When in Manila, you can now do cashless shopping! With the advent of the VISA debit card, who says you need to carry around bulky sums of cash that could be very dangerous! You can do away with the constant fear of getting mugged on your way to your favorite shopping mall and you can now avoid other stresses brought about by shopping.
I’ve been a VISA debit card holder for over a year now and I’m pretty much impressed with its benefits.
Â
For one, I love books and it’s a routine to visit bookstores whenever I pass by the mall. There were several times when I unexpectedly see good books and was able to buy them despite not having cash with me since those purchases were unplanned. That’s one benefit from a VISA card! You can do instant spurts of shopping since VISA is widely accepted by shops and establishments.
Â
Â
Of course, you can also do online shopping. VISA is trusted by merchants and most of them accept online bank payments. Since I’m a UnionBank VISA card holder, I can also transfer cash from my bank account to another online! My account is also linked to PayPal and that’s exclusive to UnionBank! In this world where almost everything can be done online, VISA is there to offer us faster online transactions.
Â
Not only does VISA give you an avenue for faster online transactions but it also gives you a means for faster physical transactions. Just imagine the horror of long queues at ATM machines during salary period! It seemingly takes you years just to withdraw cash and by the time you reach the mall, you’re already exhausted. One good thing about ATM machines however is a lot of them are accepting any VISA card! With little additional cost, you don’t have to worry about finding your specific bank’s ATM machine just to get some cash anymore!
Since VISA is already established worldwide, its card holders are confident that they’ll be receiving the benefits that VISA promises – secured monetary transactions and a faster way to deal with various activities. Just do a simple Google search and see for yourself if it’s true that a good number of banks have the VISA logo on their cards.
Â
Shopping is a favorite therapy and stress-reliever to many. But shopping entails so much hassle if you’re not equipped with the right card that can save you from bringing cash, waiting in line to get cash from the ATM machine, and worrying about seeing unplanned good finds. When in Manila, get yourself your own VISA card!
