GCash-NoypiGeeks-2899

GCash, the leading e-wallet in the Philippines, has partnered with Ria Money Transfer to provide international remittances for Filipinos abroad. 

This strategic partnership between GCash and Ria will allow remittance services for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) in the US, Australia, Singapore, and Europe to remit money to GCash wallets even without a GCash overseas account.

Ria Money Transfer is a global financial service provider specializing in money remittances, with a wide network of over half a million locations across 160 countries, making them a perfect partner for GCash to help more OFWs send money to their families back home.

“We’re continuing to strengthen partnerships around key corridors so we can help Filipinos wherever they may be. We are also strengthening our presence in Ria money transfer stores all over the world as a sign of our commitment to grow with Ria,” stated GCash International General Manager Paul Albano.

Steve Peregrino, Ria’s Regional Director of Business Development, reciprocated by saying, “Our shared goal is to bridge the distance between Filipinos across the globe and simplify their financial transactions.”

GCash’s active push for its operation overseas significantly supports the Philippine economy by providing Filipinos everywhere with more access to affordable money remittances.
