There's an easier and more convenient way of shopping online through the e-commerce app Lazada using the digital banking app Maya. "You just need to link your Maya e-wallet to your Lazada account once and that's it! You're ready to check out with Maya any time at a tap of the button… Just tap, select and set it up, so you can pay as you go," said Kamyll Blanco, manager of Maya Consumer Segment.

Blanco, along with Mishie dela Cruz, head of Lazada Philippines Marketing Solutions and Affiliates, talked about how the Maya x Lazada collaboration works during its recent media launch. Dela Cruz pointed out, "We also have exclusive offers for Maya users. Every Tuesday, users can enjoy up to P100 off on Lazada for all your Laz Beauty favorites and more. No promo codes needed. Discounts are instantly applied when you select Maya upon checkout."

"Plus," Blanco added, "there are banking rewards to be enjoyed every time you use Maya for your everyday payments. By choosing Maya at checkout, you can boost your Maya Savings interest of up to 10 percent per annum and enjoy it daily. So that's next-level banking and shopping combined."

Dela Cruz then declared, "This is just the beginning of a glowing partnership between Maya and Lazada. Even more opportunities and exclusive perks are in store for you when you become a member of the Lazbeauty Club and affiliate programs."

To formalize the two giant app's collaboration, Lazada chief executive officer Carlos Barrera, Maya chief marketing officer Pepe Torres and May Bank president Angelo Madrid led the ceremonial toast.

Also at the event, content creators Belle Rodolfo, also a beauty editor, and Miss Nate, a Lazbeauty Visionary Awardee, shared tips on various beauty and shopping routines. "Maya user talaga ako," Bondoc said, adding, "I would load it and then gagamitin ko lang ang laman no'n. So, I don't go over anything. I don't get tempted or anything. I just use it, it's so easy kasi it's linked right away, especially now."

Miss Nate, on the other hand, pointed out, "Ang tip ko sa inyo magwaldas kayo! But the tip is magwaldas kayo pag mga double-double sale. As a LazBeauty affiliate, they make me aware of the best deals. So 'yun din ang shini-share ko sa viewers natin. Ang best deals nasa double-double sales talaga."
