit cards when it comes to billing? Like will they send you a statement of account at the end of the month or you have to put enough credits on your card before you can purchase something? And also how and where can you withdraw your funds from paypal? Thanks
Add enough credits, PayMaya is a prepaid credit card that can accept deposits using Visa Network.
Just to make things clear, so that means that you cannot purchase something when your credit isn’t enough?
Yes, it is a prepaid credit card. It works like a debit card except that you no longer need to key in your pin and can accept transfers
Okay thank you. And also am I going to put the Virtual Credit Card info when I add my credit card onto a website or the physical card info? I just noticed when I activated the virtual one its credit card number was different onto my physical card but I already linked it to the app.
how can you change your address linked to your paymaya if ordered from online?
Contact support@paymaya.com
Hi, i cannot. Link my PayMaya visa card, it says wrong info. Am i typing wrong? Account # is the same as the credit card # right?
Check your supplied address and make sure that you have an activated account.
Name, Address, Credit card number and CVV2 must match
Check this http://coderinthebox.com/software/android/activate-paypal-using-paymaya/ since you mentioned account number, you are linking a bank account not a credit card
Can paymaya locate scammers?
PayMaya is a credit card company not a police agency
i’ve been using paymaya for purchasing dress in online shop like ali. but last night i order in dre******* the payment was hold. why is that?

Cards are pre-activated if ordered online, you only need to link it to your PayMaya virtual account using PayMaya android program
Do you mean pre-upgraded? We do have to activate the card thru the app or SMS…at least the PayMaya FAQ said so. (https://paymaya.com/faq/)
Hi there! Why can’t I use my PayMaya at Metrodeal?
Before you can use your PayMaya you need to activate it first. Activated means you already setup the billing address, activated by accepting the terms and added enough cash to your account.
If your PayMaya billing details does not match your billing address used when paying, the transaction will be rejected just like a real credit card.
How does paymaya charge my credit?
PayMaya won’t charge your credit, it will subtract the amount you purchased on it’s virtual wallet. PayMaya is a stand alone prepaid credit card.
I’m using my paymaya virtual for promotions.. When will they charge my credit?
All transactions done with PayMaya gets deducted real time on your PayMaya virtual wallet. Crediting on the other hand can be done real time or with 2 hours delay
can i use paymaya to buy items from ebay?

i tried using paymaya for steam wallet funds, it always says that an error has occured. does it not support steam?
It supports all. I am using it to purchase steam games, it is steam who have random issues due to high volume of request. 🙂
does it have to be linked to a physical card for steam to accept payments from paymaya? I’m getting errors and I can buy steam games
I can’t buy steam games*
No need for a physical card as long as you have enough cash and an activated account
just keep trying to withdraw the paypal funds to paymaya ,I actually just made it , it is pending now for withdrawal review for 24hrs. using android smartphone used different browsers ended with puffin browser , withdraw your funds from pH currency so convert it via PayPal ,give it a try! hope this works for us
I got mine after 36 hours for $1.00 converted at the rate of P40.xx per $1.00, honestly speaking, PayPal try to cheat it’s user for years using currency conversions. Still, nothing beast Paypal in Philippines for now due to buyer protection. You can’t win at everything
Can you physically withdraw from Paymaya?
Yes, you can withdraw from PayMaya but first, you need to ask for your PayMaya physical card. It cose P100 with P100 credits and P30 beep card load. You can avail for the card in any Smart Jumpin stores or any PayMaya booth. What you can’t get as of this moment is a personalized PayMaya card.
I tried withdrawing from PayPal to PayMaya. It said: “You cannot complete this transaction at this time.” PayMaya told me they had not limits for withdrawing from PayPal, and PayPal said my problem was probably my browser (I changed browsers, it still didn’t work). Maybe we can only buy with PayMaya but not withdraw into it even if PayPal says it’s eligible.
Good pm, sorry for the late response.. SmartMoney have undergone maintenance yesterday. I will try adding my paymaya account to paypal again to see if things changed.
I have successful re-added my PayMaya and widrawn $1.00 going to PayMaya, the transaction works and I got P40 for $1.00. Transactions takes a few days to complete. I will test it again in the coming months.
is it to any bank?
Can you link it with Paypal?
Yes, you can easily link with Paypal. Add a credit card in Paypal then use your Virtual PayMaya card provided in the app. Paypal will try to withdraw $1 – $5 from your PayMaya Wallet. If your PayMaya account have at least P250, the transaction will proceed and you will have that same amount on your Paypal Account. The receipt will be sent as a text message on your registered sim number.
As of December, Paypal will only charge you $1.00 when linking PayMaya to them. After 2-3 days, the same $1.00 will be refunded to your PayMaya Account.
Why is paymaya in facebook not replying to my messages i want to upgrade my accnt but they just seen me and not replying to my email. Can i still withdraw using the paymaya visa card without upgrading?
You need to be upgraded before you can widraw or transfer to other accounts. You can visit selected Bayad Centers to upgrade. Leave a comment with your area (City, district) and I may be able to point you to a Bayad Center
