Overseas Filipinos can now Send Money to PH Thru GCash!
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder but in this age of
technology, all you need is a few taps on your mobile device to make your loved
ones feel cared for even if you are miles away.
Filipinos living and working abroad have a heartwarming tendency
to continue helping relatives back home - whether it’s sending them the
habitual balikbayan box filled with
canned goods, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, or fragrances or wiring funds to help
them with their daily expenses.
There is no doubt that opportunities abroad can grant overseas
Filipino workers better compensation and a better future, for themselves and
their families back home. But the sacrifices made to work overseas do not come
without a price; there’s an absence of physical presence, the children grow up
faster than expected, and special occasions such as birthdays and Christmases
will most likely be missed.
“We want to continue serving our kababayans and enabling them
wherever they are in the world. This is why we are constantly innovating to remove
barriers and simplify the use of GCash so that more Filipinos abroad can take
advantage of the app and its hassle-free features. We know being away from
family is difficult enough, so providing them with quality service via GCash is
our way to help ease their worries.” says GCash Chief Customer Officer Winsley
Bangit.
Thanks to GCash, parang nandyan ka lang! Filipinos abroad can
easily send love and support to their families in the Philippines as if they
never left. GCash offers a slew of services which help them to continue showing
their care and support wherever they are in the world:
1. Sending
money for FREE.
Sending money to people in the Philippines is now faster and easier,
especially for OFWs. By using GCash Send Money service in your app, your loved
ones will be able to receive funds in real-time and straight to their
GCash accounts for free. GCash users abroad can also take advantage of
easily funding their GCash wallets through Cash In channels, with global
remittance partners such as Remitly, Sendwave and Alipay available in 200+
countries worldwide which can be accessed online or through their
branches. Those abroad may also opt for the Bank Cash In option, where
users can link their Philippine bank accounts, either BPI or UnionBank,
and Cash In for free without leaving the GCash app.
2. Giving
support for everyday needs. Being able to communicate
through messaging is a commodity in this time and age. A perfect token to
send apart from monetary support, GCash users may also buy load for their
loved ones back home. With GCash, users can simply enter the recipient’s
number and buy telco, broadband and even lifestyle load for entertainment
and gaming needs.
3. Managing
finances for the future.
GCash is more than just a mobile wallet. It allows users to control and
grow their finances through various financial services, such as GSave, a
savings marketplace that allows users to open and access a savings account
through their GCash app. For instance, a user can open a BPI MySaveUp
account anytime, anywhere. They can also opt to open a savings account
with CIMB Bank and enjoy a high interest rate earning 2.6% base interest
rate annually with no minimum balance requirement.
Moreover, GCash also
offers GInvest, allowing people to grow their savings further by investing in
various funds for as low as P50.
4. Having
access to great deals and offers. Coined as the super life app, GCash has
GLife, a one-stop online shop in the app housing various lifestyle brands,
from gaming, to food, wellness, and many more. Aside from secured
transactions, GLife gives you the luxury of accessing shops and merchants
at once via GCash App without having to make various accounts and
switching apps. With this, you don’t have to miss out on celebrations back
home such as birthdays, graduation parties, or even a small get-together.
Simply head over to GLife and choose gifts that you can send home.
When it comes to
providing protection, having insurance also provides a sense of security. With
insurance policies often being too expensive, GCash has also introduced
GInsure. Filipinos living
abroad can rest easy knowing that with GInsure they can safeguard their
families back home against potential risks without putting a dent in their
budget. It offers various insurance packages from SingLife for as low as P79 a
month. Get coverage up to 750k with options to avail cover protection against
COVID-19, dengue or income loss due to accidents.
Filipinos abroad can access all these amazing features and more
by simply downloading the GCash app and registering using one Philippine ID to
verify and an active Philippine roaming sim. Through GCash, millions of
Filipinos can support their families in different ways at their fingertips.
