GCash users can now go cashless in Europe, the mobile wallet announced Friday, June 9.

Europe’s top travel destinations, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy, now accepts GCash.

This cross-border service is part of the e-wallet’s partnership with Alipay+ for payment, as well as for real-time foreign exchange (forex) with no service fees.

Harrods, Liberty London, and Harvey Nichols in the UK; Printemps in France; Müller and dm-drogerie markt in Germany; as well as itTaxi, and IVS Group, the leader in the vending machines market, in Italy, are among the key merchants accepting GCash via Alipay+.

“To make our customers’ lives more convenient, we want to make sure they can maximize their GCash account wherever they are across the world," says president and CEO Martha Sazon.

"We look forward to expanding to other markets abroad soon and to partner with even more merchants in 2023,” she added.

Aside from the European destinations, the Philippine e-wallet can be used to pay in select merchants across Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Qatar.

GCash can likewise be used with international numbers in the US, UK, Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia.
