Filipino commuters can now enjoy easier, more convenient, and secure cashless transactions as #Angkas, the pioneer motorcycle ride-hailing app in the Philippines, teams up with #GCash as a direct payment option.
By linking their GCash wallet directly to the Angkas app, users can avoid the additional costs often associated with topping up their Angkas accounts from digital banking or e-wallet accounts.
Paying cashless on Angkas via GCash is quick and easy. Commuters simply need to:
- Tap “Cash” on the Angkas platform to change the mode of payment.
- Select “Link your GCash” to pay directly using the GCash wallet.
- Enter their mobile number, one-time PIN (OTP), and MPIN.
- Tap “Link.”
A pop-up will confirm the successful linking of the GCash wallet to the Angkas app, allowing users to enjoy a more convenient, secure, and cost-efficient way to pay for rides or deliveries.
GCash and Angkas remind users to never share their OTP and MPIN with anyone to ensure the security of their cashless transactions.
“As long-standing partners, especially during the pandemic, GCash and Angkas have strengthened their strategic collaboration, sharing the vision of providing Filipinos with better and easier daily transaction experiences,” said Ren-Ren Reyes, President and CEO of GCash mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc.
Angkas CEO George Royeca expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with other homegrown Filipino businesses, calling the partnership with GCash a “dream collaboration.” He added, “We’re always looking for ways to enhance our customer service, and partnering with GCash for secure cashless payments is a great solution. Nearly everyone uses GCash these days; it’s incredibly convenient for our riders and passengers. It removes the hassle of handling cash or looking for change.”
Previously, GCash and Angkas launched GCash In Express on the ride-hailing app. This feature allows users who rely on offline cash-in channels to top up their GCash wallets without leaving their homes by simply adding the request for GCash Cash In when booking an Angkas Ride, Angkas Pabili, or Padala service.
