Grabs adds GCash to payment options

FRANCIS EARL CUETO

STARTING next week, mobile wallet GCash will now be available as a direct payment method under the Grab app platform.

GCash said that this will give Grab users access to cashless transactions as it will be officially available as a mode of payment on February 1.

Users need to simply choose GCash as their payment method, and pay cashless for GrabCar, GrabFood, GrabMart, GrabExpress and other Grab services. The partnership will prove beneficial for customers as it enables users to avoid transfer fees which go as high as P50.

“With this tie up with GCash, we once again realize our commitment to make the lives of Filipinos better each day by delivering a more convenient, secure and cost-efficient way to pay for their rides, and food and grocery deliveries. We look forward to this partnership and we will continuously innovate and build more partnerships that will improve the lives of the Filipinos,” Martha Sazon, GCash president and chief executive president, said.

“Grab Philippines is dedicated to empowering our stakeholders in a digital-first economy, and key to this is driving a deeper and wider cashless adoption in the country. With more Filipinos transacting via cashless means,” said Grace Vera Cruz, country head of Grab Philippines.

“We are accelerating our prospects of digital transformation. We look forward to collaborating with like-minded partners such as GCash on this agenda, and we are optimistic that through this partnership, we can improve the lives and livelihoods of many of our kababayans (countrymen), while building a cashless, digital-first economy for all Filipinos,” she added.

Grab is the leading ridehailing, food delivery and on-demand grocery delivery mobile platform in Southeast Asia.

Previously, GCash and Grab established a strategic collaboration but this was limited to allowing users of both apps to transfer money from their GCash account to their GrabPay wallet and vice versa.
