GCash, Viamericas: Real-Time OFW Remittances

GCash, the Philippines’ leading finance app and largest cashless ecosystem, has joined forces with Viamericas, a leading licensed money transmitter in the United States, to enable real-time remittances from overseas Filipinos in North America directly to their loved ones’ GCash accounts in the Philippines.

Paul Albano, GCash International General Manager, emphasized that this partnership aims to deliver fast, secure, and convenient financial services for Filipinos abroad and their families back home.

“The partnership between Viamericas and GCash empowers OFWs in these locations to send secure and fast remittances to their loved ones back home. This collaboration enhances financial control for OFWs and strengthens connections with their families, making the remittance process easier than ever,” he said.

Joseph Argilagos, Viamericas’ Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, highlighted how this collaboration expands their services in the Philippines by integrating with GCash.

“This partnership perfectly aligns with our mission to empower communities by providing accessible, affordable, and reliable financial services,” he noted.

With multiple Viamericas locations across North America, sending money has never been more convenient for Filipinos in the region. Through GCash’s seamless digital platform, overseas workers can now transfer funds quickly and hassle-free, ensuring their families receive financial support instantly.

Today, 81% of Filipinos own a GCash account, giving them access to a wide range of financial services. The app connects users to over 5.2 million QR merchants and social sellers, 339,000 Cash-In/Cash-Out outlets, and 520 GLife partner merchants, making it the go-to platform for digital financial transactions.
