Users of mobile wallet GCash can now make cashless transactions with over 80 million merchants across 200 countries, through its partnership with Visa.
Customers can order the new GCash Card via the app and pay with GCash in establishments that accept Alipay+ by either scanning their QR codes or generating a code.
GCash debuted its stronger international services recently at the Singapore Fintech Festival 2023.
In a panel discussion of the annual gathering, GCash president and CEO Martha Sazon unveiled a new feature in the app where users can view real-time foreign exchange rates in select countries, such as Singapore, Japan, and the USA.
“Through GCash services, Filipino travelers as well as those who live and work overseas can enjoy the same benefits as those who own credit cards and bank accounts,” she explained.
Through its partner, global payments giant Alipay+, travelers can use the e-wallet for cashless transactions in 17 countries such as Singapore, Japan, and the USA.
Overseas users can sign up for GCash using international mobile numbers in six countries, from the USA and Italy to Japan.
On top of its international expansion, the fintech company has begun beefing up its services for enterprise customers.
“To transform the nation, we start playing in the B2B space,” Sazon noted. “We can’t just be one of the players, we need to address the pain points and the friction that’s in the B2B space to make it a more meaningful play for us.”
Aside from providing digital financial tools for enterprise clients, GCash also offers partner marketing solutions to businesses, both big and small, leveraging the app’s reach.
