More than just a convenient way to make payments, your Maya Card offers a range of benefits that make spending easier, safer, and more rewarding. With this beautiful black debit card from the #1 digital bank in the Philippines, you have the freedom to pay for almost anything, both locally and internationally, while enjoying world-class security features. At the same time, paying using your Maya Card gives you the chance to boost your Maya Savings interest rate to 15% p.a. It’s a smart way to manage your budget while maximizing and growing your savings. That said, if you’re thinking about what types of transactions you can complete using your Maya Card, here are just some of them:
1. Groceries and Essentials
Using your Maya Card for groceries is a simple way to streamline your household shopping. The card is accepted at most major supermarkets, convenience stores, and even local grocers that support card payments, and paying with it means you don’t have to deal with cash. The Maya app records every transaction involving your card in real time, so you can just check it to track how much you actually spent while grocery shopping. It’s a good habit to adopt if you want to stay on top of your budget.
2. Online Shopping
Are you a fan of home-grown e-commerce stores? Do you find yourself browsing the collection of world-renowned brands? Or are you, perhaps drawn, to cross-border shopping? The good news is that you can use the Maya Card to complete your local and international online transactions in a snap. Powered by either VISA or Mastercard, the Maya Card is accepted worldwide, and using it presents you with hassle-free shopping experiences. Security is a top priority for Maya, too, with the Maya Card employing modern anti-fraud technologies to keep your transactions safe and private. This, coupled with the mindful online shopping habits that you can develop yourself, ensures that each purchase you make with your Maya Card is quick, safe, and secure.
3. Dining Out and Food Delivery
If you frequently order food delivery services or dine out with friends and family, use the Maya Card to simplify your transactions. You can connect the card to your preferred food delivery platform and skip the process of transferring funds or fumbling for cash whenever you feel a bit peckish.
The card is also a convenient payment option when you’re spending time in your favorite restaurants, bars, or cafes. Some restaurants and delivery platforms even offer promotions when you pay with a debit card, so using your Maya Card could help you save. Just like your other transactions involving the Maya Card, you can find the details of your dining spending on the Maya app and use it as a reference when setting your next month’s dining budget.
4. Transportation and Travel
If your work or lifestyle involves a lot of commuting, you can count on the Maya Card to make the process of paying for your transportation costs simpler and faster. Connect the card to Grab or other service providers so you don’t have to worry about cash payments when you need to hail a ride. You can do the same if you’re booking a bus ride or a flight.
Also, remember that the Maya is internationally accepted. This means you can rely on the card as a payment option when traveling abroad. With it, you don’t need to carry large amounts of foreign currency when arranging international travel.
5. Streaming and Digital Subscriptions
Keep up with your favorite streaming platforms and digital subscriptions with ease. You can use the card details when subscribing to Netflix, Spotify, or other digital services. The service provider can then just automatically deduct the monthly payments from your account. This way, you never miss out on entertainment options.
The details of your subscription payments are recorded in the Maya app’s transaction history section, plus you’ll receive notifications once the subscription has been paid. In case your account has been compromised and there are suspicious transactions using your card details, you can immediately block the card using the Maya app. This feature helps ensure that you have complete control over your digital payments and finances at all times.
6. Insurance Premiums
Paying for insurance premiums is hassle-free with the Maya Card. Health, car, or life insurance premiums can be paid online or through service providers that accept debit cards. You can make sure, then, that your loved ones and your valuable assets are protected at all times.
7. Healthcare and Pharmacy Purchases
You can count on the Maya Card in times of medical need as well. The card can be used to cover medical expenses at pharmacies and healthcare providers that accept debit card payments. Having your card on hand means you can quickly and securely purchase medications or pay for doctor’s consultations, eliminating the need to withdraw cash when you’re faced with an emergency.
8. School Fees
The Maya Card can also help parents and students by providing a safer way to pay for school fees in institutions that accept debit card payments. Instead of handling cash or going through time-consuming bank transactions, you can pay using the Maya Card on the school’s digital platform or preferred financial channel. It’s one less thing to worry about at the start of the new school year.
9. Gaming and In-App Purchases
For gamers, the Maya Card is a perfect option for purchasing games, digital content, and in-app purchases. With its international acceptance, you can buy games from major platforms, like Steam or the Apple App Store, without the need for a credit card. This gives you safe, easy access to games and additional content while ensuring that all purchases remain within your budget.
