(SPOT.ph) UPDATE: Time to crack open those piggy banks—Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has deployed more Coin Deposit Machines (CoDMs) across Luzon so more Filipinos can turn their loose change into e-wallet credits, now including Maya, or even shopping vouchers.
BSP launched this initiative to promote coin circulation in the country while allowing Filipinos to turn their idle money collecting dust at home into virtual money or vouchers they can use for shopping and other needs.
Among the new features of the machine: Credit can be deposited into your GCash or Maya wallet, and the shopping voucher option is only available in machines located at SM and Festival Mall. These vouchers may be used in any SM Stores nationwide.
