GCash has partnered with key financial institutions, insurance companies, and government agencies to boost the impact of its services to Filipinos.
Recently, GCash collaborated with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)’s Social Amelioration Program (SAP), utilizing the e-wallet app for disbursements.
More than 2 million recipients were able to benefit from over PhP 16 billion distributed using GCash.
GCash has also partnered with BPI, ATRAM, CIMB, and Ant Group Financial to cater to the population’s need for more accessible financial services.
Moreover, GCash is also working with insurance providers to help MSMEs and offer them convenient digital business solutions.
More services will soon be launched on the app too to add to GCash’s existing products and services.
These strategic partnerships come on the heels of GCash’s 66 million subscriber milestone, adding 6 million more from Q1 2022 to Q2 2022.
