Pay international merchants and more using the GCash VISA card.
GCash is an innovation in itself, allowing users to easily transfer funds from their account to another, either GCash to GCash or GCash to bank and vice versa. Even international money transfer services like PayPal can be integrated within GCash. This is why it’s a very convenient service to have.
But did you know that GCash has a VISA card? If you’re interested, read on to know how to get this card and use it on millions of merchants worldwide.
GCash Card Features
A GCash card is a physical card that helps you manage your GCash funds. Linking the GCash card and your GCash app is needed to activate the fund management. However, not all GCash services, such as GCredit and GGives, can be linked.
Anyway, the card is usable for payment at any 35.9 million merchants in 210 countries and 150 currencies. It’s a must if you like to travel overseas!
According to the official website, the GCash card has a NFC or Wave logo and a chip at the front. At the back, your card number, expiry date, virtual account number, and CVV2 are displayed. The Bancnet logo is also shown at the back.
Although any eligible user can get this card, only one GCash card is allowed per account. So, no secondary cardholder for any GCash account.
For GCash users who are also minors, the parent, legal guardian, or person who is exercising parental authority over them will be principally responsible for the account and wallet.
