GCash makes it easier for Filipinos abroad to instantly send money back home through its network of over 70 official remittance partners.
International remittances services like Western Union, Ria, Remitly, and MoneyGram enable Filipinos overseas to securely send money straight to the GCash accounts of their family and loved ones. Additionally, GCash now allows more Filipinos abroad to use the app wherever they are with their international or non-Philippine mobile numbers.
With the expansion of GCash overseas, both migrants and Filipinos abroad have better control over their finances. While the free real-time money transfers gives recipients in the Philippines convenient and hassle-free access to funds, GCash also allows app users overseas to pay bills—such as utilities, taxes, and tuition— directly on the app. Filipinos abroad can also buy load for people back home, so families can stay connected with ease through messages and international calls, even from afar.
“By making GCash accessible to more Filipinos abroad, managing finances is now easier from afar. This helps push our vision of financial inclusion for all Filipinos, wherever they may be in the world,” says Ren-Ren Reyes, president and CEO of GCash mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc.
GCash, as the Philippines’ top finance app, has fully expanded its international reach and fully launched its global push following the approval from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Filipinos in 16 countries—the US, Canada, Italy, the UK, Australia, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Qatar, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Spain, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Singapore—can now use international mobile numbers to sign up and use the GCash app.
