Why 7-Eleven?

There are a lot of ways to add money to PayMaya. In my experience, however, the most convenient way to add money to your PayMaya account is at 7-Eleven especially if your option is to have it over-the-counter. In major cities, 7-Eleven branches are almost everywhere. You can even find some branches inside malls and office buildings. They are also open 24/7. Therefore, you can add money anytime and that’s a huge plus point.

The payment method used is the best reason why adding money at 7-Eleven is very convenient. It is thru barcode and spares me of writing on a piece of paper the needed details. Below are the steps in adding money at 7-Eleven.

2. Select Add Money. This will open the Add Money Options page.
