Lawson is one of the top three convenience store chains in Japan, although it actually originated in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio as a milk store. Started by James "J.J." Lawson in 1939, Lawson Milk Company was bought out by Consolidated Foods in 1959 and its convenience stores became a fixture in Ohio neighborhoods until the 1980s.
On the other hand, in 1974, a retail company in Japan signed a deal with Consolidated Foods (now Sara Lee) to bring Lawson to Japan. The first store opened in Sakurazuka, Toyonaka, Osaka Prefecture in June 1975 and the rest is proverbial history.
In the Philippines, Lawson is a new presence. It opened its first branch only in 2014, but that didn't stop the brand from providing the same quality service its parent company is known for. Aside from convenience store staples like snacks and beverages, Lawson also has a wide array of filling meals and desserts at affordable price tags.
With plans to open at least 500 stores in the country by 2024, Lawson is ready to deliver its brand of quality service to more Filipino.
Lawson Philippines offers a wide variety of convenience store staples to its customers. They also have Lawson Lunchbox Originals, a version of combo meals that feature simple but filling food. The
Lawson Superbowl includes one piece each of bacon, crispy burger, and shanghai roll, plus four pieces of siomai. Meanwhile, the Busolb Box is their version of a rice meal, featuring viands like Asian pork stew, beef pares, pork binagoongan, shawarma, and sisig.
Apart from these, Lawson also has True Bew hot and cold beverages, house blended drinks, and a wide array of snacks and various products.
Lawson branches also accept provide money transfers, bills payment, and electronic prepaid loading services. Certain branches also have kiosks that allow customers to add money to their Maya account. Make sure that you have the latest version of the Maya app and follow the steps on the screen to cash in and enjoy a new level of convenience!
You've got questions? We've got answers.
Cashing in via Lawson is as convenient as the place itself. It involves logging into your PayMaya account, inputting the Add Money Code sent to your mobile device, and heading down to your nearest Lawson branch. It’s that simple! After you’ve cashed in your money, you can enjoy sending money to your loved ones, shopping online, and paying your utilities through the app.
A 2% cash in fee is deducted from your account each time you cash in via our over-the-counter cash in partners. However, this only applies to PayMaya account holders who have surpassed their Php 10,000 monthly threshold. Those who are under the threshold won’t be charged with the 2% cash in fee.
The cash in fee serves as the processing fee for transactions done via our over-the-counter cash in partners. Keep in mind that the cash in fee will be reflected in your account only if you’ve surpassed your monthly Php 10,000 threshold.
PayMaya also encourages the use of our digital payment options, as well as other cashless banking solutions. Going cashless and banking online will help you avoid having to handle physical cash and go to face-to-face transactions.
You won’t have any problems cashing in through Lawson. Just follow these simple steps and the amount you’ve cashed in will be instantly credited to your PayMaya account:
The 2% cash in fee will be deducted from the total amount of money you cashed in. If you input Php 1,000, for example, only Php 980.00 will be credited to your account. This is because 2% of Php 1,000 is Php. 20.00, so it’ll be deducted accordingly through the transaction.
Php 1,000.00 x 2% = Php 20.00
Php 1,000 - 20 = Php 980.00
Cash in fee deductions, however, will only be reflected on your account if you have surpassed your Php 10,000 monthly threshold. You are eligible to receive a refund via PayMaya refund if your account hasn’t exceeded the threshold.
To check if the right amount has been deducted from your account, you can log in to your PayMaya account and check your activity list. After the transaction is completed, you’ll receive an update, which you can view by checking the received money and cash in fee section from your transactions.
You are eligible to receive cash in rebates and refunds only if your account hasn’t exceeded the Php 10,000 monthly threshold. Rebates and refunds also only count if the transaction was completed through PayMaya cash in partners that charge cash in fees.
