The Philippines' top finance super app GCash recently debuted its stronger international services at the Singapore Fintech Festival 2023.

In a panel discussion of the annual gathering, GCash president and CEO Martha Sazon unveiled a new feature in the app where users can view real-time foreign exchange rates in select countries such as Singapore, Japan and the USA.

"Through GCash services, Filipino travelers as well as those who live and work overseas can enjoy the same benefits as those who own credit cards and bank accounts.

They can use the app to pay in stores and establishments that accept Alipay+ or accept card transactions," Sazon said.

GCash has been growing its reach beyond Philippine shores through its partner, global payments giant Alipay+, by allowing travelers to use the e-wallet for cashless transactions in 17 countries such as Singapore, Japan and the USA.

It has enabled users overseas to sign up for GCash using international mobile numbers in six countries such as the USA, Italy and Japan.

Through its partnership with Visa, GCash users can make cashless transactions with over 80 million merchants across 200 countries. Customers can order the new GCash Card via the app.

Aside from that, they can pay with GCash in establishments that accept Alipay+ by either scanning their QR codes or generating a code.

GCash is a leader in e-wallet and digital financial services for Filipino consumers. On top of its international expansion, the fintech company has begun beefing up its services for enterprise customers.

"I think to really transform the nation, we start playing in the B2B space. We can't just be one of the players, we need to really address the pain points and the friction that's in the B2B space to make it a more meaningful play for us," Sazon pointed out.
