ARANETA City is encouraging customers to use digital payment channels amid the lockdown.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need for businesses to adapt safe and convenient contactless payment options without need to handle physical cash. This allows us to better reach and serve our customers in this time of unprecedented crisis. It’s good that Araneta City is prepared for this situation,” John Castelo, senior vice-president of the Araneta Group, said in a statement.
Hundreds of retail outlets within Araneta City already have contactless payment systems in place. Customers buying food at Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, and Taco Bell can also use QR mobile payment apps PayMaya and GCash.
