Globe Mobile Users Can Access GCash App Even Without Load

With the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) still in effect especially in Metro Manila, most of the population is now turning to digital finance and e-wallets such as GCash. In line with this, Globe mobile users can now access GCash even without load, they can use the app free of data charges.

Having an e-wallet is beneficial especially now that we are i quarantine. Paying bills or transferring money to loved ones is easy and fast, and you don't need to go out. This is practicing social-distancing at its best. Also, the idea of going back to our normal lifestyle pre-Covid19 is still in limbo and may not happen for maybe 1-2 years as per WHO. It is then encouraged that we turn to digital technologies for our daily needs, and mobile payments is surely a part of this "new" normal thing.

"Our goal has always bee to provide finance for all, and by offering GCash app access with no data charges to Globe customers, we are empowering close to 90 million Filipinos to join the financial landscape, which is highly needed during these challenging times," said Pebbles Sy, GCash Chief Technology and Operations Officer.

With this unexpected pandemic, the adoption of digital technology accelerated here in the Philippines. There's also an increased reliance of the internet especially online shopping.
