As we mentioned, Maya, formerly known as PayMaya, is a digital wallet in the Philippines used for everyday transactions by many people. For those of you who want to send money from BPI to Maya, we’ve provided a tutorial.
You can send money from BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands) to Maya in two easy ways: through the Maya app (by linking your BPI account) or directly from the BPI app (using the bank transfer feature). Check out the quick tutorial here!
How to send money from BPI to Maya via the Maya app
The first method is through the Maya app. This method is suitable for those of you who want a convenient way to send money to your Maya wallet using the “in cash” feature in the Maya app. Make sure you have a verified Maya account. Here are the steps to send money from BPI to Maya via the Maya app:
- First, log in to your Maya app. Make sure you’re logged in to your account. Then, tap the Cash In icon on the main page (Wallet dashboard).
- Then, select the Bank Account option and select BPI.
- Enter the amount you wish to withdraw from BPI.
- Tap “Continue,” and the system will prompt you to log in using your BPI Online Banking username and password for the linking process.
- Then, select the BPI account you wish to use as the source of funds.
- Enter the OTP code sent by BPI via SMS to your mobile number.
- Wait a few moments, and your Maya balance will be added immediately.
How to Send Money from BPI to Maya via BPI Mobile Banking
The second method we can use is through BPI mobile banking. However, before sending money from BPI to Maya via BPI mobile banking, you must have a BPI Online account and the BPI mobile app installed on your phone. You can download the BPI mobile app from Google Play or the App Store.
Here are the steps:
- First, log in to the BPI Mobile app and make sure you’re logged in to your account. Then, tap the “Move Money” menu and select “Transfer Money.”
- Then, select “To another bank/e-wallet” and select your BPI account as the source of funds (Transfer From).
- Enter the amount you wish to send. In the “Destination Bank” field, select “Maya Philippines, Inc.” or “Maya Wallet.”
- Then, enter the 11-digit mobile number registered to Maya’s account as the destination account number.
- Enter the name of the Maya account holder. Next, select the InstaPay transfer method for instant transfer.
- Review the transaction details, agree to the terms and conditions, and confirm using your Mobile Key or PIN.
- Wait a few moments for your transaction to be successful.
Other Information
If you send money directly using the Maya app (the first method), Maya sometimes offers free admin fees or special promotions. If you send money using the BPI mobile banking app, you will be charged the standard InstaPay interbank transfer fee (around PHP 10).
Then, there’s no need to wait long; transfers via InstaPay or the bank link will arrive in real time/instantly. However, in some cases, there may be delays in the transfer process, possibly caused by server issues. If you experience this or other issues, don’t hesitate to contact BPI (+63 2 8891 0000) or Maya Customer Service. We hope this helps!
