#tap and go

Smart Communications and PayMaya team up once again to bring a new way of paying for both toll and other necessities via its Tap & Go Smart Mastercard. The Tap & Go Smart Mastercard is a reloadable prepaid card powered by PayMaya and is the first prepaid Mastercard accepted for toll payments at NLEX and soon on CavitEx. Enjoying this service requires you to go to any Smart store and purchase the Tap & Go card. After that's done, you can already use it to pay on toll booths and for any purchases that accept Mastercard here in the Philippines or abroad. There are over 15,000 reloading stations nationwide including Smart Padala centers, 7-11 with Cliqq Kiosks, Ministop and Petro Station along NLEX with Touchpay Kiosks, and more. For more features, users may also download the PayMaya app on Google Play or iTunes and link it to their card so they can pay bills and send money to contacts. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has raised concerns over its ability to secure and maintain the Land Transportation Management System (LTMS), saying it still does not have access to the system’s source code. LTO Executive Director Martin Ontog said the agency is currently unable to directly fix system slowdowns and outages, leaving it acting mainly as a user of the platform.
