GCash teams up with DT One to roll out feature that allows sending load to international number

GCASH, the mobile wallet of Globe, teamed up with DT One, a leading global digital transfer solutions provider, to roll out an international feature that will allow Filipinos to send and buy load from 21 countries for their relatives abroad.

GCash will be the first e-wallet in the country to introduce the feature which will be under beta mode for a limited time. Similar to the existing buy load feature on the app, the international load feature allows users to buy load for an international number.

“With this feature, Filipinos can easily access 48 international telecommunications providers and buy prepaid load for their family members to help them stay connected wherever they are in the world,” GCash president and chief executive Martha Sazon said.

The service will be available in 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.

GCash said the full launch is expected in the latter part of 2023.

Overseas Filipino workers in the US can also buy load for themselves and access other GCash services on the GCash app. GCash is accessible in other territories such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy.

“It is GCash’s mission to make the lives of the Filipinos better every day and this is not only for our local users but extends to their families no matter where they may be in the globe. We recognize the sacrifices our OFWs had to endure to give a better future to their families,” Sazon said.

“That’s why recently, we have been doubling up our efforts to improve their connection to their loved ones in the Philippines. GCash will continue to innovate and improve our services for our modern-day heroes,” she said.

GCash has 79 million registered users that can easily purchase prepaid airtime; pay bills at over 1,600 partner billers nationwide; and send and receive money anywhere in the Philippines.
