I always consider myself an early adopter of technology stuff. Who can still remember signing-up for their Payoneer accounts, long before GCash came as a household name in the fintech space? I can still vividly remember receiving my very first Payoneer debit card from a website advertiser more than a decade ago.

With recent economic changes driving new market behaviors, both businesses and private individuals adapt by exploring online commerce opportunities in the “new normal”. More and more Filipinos embrace contactless payment options as part of physical distancing measures and other safety protocols during this pandemic.

Payoneer has just launched its partnership with GCash aimed to gear up local MSMEs (micro, small, and medium enterprises) in accessing improved financial solutions by providing an avenue for smoother and more convenient online transactions.

Starting 30 September 2020, Payoneer users will be able to access their remittances anytime, anywhere, by simply linking their accounts directly to GCash. With over 20 million GCash users and 63,000 partner merchants, Payoneer users can now enjoy innovative ways to pay bills, shop, dine, and more, as they experience the features that come with GCash, the country’s leading mobile wallet.

MSMEs and BPO workers, being key drivers in promoting market resilience, now have Payoneer and GCash to provide them with convenient and efficient financial solutions is one step further in streamlining digital commerce and powering their growth.

“At Payoneer, our work is to encourage businesses to defy limits by making cross-border payments more inclusive. Now that new lifestyles and habits emerge, we cater to our ever-evolving market by growing our services in partnership with GCash, allowing Filipinos to have more financial mobility, simply and safely from the convenience of their phones,” according to Miguel Warren, Payoneer’s Regional Head of South East Asia and Pakistan, and General Manager – Hong Kong.
