Financial technology (fintech) platform PayMaya has partnered with the Philippine Red Cross to facilitate donations to the latter via the digital finance app, joining other donation drives to fight the novel coronavirus (Covid-19).
In an advisory, the Filipino mobile wallet said its app now allows PayMaya account holders to directly donate money to the humanitarian aid organization via a digital QR code.
To donate, PayMaya users just have to scan the Philippine Red Cross QR code posted on social-media accounts, enter the amount they want to give, and click pay. The nongovernment organization will use the funds collection for “critical humanitarian services such as medical assistance and relief operations in this time of need.”
Aside from this, PayMaya has also equipped its PayMaya One devices, point-of-sale devices that function via a modified cellular phone so they may be able to accept card and QR donations whenever they are in the field.
“In these trying times, every contribution counts in making sure that no one is left behind,” the advisory read.
