Tips and Reminders for Using Electronic Payment Systems in the Philippines

If it is only a small amount of consumption, it is more convenient to store value directly with cash in a physical store.


If you have any doubts about your qualifications, you don’t need to provide your passport or identity document to complete the advanced user authentication. You can also use QRCODE payment and mobile phone number bill & plan.


Don’t store too much money at once, as you won’t be able to use it again after returning to Taiwan!
