Bench Group to accept GCash payment
The Bench and Suyen Global Brands will expand the use of GCash scan to pay feature to include all of its retail outlets and its other brands nationwide by midJanuary, to make shopping more convenient and secure.
By simply scanning the GCash QR (quick response) codes present in the stores, GCash users can pay for any item at Bench and at least 39 other affiliated brands which include Paul Smith, American Eagle, The Face Shop, Aldo, Assembly, Aldo Accessories, Bench Body, Bench Fix Salon, Bench Kiosk, Bobbi Brown, Call It Spring, Cotton On, Cotton on Kids, Cath Kidston, Charles and Keith, Dimensione, Estee Lauder, Fox, Her Bench, Human, Jo Malone, Kashieca, La Senza, Maisen, Multibrand, Marugame, Mothercare, Origin, Pablo, Pedro, Paul, Personal Exchange, Repetto, Rubi, Skin Expert, St. Marc, Typo, Under Armour and Vero Moda.
Aside from the convenience of shopping without carrying cash, GCash users can enjoy a 30 percent cashback of up to P500 until January 31 this year when they scan to pay with GCash in Bench and all of its other brands.
“GCash is here to ensure that customers are given the convenience and security they deserve when paying for goods and services. With the GCash scan to pay feature, anyone with a GCash account and smartphone can easily pay the exact amount using their phone. There is no longer any need to wait for loose change or pay in smaller denominations, or even stand in line for a long time,” said Ernest Cu, President and CEO of Globe Telecom.
Using the GCash scan to pay feature is simple. With their iPhone or Android smartphone, customers only need to download or update to the latest version of the GCash App, register for an account, and then fund their GCash wallets at any of the more than 12,000 GCash Partner Outlets nationwide, including Globe Stores, Puregold branches, SM Business Centers, Robinsons Business Centers, 7-Eleven Barcode and Cliqq kiosks, TouchPay kiosks and pawnshops such as Cebuana Lhuillier, Villarica and Tambunting. Once it’s done, customers will simply tap on the Scan QR, point a phone’s camera at the partner’s QR code, and pay.
