If you love Pokemon Go, you’ll love PayMaya, too.
When the Pokemon GO app launches in the Philippines, you can make in-app purchases via PayMaya, the easiest way to pay online even without a credit card. First, download the PayMaya app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Second, load up your account with at least P60 to cover the standard app store verification fee. Third, link your PaMaya virtual VISA card to your app store accounts so you can make in-app purchases for Pokecoins (the in-app currency used inside the Pokemon GO game).
Pokemon GO is a location-based mobile game developed by Niantic Labs in partnership with Nintendo affiliate The Pokemon Company. The mobile game allows players to catch Pokemon or “pocket monsters” as if in real life using the GPS and camera of their smartphones. While available in Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK, and select European countries, it has yet to launch in many Asian countries though it has just launched in Japan.
Purchase Pokecoins with PayMaya
With the help of Pokecoins, players can buy items that will help them navigate the game, such as Pokeballs to catch Pokemon with, Pokemon eggs that allow them to “hatch” Pokemon, Potions to restore the health of their Pokemon, and Incense and Lure Modules that make it easy to attract wild Pokemon to their immediate vicinity.
In-app purchases are made more convenient with PayMaya as mobile game players can easily load up at any of the over 15,000 PayMaya reloading stations nationwide that include SM Malls Business Centers, Robinsons Department Stores, Bayad Centers, 7-Eleven stores with Cliqq kiosks, TouchPay Kiosks, and Smart Padala Centers, on top of online banking via BDO.
Aside from the mobile app, PayMaya customers can also opt to have their own PayMaya physical prepaid card which can be used in brick-and-mortar stores worldwide that accept Visa. A variant also comes with its own beep™ wallet, allowing users to ride the MRT, LRT, some city buses and other beep™-powered transportation for their daily commute, so they can easily explore the city in search of wild Pokemon.
Users who upgrade their PayMaya account can use their PayMaya for peer-to-peer money transfers and ATM withdrawals.

Those who want to stay updated on news about the upcoming release of the game in the Philippines may now download the freenet app on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
