PayMaya upgrades feature use of artificial intelligence

The PayMaya digital wallet launched a new feature that allows users to submit "video selfies" to verify their identities and unlock upgrades. PayMaya upgrades include higher transaction limits, sending money to other PayMaya account holders, access to a virtual card for online transactions, exclusive perks and the ability to share and earn from referral codes. PayMaya said the feature was a first in the Philippines and would use artificial intelligence. "By employing the power of artificial intelligence to our upgrade process, we are able to help verify the documents and identities of our customers in a faster and more efficient way," Shailesh Baidwan, president of PayMaya Philippines and Voyager Innovations, said in a statement. "This makes the process of upgrading PayMaya accounts easier, allowing our customers to enjoy the best of what PayMaya has to offer," he added.
