Through their collaboration with Alipay+, GCash users can now opt for a hassle-free, cashless payment method on their next Euro trip as the e-wallet is now accepted in Europe’s top travel destinations, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy.
In order to provide customers with a seamless and secure payment experience as well as real-time FX without a service cost, the e-wallet’s interaction with and relationship with Alipay+ have been reinforced. This prompted the development of this international payment service.
Harrods, Liberty London, and Harvey Nichols in the UK, Printemps in France, Müller and dm-drogerie markt in Germany, itTaxi, and IVS Group, the market leader in vending machines, in Italy are a few well-known businesses and retailers that accept GCash via Alipay+.
“In line with our fervent commitment to make our customers’ everyday lives better and more convenient, we want to make sure that they can maximize their GCash account not only locally but wherever they are across the world. We look forward to expanding to other markets abroad soon and to partner with even more merchants in 2023,” said Martha Sazon GCash president and CEO.
Look for the Alipay+ emblem at the checkout while making your purchases at these locations. Select the QR or PayQR button at the bottom of the screen when your GCash app is open. Tap “Pay Abroad with Alipay+” to have the merchant scan your created QR, or scan the QR code displayed by the merchant. Once the payment has been verified, click Pay to view the receipt.
As a result, when buying abroad, there is no need to exchange money or bring cash. Simply use the GCash Scan-to-Pay option while making purchases with the GCash app for a seamless and uncomplicated travel experience.

In cooperation with Alipay+, GCash is continually extending its global payment touchpoints. In addition to accepting payments in certain locations in Europe, the Philippine e-wallet can also be used in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Qatar.
Additionally, by allowing usage of the GCash app with foreign numbers in the US, UK, Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, it is expanding the reach of its services to more Filipinos around the world.
