These include Filipinos with informal sources of incomes like freelancers and independent professionals as well as micro and small enterprises,\u201d said Ren-Ren Reyes, president and CEO of G-Xchange, the mobile wallet operator of GCash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the new GCash Card, more Filipinos, especially those busy with the daily hustle, can have access to another cashless payment option which they can use for their everyday expenses like groceries, restaurants, and transportation. The GCash Card can be used by customers to shop securely online on their favorite websites and apps. They can also use the card in physical retail stores simply by tapping or inserting the card in terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe new card powered by Visa unlocks more payment options for GCash users as they can use it at over 100 million merchants in the Philippines and across the world,\u201d noted Reyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any fully verified user can now order their own GCash Card powered by Visa through the app, without additional documents or approvals. The launch of GCash Card\u2019s aim is \u201cDahil Kaya All with the Card for All\u201d, providing Filipinos with numerous benefits similar to those enjoyed by those with bank accounts, such as quick ATM withdrawals locally and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Powered by Visa\u2019s global reach, the card can also be used for payments overseas in over 200 countries and territories, at over 100 million merchants. This gives traveling GCash Card users and overseas Filipinos another secure and convenient way of paying abroad \u2013 whether it be in restaurants, hotels, retail shops, convenience stores, ride-hailing apps and other transport services, as well as other merchants who accept Visa as payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeff Navarro, Visa\u2019s Country Manager for the Philippines and Guam, said, \u201cWe are very happy to partner with GCash to provide the GCash Card to Filipinos, which paves the way to better financial inclusion. With the card\u2019s contactless capability, it enables Filipino shoppers, especially those who don\u2019t usually pay with cards, to shop conveniently and securely, joining millions around the world who have been tapping to shop, dine, and travel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users who have availed of the GCash Card will also have access to GInsure, where they can get free insurance of up to Php20,000 coverage for unauthorized transactions for the first 30 days after activation. This also includes the Php185 price for card replacement in the event of accidental loss or damage to the card, as well as the shipping fee of up to Php225.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To order, users can open their GCash app, go to \u201dView all\u201d, and find the \u201cManage\u201d section. Click on \u201cCards\u201d and tap \u201cOrder a GCash Card\u201d.
