GCash Launches New Service Across 21 Countries, Allowing Users to Purchase Mobile Credits from International Telco Providers (2024)

GCash to launch a new feature allowing users to purchase mobile credits from telco providers abroad

GCash, the leading mobile wallet app in the Philippines, has announced that it will soon be launching a new service that allows its users to purchase mobile credits from international telecommunications providers. This new offering will be available to GCash users across 21 countries, including Egypt, Ghana, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, Vietnam, Yemen and Zambia.

The beta testing of the service is expected to start soon, with a full launch slated for the latter part of 2023. The new feature will provide GCash users with access to 48 international telecommunications providers, enabling them to buy prepaid load for their family members and friends located anywhere in the world.

This new offering is similar to GCash's existing "buy load" feature, which allows users to purchase mobile credits from local telecommunications providers. With this new service, GCash aims to provide its users with a more convenient way to stay connected with their loved ones and business partners abroad.

"Our new feature allows Filipinos to easily access international telecommunications providers and buy prepaid load for their family members to help them stay connected wherever they are in the world," said GCash President and CEO, Martha Sazon.

GCash's move to expand its services to include international telecommunications providers is a significant step towards meeting the growing demand for global connectivity. As more people work remotely and do business across borders, staying connected has become more critical than ever. With GCash's new offering, users can now enjoy the benefits of global connectivity at their fingertips.
