PHILPPINES – PayMaya users can now enjoy better peace of mind when shopping online with Buyer Protect, the only online shopping insurance provided at no additional cost by an e-wallet in the country. Buyer Protect is underwritten by leading general insurer AIG Philippines Insurance and developed by PayMaya with leading international insurtech, bolttech.
If you shop online and pay using your PayMaya account, you now enjoy peace of mind for undelivered, incomplete, or damaged purchases. This is because you are now covered – thanks to Buyer Protect. Best of all, you can take advantage of this offer at no extra cost!
With Buyer Protect Insurance, you can enjoy coverage for purchases with a minimum spend of PHP100 per transaction from legitimate online sellers with their own website or official stores on Lazada, Shopee, Instagram, Facebook Marketplace, and similar sites.
Easily get your money back if you experience online shopping fails – be it new home décor items delivered to you with damages or incomplete items from your recent shopping haul. If the seller is not willing to provide a refund, you can get it conveniently with PayMaya’s Buyer Protect!
You can get reimbursed up to PHP8,000 per valid claim, or up to PHP16,000 annually for undelivered, incomplete, or damaged purchases from eligible online sellers. To access this free insurance product, you just have to make sure that you have an upgraded PayMaya account and that you use your PayMaya card, QR code or mobile number for your online purchase.
The launch of this new offer is just one of the many ways PayMaya is making online transactions safer for you. In December 2021, the company also introduced PayMaya Verified Sellers, making it the only e-wallet that provides a special badge to legitimate and trustworthy online sellers. With this, it is easier to know if the casual seller you are paying is legit!

The company also introduced Mobile Protect, which allows users to avail themselves of mobile phone repair services from bolttech for Cracked Screen or Accidental and Liquid Damage.
