Philippines operator Smart Communications is teaming up with digital financial service firm PayMaya to deliver an improved and seamless loading experience on its self-care operator app, 'GigaLife App' with its newest feature GigaPay.
Through GigaPay, GigaLife App users can conveniently top-up, buy data and access other exclusive data promos on-the-go by enabling them to link their PayMaya wallet as their payment source for all in-app transactions.
To start using GigaPay, subscribers of Smart Prepaid, Smart Postpaid, Smart Bro, Prepaid Home WiFi, and TNT must first download the GigaLife app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Those already using GigaLife must update their version of the app, to enable the GigaPay functionality.
Upon logging in to the GigaLife App, customers can tap the GigaPay icon to link their existing PayMaya account as their payment source. New users may also create a new PayMaya account and link it. Once GigaPay has been activated, buying load and subscribing to promos on the GigaLife App can be as easy as clicking the preferred promo, and swiping across the screen to confirm the purchase.
For its initial rollout, GigaPay users can also reload at all available PayMaya cash-in touchpoints nationwide, conveniently keep track of all their transaction history, and get a rewarding experience by earning more GigaPoints which can be used to redeem data offers and exclusive lifestyle perks on the app.
