GCash will soon gain a feature that made Apple Pay and Google Pay popular.
President and CEO Martha Sazon told investors during its recent earnings briefing that GCash will soon have a feature called No Signal Pay.
Like Apple Pay and Google Pay, this new feature will allow users to make payments using their NFC-enabled phones just by unlocking them, even if they have a poor signal or no network access at all.
With this feature, GCash users now have a faster and easier way to make payments than scanning QR codes. Just make sure your GCash account has enough balance, unlock the device, tap it to the merchant’s terminal, and you’re good to go.
Users can also use it when commuting via MRT-3.
GCash hasn’t revealed when the No Signal Pay feature will be available. Hopefully it arrives right in time for the holiday season.
