Secure Your E-Wallet with These Safety Tips

Funding your mobile wallet is easy, but security is critical. Always double-check the recipient's information and the amount before confirming any transaction. Only use the official app or authorized partners to load cash. 

 

Beware of mobile and online scams! Never share your PIN, OTP, or security codes, even if someone claims to be from your bank. Remember: when accessing your cash online, avoid using public WiFi. Instead, protect your information by using a secure connection.

 

Enjoy convenient and secure cashless payments via GCash, GrabPay, or other e-wallets. Choose from mobile prepaid promos or postpaid plans to get reliable internet access for loading your e-wallet anytime, anywhere!
