PayMaya expands supermarket tieups

MANILA, Philippines — Digital financial services leader PayMaya Philippines continues to bring cashless options to more customers as it expands further its growing network of supermarket partners.

PayMaya said the country’s biggest supermarkets have tied up with the company to cater to the growing number of consumers adopting digital payments for a more convenient and rewarding grocery shopping experience.

Landers, Rustans Supermarket and Shopwise have recently joined the growing list of PayMaya QR-enabled supermarkets, which already include Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Easymart, Robinsons Selections, Shopwise, Super8, Wellcome, LCC Supermarket, Metro Gaisano, Citimart Supermarket, WalterMart Supermarket, Budget Mart, South Emerald Supermarket, and Prince Hypermart.

“We see the strong shift of consumers towards the use of digital payments when shopping for groceries. Our partner merchants are able to address this demand by offering PayMaya QR and other digital payment options,” PayMaya president Shailesh Baidwan said.

“On top of the convenience and regular promos, consumers also get better than cash rewards when they shop at our PayMaya Preferred Merchants. We are glad that many Filipinos are finding not just the convenience but also the joys of paying with PayMaya for their regular groceries, so do expect more supermarket partners to be onboarded in the coming months,” Baidwan said.

PayMaya Preferred Partners are establishments where PayMaya customers can get additional perks and rewards each time they pay using PayMaya QR, which are on top of the usual rewards they can get when they pay using PayMaya QR.

Launched in December 2019, the PayMaya Preferred program aims to offer better than cash perks and experiences to all PayMaya users in partnership with merchants across different industries such as retail, gas, quick-service restaurants, and pharmacies.

PayMaya said customers can look forward to more rewards as PayMaya launches more PayMaya Preferred Partners this year.

“Whether it’s buying items for the household or preparing food for an upcoming party, grocery shoppers can take advantage of exclusive deals and valuable perks offered at select PayMaya Preferred grocery partners at the start of 2020,” it said.
