As part of its partnership with AMTODA (Antipolo Market Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association) and ASCLP TODA, and with vendors at the Pasig City Mega Market, GCash introduced a safe and effective method of sending and receiving cash via mobile number.
The GCash QR saved the struggling tricycle drivers and vendors in Pasig City. In hopes to sustain their businesses even during the pandemic, the QR system was proven effective and efficient without breaching any heath protocols.
“At the heart of this program is financial inclusion. We envision to enable micro and small businesses with the digital finance platform so they can enjoy its benefits at a time when they need it most. Many of them are frontliners too. We should also focus on helping them by providing them with tools so they can continue growing their businesses and serving their customers during the pandemic,” says Martha Sazon, President and CEO of GCash.
GCash has been closely working behind the scenes with the AMTODA, which has over 500 members, to help drivers learn and maximize the features of GCash.
“Mas magandang paggamit ng GCash kasi kailangan nating umiwas sa pagkahawaan ngayong pandemya. Kaya mas komportable gumamit ng GCash para makaiwas tayo sa kumakalat na virus.”, said Antipolo TODA driver Zalde Guiruela
A textile store owner at the Pasig City Mega Market also agreed that that the use QR on Demand as a contactless way to safely and securely receive payment is better, “Nakakatulong siya, lalo na for transactions outside of the public market. Pag may mga tumatawag sa ‘kin para magpadeliver, usually hindi kami tumatanggap ng COD. Dahil sa GCash, ita-transfer na lang nila sa GCash ko yung payment.”
Having been empowered by the GCash platform, these small business owners and TODA drivers can now take advantage of the app’s financial services products such as savings, investment, insurance, and credit. Since most of these sellers and TODA drivers are financially underserved, it helps to manage their business in these challenging times just such as any other major merchant.
GCash has over 1,200 TODA drivers and over 100 palengke vendors on board as of this writing. To provide improved financial services to all sectors TODA drivers accept GCash as a form of payment. it is possible to pay using GCash in Farmers market and Pasig Mega.
