PayMaya helps Three Major Learning Institutions in Davao to go Cashless
In these adverse circumstances, we are slowly embracing the concept of the new normal since no one knows for certain when we will come out of the lockdowns, as the pandemic shows no sign of slowing down any time soon — the case in the Philippines.
This disruption caused by the pandemic affected so much specifically the educational system that has forced the sudden adaption of online learning across all levels.
While the Department of Education is ironing out this alternative learning method, the only end-to-end digital payments ecosystem enabler in the Philippines, PayMaya, has empowered over 40 schools nationwide with cashless payment solutions online and in-school, providing students a safer and more convenient way to pay for enrollment fees and other educational expenses.
In Davao, Ateneo De Davao University (ADDU), Malayan Colleges Mindanao (MCM), and University of Immaculate Conception (UIC) are the three major institutions to adopt PayMaya’s end-to-end digital payment solutions such as the PayMaya’s Online payment gateway for their online channels and the One by PayMaya Point of Sale (POS) device for school cashiers.
As schools transition to the ‘New Normal’ in education, ADDU, MCM, and UIC, are among the schools enabling their online student portals with PayMaya’s online payment gateway, which allows them to easily process tuition and other payments using debit and credit cards and e-Wallets such as PayMaya.
These institutions are also equipping their school’s cashiers with the One by PayMaya POS device to allow safer and more seamless payments by using the scan-to-pay via PayMaya QR feature or by tapping or dipping using their credit, debit, and prepaid cards.
These efforts are in response to the Department of Education’s directive to implement blended learning that utilizes both online and in-person modalities for education, where students are encouraged to utilize online classes, printed modules, and educational TV and radio broadcast as main learning channels this school year.
PayMaya’s cashless payment solutions play a critical role in the schools' shift to blended learning while at the same time helping keep school personnel safe by eliminating risks of cash handling in light of the current public health situation.
Aside from these digital payment innovations, PayMaya has previously rolled out cashless payment ecosystems starting with the PayMaya-powered student ID card in schools including University of the Philippines, La Salle Green Hills, LPU-Batangas, and STI, among many others. Students can easily link the PayMaya-powered student ID card to their PayMaya account and maximize for payment transactions even outside the campus at Bancnet-powered payment terminals and ATMs nationwide.
