Grab and SM Investments Corporation has announced a partnership that will expand the GrabPay mobile wallet in the Philippines. Grab users can soon load their GrabPay mobile wallet directly from BDO bank accounts, BDO ATMs, SM Business Centers and 2GO’s retail network. Consumers can soon top-up their GrabPay wallet all across the Philippines, with these new top-up channels adding to a rapidly growing network that includes banks, convenience stores, cards and wallets, and driver-partners. • Greater benefits to both customer bases: Dedicated Green Lanes will also be set-up for GrabPay users in SM establishments. These are express checkout counters that will allow GrabPay users to skip the regular payment queues. GrabPay and SM support the goal of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in transitioning 20% of all transactions into cashless by 2020. Grab resumes its 24/7 operations in Metro Manila and select provinces to strengthen public transportation amid the pandemic. Grab previously implemented earlier operating hours with drivers accepting passengers only up to 12 AM as compliant with the government guidelines for curfews and lockdowns.
