Leading mobile money provider GCash teamed up with the number one online mall Lazada to provide a more convenient way of checking out your shopping cart.
GCash users can now pay directly using their GCash wallet upon checking out. An existing user will just need to select GCash as the payment method, link their GCash-registered mobile number, and tap a button to confirm payment. The enrolled GCash account would then be saved as the primary payment method on future purchases, saving log-in times.
GCash App available at both Google Play Store and Apple App Store |
To put money on GCash, a customer can go visit over 16,000 nearby GCash Partner Outlets nationwide, like 7-Eleven, SM Business Centers, Robinsons Business Centers, Puregold, and Villarica Pawnshop branches, and tell the cashier to cash-in to their GCash account. Cashing-in to a GCash account is free. Once funded, customers can now shop and checkout at Lazada.
"Being able to shop online using the GCash App solves two problems, mainly providing access and convenience to consumers to shop online without a credit card, and enabling merchants to expand their consumer base and minimize risk on COD transactions," said Anthony Thomas, Mynt's President and CEO. "This goes back to our journey for financial inclusion. Now, no matter how small or big a Filipino is, he or she can enjoy Lazada goods and services via GCash," he added. Mynt is the operating company behind GCash.
