Maya Cash In Options

Adding funds to your Maya wallet is pretty straightforward. You can do it thru the following options:

Option 1: Online Bank Account

Cash in thru a bank account using the Maya app is 100% free. However, at the moment, they only support 3 banks.

  1. BPI
  2. Unionbank
  3. RCBC

Option 2: Debit or Credit Card

Maya allows users to cash in thru major debit or credit cards. The latter is the quickest option, but you need to know a few things.

  1. Visa
  2. Mastercard
  3. JCB

The convenience fee is P200, and the minimum cash-in is P1,000. The fee is disappointing, but this feature is handy when you need cash.

Option 3: Padala Agents

The last cash-in option is thru padala branches. This is very useful and accessible for people who have limited internet connectivity.

Which is better GCash or Maya?

GCash vs Maya

It depends. GCash is best for personal use, but Maya is great for business owners.

I usually use GCash for bills payment, online purchases, and money transfers, but Maya is a good “backup” e-wallet.

GCash is easier to use, and most of my friends and family use it. Sadly, only a few of my friends are using Maya.

But, many businesses are using Maya Point of Sale (POS) because there’s no GCash POS.

Maya Customer Service

If, for any reason, you encounter problems with Maya, you can always contact them thru the following:

Conclusion

The Maya app is installed on my phone, but I only use it when merchants don’t accept GCash or Shopee Pay.

It’s an excellent mobile wallet, but only a few of my networks use it. Maya has to catch up to surpass GCash.

How about you? Are you using GCash or Maya?
