More Filipinos enjoy the convenience of receiving Western Union remittances with PayMaya

Cashless convenience is within your fingertips when you receive your Western Union remittance through your PayMaya account. 
More Filipinos are beginning to enjoy the convenience of receiving their international remittances from Western Union via their PayMaya accounts - allowing them to save time and effort in claiming their funds.
Among the Filipinos who have gained appreciation on the convenience of claiming their remittance the cashless way are the seven lucky PayMaya users who won at the recently-concluded PayMaya - Western Union Raffle Promo, where they had a chance to take home as much as P100,000 in prizes. 
To join the promo, all they had to do was claim their Western Union remittance via PayMaya and kickstart their cashless living by completing a PayMaya transaction – whether it’s paying bills, sending money to another user, shopping online and in-stores, buying load, or paying via PayMaya QR.    Jeffrey Navarro, Regional Director for Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Indochina for Western Union (leftmost) and Kenneth Palacios, Head of Wallets Business for PayMaya Philippines, presents the P100,000 check to the grand winner of the PayMaya-Western Union Raffle promo, Benjamin Pasang, along with his family.
Reliable, hassle-free, and rewarding way to receive remittances  
One of the reasons why Western Union customers prefer to receive their funds via PayMaya is because of its hassle-free experience. Once the customer sends the money, they need to provide the 10-digit Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) to the recipient. To claim their remittance, all the receiver has to do is open the PayMaya app, tap add money and choose Western Union, then key in the 10-digit MTCN from the sender, along with the sender’s name and the amount sent, and tap receive. The funds will then be available in the customers PayMaya wallet and can be immediately used to pay for their bills or even order groceries at home.  
Raffle winner, Annabelle Valiente, said, “Since I can easily receive money into my PayMaya wallet, I find it absolutely convenient and it saves me time. Also, the funds are rapidly available for use.” 
“This is exactly the experience we want our customers to have whenever they send or receive money through Western Union – reliable, hassle-free, and rewarding. We’re happy to collaborate with PayMaya and provide our customers with convenient ways to receive money”, said Jeffrey Navarro, Regional Director for Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Indochina of Western Union
Convenient cashless living at your fingertips  
Once you receive your remittance in your PayMaya app, you can already unlock financial services to make your daily living easier and more productive. There are so many tasks that PayMaya can make even more convenient and plenty of deals you can take advantage of, giving you the most out of your own money.   
For Ronnie Dela Resma, one of the winners of the PayMaya - Western Union promo, and a PayMaya user of 4 years, PayMaya has been a useful tool in completing his household tasks which includes paying his monthly bills and purchasing prepaid load.  
Meanwhile, for Annabelle Valiente who operates a small travel business, PayMaya enables her to take advantage of low-price seat sales and book flights and accommodations online, even without a credit card.   
“Enabling Filipinos to get the most convenient and rewarding experience in every transaction is our goal here in PayMaya. We’re happy to provide them a reliable and hassle-free way to claim their remittances from Western Union and we’re more than excited to welcome them to the convenient cashless lifestyle with PayMaya,” Shailesh Baidwan, President of PayMaya Philippines.
