Summer is just peeking in so making Boracay plans with family and friends is probably one of the things you’re busy with right about now. Actually, even if summer is still far away, Boracay is a travel goal that must be ticked off the list sooner or later. So, this may come in as an awesome update for you.
Now, traveling to Boracay with no cash on hand has become possible as the iconic beach goes cashless. How is that possible? With the help of PayMaya.
PayMaya and the Instagrammable food hub of Station X located within the premises of Hue Hotels and Resorts Boracay launched a partnership that allows consumers to buy anything they need using PayMaya’s QR-based payment system.

How does this work?
Just point your phone on the QR code found in the stores in Station X and then you can instantly proceed to payments. After trying it out personally, I can say the experience is pretty seamless.
PayMaya PH’s Paolo Azzola demonstrates how payment via QR codes is done.
Here’s a more detailed info on how payments via QR codes through PayMaya works:
Using PayMaya QR is very simple. All you have to do is download the PayMaya app on your iOS or Android phone, register for an account using any Philippine-based mobile number, and load up your account at any of the more than 15,000 touchpoints available for account holders. You can also register to have a PayMaya account via PayMaya in Messenger (@PayMayaOfficial).
Once you have funds available in your account, you simply have to tap “Scan” in the app and point the camera at the QR code displayed by the merchant, and you’ll be able to instantly pay for your purchases at the simple tap on your screen.
Paying via QR is perfect for the tech-savvy go-getters and travelers who rely on their mobile phones and use digital technologies to maximize their experiences. And Boracay is definitely teeming with them, especially now that the summer season is right around the corner.
Station X in Boracay is just the tip of the cashless revolution in the island. Tourists and locals alike can expect more PayMaya QR-enabled merchants in Boracay.
“We start with Hue and Station X today, but the goal is to make all of Boracay QR-capable via our ecosystem of PayMaya Spots, the same way we’re rolling it out in other cities and island, as we work toward building a cashless
Philippines,” according to Paolo Azzola, COO and Managing Director at PayMaya Philippines.

So, see you soon in cashless Boracay?
