GCash, the Philippines’ leading finance super app, doubles down on its
presence in Singapore as it can now be used as a cashless payment option in
both Alipay+ and Alipay China-enabled (AlipayCN) merchants.
This further expands GCash’s
availability in one of the most famous destinations in Southeast Asia. It has
already been accepted by Alipay+ merchants in 2022, but now GCash can also be
used to pay in select AlipayCN establishments. Some of these merchants include
7-Eleven, which has the largest convenience store network in the country at 450
branches; the largest orange juice vending machine operator, iJooz; the
exclusive distributor of duty-free cosmetic products, The Shilla Duty-Free; and
the largest taxi operator, ComfortDelGro taxis.
“GCash is committed to always being
there for our millions of users wherever they are here in the Philippines and
all over the world. Thanks to our global partner Alipay+, GCash users can now
go cashless in thousands more touchpoints in Singapore,” said Ren-Ren Reyes,
president and CEO of GCash mobile wallet operator, G-Xchange, Inc. (GXI).
Aside from expanding its
touchpoints, GCash is also making it rewarding for users to go cashless in
Singapore. When they use GCash to pay in 7-Eleven, iJooz, and hawkers like Lau
Pa Sat they can get PHP 85 off from their purchase. Likewise, users can enjoy
up to PHP400 off at ComfortDelGro taxi rides and their shopping at The Shilla
Duty-Free stores. To claim these vouchers, head on over to the GCash app and
tap the “A+ Rewards” button. In the dropdown button, select Singapore and
scroll down to select a voucher to purchase.

When paying for your purchases at
these destinations, be sure to look for the Alipay+ or AlipayCN logo at the
checkout. Open your GCash app and select the QR or PayQR button at the bottom
of the screen. Scan the merchant’s QR code, or tap “Pay Abroad with Alipay+ or
AlipayCN” to have the merchant scan your generated QR. Then, check the amount
and click “Pay” to see the receipt.
GCash is continuously expanding its
international footprint in partnership with Alipay+. Aside from Singapore, the
Philippine e-wallet can be used to pay in select Alipay+-enabled merchants
across Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Qatar, the United Kingdom, France,
Germany, and Italy.
“Our users can expect GCash to
further expand its global reach as we partner with more merchants in more
countries,” Reyes said.
The Philippine finance super app is
also making its services available to more Filipinos who live abroad as the
GCash app can now be used with international numbers in the US, UK, Canada,
Japan, Italy, and Australia.
