LYKA, come back!


A lot of the popular social media apps can be found on my phone. You name it, even the controversial app that is LYKA. 


What is LYKA? I first heard of LYKA from the groups I'm a part of. I became interested in it because of the many cool and amazing things they could do with it so I downloaded the app. It kinda looks like Instagram. As I was browsing through the app, I thought to myself that I might not be able to focus much on LYKA because I have lots of social media apps. I did not think much of it but then I saw a post from an ex-colleague and friend showing the grocery items that she was able to buy for free using LYKA gems (Giftcard Electronic Mode). She even paid her Meralco bill using LYKA gems. So I asked her how and she explained to me that every post she does, a comment she makes, and post she shares has equivalent points or gems that you can use as currency to buy goods, or pay at LYKAMALL, yes they have their mall that accepts gems! How cool is that! They have everything your family could look for. Groceries, books for kids, apparel, gadgets from brands like Apple, Sony, JBL, Samsung, Palladium, Philips ,TCL, LG, etc. You get to enjoy posting your photos, you get to have new friends, and you can earn gems from it!

All the talks about the app got me motivated in using it just like the social media apps I use. Just when I was just getting the hang of it, news broke out that the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas ordered to stop the operation of LYKA because they had to register as an operator of payment system (OPS). 

Registration is needed to ensure that the app functions safely, efficiently, and reliably by itself, consistent with the central bank's objectives of consumer protection and financial stability.

It was a relief to have been able to read an update from Rappler  "Lyka says it is 'continuously communicating' with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas regarding its operator of payment system or OPS application. "

LYKA has said that part of its intention is to register as an operator of a payment system so it can establish its Philippines operations and staff it with the best people available.

Users were also guaranteed by the social media platform that any duties and commitments made by DS to the, as well as their accreditation as a partner merchant, will be honored as quickly as possible.

Hoping that this happens soon because it has great reward system and benefits for its 10 million members. And I want to experience what my friends have from using LYKA, who wouldn't?
