Angel Locsin The New Face of Smart Padala

Angel Locsin has been a face of many brands which Filipinos trust, and one the the newest brand that welcomed her is Smart Padala, the remittance brand of PayMaya Philippines (formerly Smart eMoney, Inc.), as they launched its new campaign. The new campaign aims to reinforce the brand message of Smart Padala which is PadaLapit.

With the growing economy brings jobs and also opportunities to Pinoys, the need for remittance service in the country has become a need more than a luxury. People would work far and would even do overtime and other part-time work to provide for their families.


However, doing remittance may not be easy for many of them as it would take a lot of time, forms, ids, transportation expense, and sometime can affect current work time just to get in time to those centers.Based on data from the first National Baseline Survey on Financial Inclusion released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas mid-2015, it is estimated that on average, Filipinos take around 22 minutes to reach the nearest financial services touch point. It also costs an average of P43 for a roundtrip fare.

But that will change as Smart Padala will be present in 15,000 centers nationwide which are accessible as sari-sari stores. Also processing is much more easier with the use of any number from any network, simple requirements as ID for basic identification and transaction fees that are minimal and if you send more than P3000 and above, you can get discounts!

PayMaya Philippines is the digital financial services unit of PLDT and Smart Communications (Smart), under the Voyager Group. Aside from Smart Padala, among its innovative services include: PayMaya, the leading over-the-top digital payments app in the Philippine market; PayMaya Business, suite of solutions for businesses of any size; and Smart Money, the pioneering mobile money service linked to the Smart SIM and mobile phone.
