PLDT Global ties up with KMall app developer

PLDT Global Corp., a subsidiary of telecommunications and digital services provider PLDT, has bolstered its e-commerce foothold by forging a partnership with South Korea’s Powercall Co. Ltd., the developer of the KMall e-commerce app.

PLDT Global said through Powercall’s KMall e-commerce app, customers would now be able to purchase Smart, TNT, and Sun electronic load products with just a few taps on their smartphones.

“Through this partnership, Filipinos can expect a more convenient and efficient way of purchasing e-load and paying for utility bills in the Philippines via the KMall app,” PLDT Global vice president and global marketing operations head Joel Lumanlan said.

The app will also provide Filipinos in South Korea more familiar, convenient, and secure payment methods, such as debit card payments and inter-bank fund transfers through mobile apps, online banking, and local automated teller machines.

“Since most of the Filipinos in South Korea do not have credit cards, KMall gives them an alternative payment methods to improve their online purchasing experience,” Lumanlan said.

With its extensive network of resellers, Powercall is also the biggest distributor of prepaid call cards to the Filipino market in South Korea.

PLDT Global said the partnership with Powercall is just one of its many undertakings to further strengthen its consumer solutions and empower Filipinos everywhere.

As the international business unit of the PLDT Group, PLDT Global builds and delivers a full range of digital innovations that serve the evolving needs of the global Filipino.

Last June, PLDT Global announced that it is expanding its partnership with international airtime remittance hub Tranglo.

Tranglo is a secure technology platform that enables payment service providers and businesses to perform cross-border payouts, prepaid reloads, and digital conveniences.
