PayMaya, a leading digital services provider has partnered with beep™ to offer commuters a safer way to load up their beep™ cards.
Commuters can enjoy a safe and contactless commute by simply purchasing their beep™ load packages using the PayMaya app. This method eliminates the need for face-to-face interactions with a teller, and the exchange of cash, which can contribute to the further spread of the virus.
Load packages are available through the PayMaya app in the following amounts – PhP100, PhP250, and PhP500 with an additional PhP5 convenience fee.
Once the beep™ card is loaded, it can already be used on LRT 1, LRT 2, MRT 3, as well as in Point-to-Point (P2P) and Metro Manila city buses. There’s also an increasing number of PUVs, among other transportation modes, that accept beep™ cards.
Commuters can also reload their beep™ cards through select Smart Padala agents in their neighborhood for a quick and convenient transaction.
- Go to your trusted Smart Padala agent and ask if beep load packages are available.
- Give the beep™ card account number and load amount. You can load P100, P250, and P500.
- Pay for the load amount with the additional P10 service fee.
- Head over to a beep™ e-load station and tap your card to receive the purchased load.
PayMaya has previously announced its support to the directive issued by the Department of Transportation and the Land Transportation Franchising Regulatory Board, which mandates the use of contactless payments in PUVs as part of the measures in what is dubbed as the “new normal.”
