As schools embrace and adapt to alternative learning methods this year due to the continuing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, Paymaya is empowering more than 40 schools, colleges and universities in the Philippines with online and in-school cashless payment solutions which provides students a safer and more convenient way to settle payment for their enrollment fees and various other educational expenses. In fact, several major learning institutions across the nation are starting to adopt Paymaya's end-to-end digital payment solutions such as Paymaya's Online payment gateway for online channels and One By Paymaya Point Of Sale (POS) device for school cashiers.

University of the Philippines (UP), Ateneo De Davao University (ADDU), La Salle Greenhills, Don Bosco Technical Institute of Makati Inc. (DBTI-Makati), Nord Anglia International School (NAIS) Manila, Malayan Colleges Mindanao (MCM) and University of Immaculate Concepcion (UIC) are among the schools enabling their online student portals with Paymaya's online payment gateway, which allows them to easily process tuition and other payments using debit and credit cards as well as e-wallets such as Paymaya, as schools transition to the "New Normal" in education. These institutions have also equipped their cashiers with the One By Paymaya POS device to allow safer and more seamless payments through either the use of scan-to-pay via Paymaya QR or by tapping or dipping using their credit, debit or prepaid cash cards.

These are in response to the Department of Education's directive to implement blended learning that utilizes both online and in-person modularities for education encouraging students to utilize online classes, printed modules, and educational radio and TV programs as main learning channels for the new school year slated to start on August 24th. Apart from these digital payment innovations which also help keep school personnel safe by eliminating risks of cash handling in light of the current public health situation, Paymaya has previously rolled out cashless payment ecosystems starting with the Paymaya-powered student ID card in schools such as UP, La Salle Greenhills, Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) Batangas, STI Colleges and many others. Students can easily link their Paymaya-powered student ID card to their Paymaya account and maximize your payment and cashless transactions even outside their campus at Bancnet-powered payment terminals and ATMs nationwide.
