At its FutureCast 2024 event, GCash, the country's number 1 finance super-app launched its "Tap to Pay" NFC service for commutes.

GCash Tap-to-Pay

Finally, an easier way to pay for commutes!

This is one of the many services that the company earlier introduced to make managing paying for anything and managing our funds easier.

No fees are needed to use NFC for Tap-to-Pay payment for commutes

All you need to do is have a phone with a working NFC, make sure that your GCash app has enough funds, and tap it on supported terminals to pay for your fare.

GCash also promises that there are no requirements, no application forms, and no fees needed just to use NFC to pay.

With the help of this feature, commuters won't need to fall in line to buy cards and tickets just to pay for their fare. It'll make its users save time, especially during rush hours.

The service is expected to roll out on local train systems like MRT and LRT as well as other bus systems soon.

There is no exact launch date yet, so stay tuned.
