MANILA (UPDATE) - Smart money, the PLDT group&#x27;s first e-wallet app, is set for a relaunch.The Smart Money app has made an appearance on Apple&#x27;s App Store and Google&#x27;s Play Store recently, and the app can be downloaded and installed on both iOS and Android devices.Among the transactions featured on the app are &#x27;Mobile Load&#x27; and &#x27;Send Money.&#x27; There is also a feature for paying postpaid mobile, cable and internet, water, electricity, toll, and education fees. It also has a list of billers for these services.However, users can&#x27;t use the e-wallet app yet to do transactions. A message on the app says users still need to get on a waitlist to try Smart Money&#x27;s features.During an interview last November, Smart Communications COO Anastacio Martirez said he intends to retake market share from GCash.&quot;We were the first in the industry to introduce Smart Money, ahead of GCash,&quot; Martirez said.&quot;Somewhere along the way something happened but that’s not a problem. I’m back. I want to bring it back. I want to rebuild and I hope I can retake,&quot; he added.Smart Money was replaced by Paymaya, which was then rebranded to Maya, which is now a digital bank. ABS-CBN is contacting PLDT for more information, but the telco has yet to reply as of this posting.GCash, which is operated by PLDT&#x27;s rival Globe Telecom, currently dominates the e-wallet market in the Philippines.- With a report from Andrea Taguines, ABS-CBN News<div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TSPIFjfFvas?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>
