#GCash the premier finance app and the most extensive cashless ecosystem in the Philippines, has made it more convenient for Filipinos overseas to send money back home instantly via its network of over 70 official remittance partners.
Through global remittance service providers such as Western Union, Ria, Remitly, and MoneyGram, Filipinos abroad can securely transfer money directly to the GCash accounts of their families and loved ones. Additionally, GCash enables more Filipinos abroad to utilize the app anywhere they are, using their international or non-Philippine mobile numbers.
The expansion of GCash overseas provides both migrants and Filipinos abroad with enhanced control over their finances. While the free real-time money transfers offer recipients in the Philippines easy and hassle-free access to funds, GCash also enables app users overseas to pay bills—like utilities, taxes, and tuition—directly on the app. Filipinos abroad can also purchase load for people back home, ensuring families can stay connected effortlessly through messages and international calls, even from a distance.
“By extending GCash’s reach to more Filipinos abroad, managing finances has become more straightforward from afar. This aligns with our vision of financial inclusion for all Filipinos, regardless of their location worldwide,” states Ren-Ren Reyes, President and CEO of GCash mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc.
As the Philippines’ leading finance app, GCash has fully launched its global expansion following approval from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Filipinos in 16 countries—including 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 register and use the GCash app.
To use GCash outside the Philippines, simply download the GCash app on Google Play, App Store, or Huawei AppGallery with an active international SIM card. On the app, select the country, enter your mobile number, and provide essential personal information to register. Next, set your MPIN and proceed to log in. Prepare your valid ID, like your Philippine passport, for scanning to verify your account. Afterward, complete the facial verification via a selfie and provide additional information, then wait for the SMS confirmation. Upon receiving the confirmation, you may now enter your MPIN and use the app.
GCash continues to broaden its reach to make a significant impact in the lives of every Filipino worldwide—through secure and convenient digital financial services, and equal access to financial opportunities, anytime and anywhere.
