When money gets smart

- Jennifer Ong -

Yup, you read that right. Money just got a whole lot smarter. How did that happen? Well, it got loaded into a phone, even a card. Then, it keenly forged a partnership with MasterCard. And finally, it became Smart Money.

Smart Money is the better money for many good reasons. It’s actually a reloadable payment card that’s the first of its kind. Think convenience. Think practicality. Think mobility. Think payment security. Now, doesn’t that sound smart to you?

Forget keeping cash in your wallet. As long as you’ve got your Smart Money Card and your Smart phone, you’re pretty much loaded! Shop with it. Dine with it. Settle your bills with it. You can even send load to someone else’s Smart mobile phone with it. As you can see, everything is just a swipe or a text message away.

The Smart Money Card has partnered with one of the biggest companies in worldwide electronic commerce, MasterCard Worldwide. And because of this formidable alliance, your Smart Money Card can be used in over 25 million MasterCard locations all over the world.  That’s a whole lot of stores and a wide variety of restaurants, where you are entitled to shop and dine with your Smart Money Card. And what’s more, you can also easily do online shopping 24/7 using your Smart mobile phone.

Meanwhile, settling your bills can now be done any time of day. With the help of Smart Money in your Smart mobile phone, you can take care of your most important utilities even at night. That means you can pay your monthly bills to PLDT Landline and Landline Plus, Sky Cable and/or ZPdee, Maynilad, MNTC North Luzon Expressway EC-Tag and, of course, Smart Gold Monthly and Smart Bro Monthly with just one simple text message.

ATM withdrawals can also be done through your Smart Money card. As a matter of fact, Smart Money has also partnered with Banco de Oro (BDO), ensuring that all Smart Money withdrawals at any BDO ATM machine all over the country can be done free of charge. Just the same, you can also readily do your Smart Money withdrawals through Bancnet, Expressnet, and Megalink ATM terminals nationwide. Withdraw using your Smart Money card anywhere in the world by simply going to any Cirrus ATM terminal overseas.

Passing on Smart load to another Smart prepaid account any time of day can also be done through your Smart Money card for a very minimal airtime balance requirement of P1. More importantly, any Smart Money cardholder can easily make fund transfers to another Smart Money account whenever and wherever needed.

Loading cash into your card is actually very easy to do, too. You can do it online with your credit card by logging on to PLDTOnline.com. Reload cash into your Smart Money wallet using your Mobile Banking Service, too. Or, you can also simply visit any of the many Banco de Oro banks, Smart Wireless Centers or other Smart Money accredited outlets nationwide.  

Just about anyone can have a Smart Money card. In fact, anyone aged 12 years old and up can apply for one online at smart.com.ph or by visiting any Smart Wireless Center.

Now, get smart with money!
