#gcash mastercard

GCash, Globe's own micropayment service, gives its reloadable prepaid card a needed upgrade. The new GCash MasterCard with EMV also comes with Beep for compatibility with Metro Manila's unified ticketing on major transportation systems. EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, the trio that created the standard but it's now managed and used by more major payment companies. The GCash MasterCard with EMV is available for Php150 while the added Beep feature will cost Php210. These new cards are already available through Globe stores with GCash booths. Several companies, including GCash, Visa, and Mastercard, have shown interest in the Philippine government’s plan to create a single fare payment system for trains and other transport. Aside from GCash, Visa, and Mastercard, other companies like Siemens Mobility, Hitachi Asia, LG CNS, and Cubic Transportation Systems also joined a market study held in Singapore. GCash announced today their partnership with Facebook to bring the famous virtual wallet into Messenger.
