When thinking of traits that best describe
Filipinos, the words “generous,” “kind,” or “giving,” among others, often come
to mind.
True enough, the Filipino spirit of
thoughtfulness is heavily ingrained in our culture that we even created
traditions such as pasalubong or the act of bringing back home even
the smallest tokens for loved ones and friends. Celebrations such as birthdays,
anniversaries and any holiday imaginable get us excited because they signal
another opportunity to give gifts to each other.
Such generosity is just one manifestation
of how our culture values close ties with family and loved ones. It comes as no
surprise that wherever we go, we always think of ways to make those back home
feel loved and remembered.
These days, the act of sending money—be it
repaying a friend, giving a cash gift to a loved one or even just sending your
child’s daily allowance—has been made even more personal and memorable. GCash,
the country’s leading mobile wallet, takes the monotony out of an everyday task
such as sending money with innovative and creative Send Money options on the
app.
Users can now send money with a more
personalized touch with the added options to attach photos, videos or audio
messages through the Send with a Clip feature. Especially for those sending
money from miles away, the addition of a photo or short video makes the act
more heartwarming and exciting on the receiving end.
To celebrate special occasions such as
weddings, birthdays and Lunar New Year, GCash has also added an Ang Pao Send
Money feature. Users can send their best wishes to relatives and friends along
with a cash gift enclosed in a virtual version of the classic red envelope.
Sometimes, thoughtfulness also comes with
keeping the welfare and convenience of the receiver in mind. The Express Send
option on GCash is a quick, easy and fuss-free way to instantly send money to
someone in dire need. The Send to Bank feature also credits the amount directly
to the recipient’s bank account, enabling immediate withdrawal or use.
The great news is that GCash customers are
able to enjoy these features free of charge—instantaneously and with the same
ease as other GCash financial transactions and features.
Through such thoughtful innovations,
Filipinos all over the country and in other places abroad who may be separated
by miles can be brought together in celebrating small milestones through the
power of their mobile phones and e-wallets.
GCash, being the leader in the mobile wallet segment,
aims to continuously innovate and improve the user experience through these
value-added services and features.
