GCash Introduces 'Tap to Pay' Feature for More Convenient Transactions

GCash, the digital payment platform operated by Globe Telecom, has launched a new feature called 'Tap to Pay'. This innovative service aims to provide users with a more convenient way to complete transactions, utilising near-field communication (NFC) technology.

To use the 'Tap to Pay' feature, customers simply need to open the GCash app on their NFC-capable Android phone and hold it near the payment terminal. The app will prompt for permission to use the phone's NFC feature. After receiving an in-app confirmation, the 'Tap to Pay' service will be ready to use.

Ferdie Perez, Product Innovation Head at GCash operator G-Xchange Inc., stated that the Tap to Pay feature is designed to offer users a wider range of payment options. He added that the feature is compatible with Mastercard-enabled terminals, enabling users to pay at various locations both in the Philippines and overseas, thanks to GCash's partnerships with Alipay+ and Mastercard.

One of the key benefits of the 'Tap to Pay' feature is its simplicity. It does not require a signature or PIN, making the transaction process quick and hassle-free. The event to launch the new feature included interactive segments related to purchasing decisions to highlight the new payment method's ease of use.

Customers interested in enabling the 'Tap to Pay' feature can do so by logging into the GCash app and selecting the 'Tap to Pay' option on the home screen. With this new feature, GCash continues to lead the way in digital payment innovation, offering users a more convenient and efficient way to manage their finances.
