PRESS RELEASE
Gen Z star Belle Mariano has a money tip for her millions of followers across TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook.
Having started working at just nine years old, Belle knows the value of hard work and the importance of being smart with money.
At 23, she has embraced a cashless lifestyle with BDO Pay, which helps her plan and monitor her spending.
The app has made it easy for her to:
- Pay bills to over 1,800 billers with no fees
- Scan to pay at thousands of stores nationwide
- Send money instantly for free to BDO accounts, or for just PHP10 to other banks and e-wallet
- Split bills effortlessly with friends and family
“Convenience is everything," she exclaims.
"Because, you never know, what if maiwan natin yung wallet natin sa car or bahay?
“But with BDO Pay, there’s no need to worry. It’s just a quick tap or scan.
"It’s all in there—you have that access and convenience, that anywhere you go, your wallet is accessible on BDO Pay.”

BELLE MARIANO ON no CASH-IN FEATURE
Beyond her wallet, her bank accounts and credit cards have also become more accessible.
She can easily scan, send, and pay using any of her cards—all without needing to cash in first.
This feature, she says, was the one thing that truly sold her on the app.
"You don’t need to cash in. It’s linked directly to your choice of BDO account or credit card. You don’t have the hassle of, oh my gosh, kailangan ko pa mag-cash in.
"It’s convenient to bring everywhere, and that’s what makes it easier for Gen Zs like me.”

Her only indulgence is treating herself—but she does so with care.
She says: “It’s nice that we’re spending for ourselves and treating ourselves every once in a while.
"But dapat we know when to stop.
"Gen Zs are lucky to have guidance from our parents and mentors, so we should listen to their advice.”
And if she ever has any problems with the app, she can visit any of over 1,200 BDO branches nationwide for face-to-face customer service or contact BDO’s 24/7 customer assistance hotline for any concerns.
This gives her confidence that her money is secure, backed by the country’s largest bank.
