It's like that I want to wake up every morning and I want to eat McDonald's burgers and fries in my breakfast or a McDonald's spaghetti as my snack during my working hours. And with my busy schedule, I have no time going to the nearest McDonald's branch and buy there my food and go back home or to the office. Or if I order food, I have to reach my phone and call for a McDelivery over and over again. Its a time consuming for me but still a convenient way if we use the McDelivery, but now they made the McDelivery even better, with a stroke of a finger in our mobile phones and select an option in the end if we want that order every morning, all we have to do is click and send, and then let our bank account pay for the food we eat, sounds fun and hassle free, thanks to BPI-iCan Worldwide and McDonald's for this cashless food delivery service in the Mobile Mall of BPI.
The cashless food delivery system is developed by i-Can Worldwide, they specialize in mobile commerce and technologies and tie up with BPI 24/7 our largest bank and leader in electronic banking in our country as both party delivers the McDelivery in our mobile phones using the installed Mobile Mall application.This is a mark for BPI's 160th year and McDonald's 30th year here in the Philippines, making their services even more better for us.
McDonald's pioneered lots of services for their customers and this 2011, mobile payment and food ordering is another step of convenience and fast transaction without shelling out real money from our pockets and wallets. In 2004 McDonalds launched the 1st ever 24 hours branches, in 2009 they launched the 1st online ordering and delivery, and also 1st to have the no minimum order delivery. And for McDonald's 30th anniversary, they brought to us more hassle free transaction and made food more closer to us.

They will provide more covered cities in the future and also plans in having a credit card payment.
People outside the country can also order food for their loved ones and fiends who lives here in the Philippines, if they have a BPI account, they can now order food while they are in abroad and send McDonald's food as gift or thank you presents.

“For 30 years, McDonald’s has been committed in providing Filipinos with great-tasting affordable meals and excellent service. This 2011, McDonald’s once again strengthens this commitment to provide efficient and convenient service with another first- fast-food delivery through mobile. Partnering with BPI and i.Can to bring the first cashless mobile-based delivery, will surely provide our customers with their favorite McDonald’s meals, anytime, anywhere,” says Margot Torres, McDonald’s Vice President for Marketing and Communications.
I really like the mobile service that they offer to us and because of that I am no planning to open an account in BPI just to use their mobile mall services. BPI now also offer free sign ups and registration in their website, all you have to do is visit http://www.bpiexpressonline.com/
and then select your nearest branch in your area, and after a few days you can pick up your BPI card in your selected branch, just present a valid ID and a P500 that will be used in depositing it in your own personal account.
