Reichelle set up her own

Coins.ph Coins.ph is the best way to send money, pay bills, and load your phone ARCHIVE ‘No more lines’: How Reichelle set up her own payment center while working a 9 to 5 office job image Reichelle is the embodiment of the entrepreneurial Filipina - curious, passionate, and constantly on the lookout for new opportunities. Working as a PR assistant at a multinational in Taguig, she stumbled upon Coins.ph while looking for ways to earn extra income on the side. “I was curious about how I could run a payment center with just my phone,” she shares, “At first, I was just planning to use it for personal use - to pay my bills and buy load from time to time.” AN ON-THE-GO PAYMENT CENTER Reichelle came around when she found out that there was no minimum capital to get started. “I was surprised by how easy it was.” she says, “I just download the app, walk to a nearby bank branch to make a deposit, and then minutes later I see the money in my Coins.ph app.” She tried the service out by loading her own phone: ‘I got my load in less than a minute. I knew it was real!’ A few days later, Reichelle started offering her co-workers to pay their bills and load their phones, which they gladly accepted. “Good for them, hindi na sila lalabas sa traffic at pipila para lang mag-load o magbayad ng bills. I do it for them.” She makes 5% for every mobile top-up and P5 per bill, all of which are instantly credited to her wallet app once they have been processed: “Imbis na ikaw ang may charge sa bawat transaction, dito ikaw pa ang binabayaran.” CONVENIENCE FIRST Reichelle also talks about how the payment center has been a great help for her mom: 'My mom used to go out and commute a lot to pay all her bills,’ she says, “With this I can do everything from my phone, and my mom can have more free time.” When asked whether she values the earning or the convenience aspect more, Reichelle answers that it’s still the latter that gets her coming back to the service: “Credit cards, Meralco, PLDT, Maynilad - everything is in one place. I save a lot of time since I don’t have to line up for each one. It turned out to be more convenient for myself, my officemates, and my family.” Interested to try it out?
