(Jas Santos, a former manager for retail stores in one of the country’s biggest malls has successfully ventured into online business selling brand new and pre-owned bags, shoes, and beauty products. Just recently, Jas has become a victim of cybercrime. Here’s her story.)
I have been into online selling since 2013 and I love how online banking has revolutionized internet-based businesses. It made the lives of thousands of online sellers like me a lot easier. It also transformed online transactions to be more convenient to millions of buyers. While before, I need to go to the nearest ATM to check if my buyers have indeed paid for their purchases, now, all I need to do is check my online banking app and see in real-time if payments have been made. I could then send the items via their preferred courier the transaction started and ended without me leaving the comfort of my home.
