Greenhills going 100% cashless

Greenhills has been around for a few decades, and is already a part of the Filipino’s life, so we’re constantly striving to improve

ORTIGAS & Co. has partnered with GCash to make the 16-hectare Greenhills fullycashless.

In a statement on Tuesday, GCash said the partners will initially deploy QR code payment solutions to its tenants at Shoppesville and V-Mall.

The plan was part of Ortigas & Co.’s efforts to redevelop the estate.

“Part of this improvement is not only facilities-wise, but also improving the experience of our tenants. We think that them being able to accept cashless payments via GCash QR will bring more convenient and more efficient transactions. We’re looking forward to 100 percent of Greenhills being able to accept cashless payments,” Ortigas Malls head of leasing Cathy Duenas said.

“Greenhills has been around for a few decades, and is already a part of the Filipino’s life, so we’re constantly striving to improve. We’ve continued to redevelop the whole area to serve mallgoers and patrons better,” she added.

At present, Greenhills houses 2,000 tenants, a big chunk of which are small and stand-alone businesses.

“GCash’s vision is to have a cashless society leading to finance for all,” GCash president and chief executive officer Anthony Thomas said. “We’re very glad to support Greenhills’ drive towards cashless payments, and we’re looking forward to enabling more locations of this organization.”

Last year, Ortigas & Co. announced that it has set aside P60 billion for the transformation of Greenhills into a high-endcatered development. The completion was expected to double Greenhills’ total gross floor area to “half a million” square meters.

Apart from Greenhills, the property developer is also underway with the construction of Circulo Verde and the Ortigas East, formerly Frontera Verde.
