Coins.ph brings back instant cash-ins via 7-Eleven

-

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO---Coi ns.ph, the Philippine­s’leading blockchain-backed digital wallet, is re-enabling cash-in transactio­ns through any of 7Eleven’s 3,000+ branches in the Philippine­s. This move aims to provide a widely accessible and convenient option for customers who prefer an over-thecounter instant cash-in option that is within their vicinity.

With this collaborat­ion, over 15 million Coins.ph customers can add funds to their wallet in real time via 7-Eleven in three ways. The first is via the Coins.ph Wallet app, wherein customers can generate a 7Connect barcode that they will present to the cashier to scan and make a payment.

The customers can also use the CLiQQ kiosk in-store to generate a barcode to present to the cashier and make a payment. This option works best for customers who do not have mobile data or are not bringing their phone to the store. Meanwhile, customers who have the CLiQQ mobile app can utilize its “Add e-Money” option and present the generated barcode to any 7-Eleven cashier for payment.

“In the same way that 7-Eleven fulfills people’s everyday needs through goods sold and services rendered in our branches, Coins.ph also offers financial services for everyday transactio­ns such as buying load, paying bills, and more. Bringing back this cashin partnershi­p is a joint effort at continuous­ly finding ways to provide the best service to our customers,” said Jose Victor Paterno, President and CEO of Philippine Seven Corporatio­n.

This partnershi­p is aligned with Coins.ph’s mission to increase financial inclusion across Southeast Asia and supports the company’s ongoing efforts in making the wallet services more accessible for both the banked and unbanked.

“There’s always a 7Eleven store just around the corner. With its farreachin­g network nationwide, it helps customers in having an accessible way to fund their Coins.ph account. Coins.ph’s goal is to provide financial access and inclusion to communitie­s across the country. We are continuous­ly adding new services within Coins.ph to help Filipinos complete their transactio­ns convenient­ly using their phone as their wallet,” said Nauman Mustafa, CEO of Coi ns.ph.

Regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Coins.ph provides customers with direct and secure access to digital financial services, including prepaid loading for Philippine and internatio­nal mobile numbers, bill payments, local and internatio­nal remittance­s, game credits purchase, online shopping, and even buying and selling virtual assets anytime, anywhere. It is free to sign up for an account via the Coins.ph website or by downloadin­g the app on Google Play or the App Store.

Apart from the ease of completing everyday transactio­ns in a few taps on their phones, Coins.ph verified customers can enjoy rewards and other perks. The company is also planning to launch more partnershi­ps in the coming months to provide better services for consumers.

All cash-in transactio­ns via 7-Eleven are subject to a minimal partner fee equal to 2% of the transactio­n amount for service maintenanc­e. Coins.ph is reminding customers to be mindful of their area’s quarantine restrictio­ns to ensure their safety amid the pandemic.
