GCash now connects to Google Pay!
The new service is in line with the recent launch of Google Wallet in the country.
This service applies to in-store purchases, online payments, and public transportation fares. The feature is rolling out gradually to selected users and will be fully available to all soon.
The integration uses tokenization, where merchants receive virtual card details instead of real ones, adding a layer of security. However, full benefits depend on merchants having NFC-enabled terminals.
How to link your GCash Account to Google Pay

- Ensure your GCash account is fully verified. You must be 18 years old and above.
- Make sure your GCash App and Google Wallet apps are updated to the latest version.
- Open the GCash app and tap your Profile icon.
- Select 'My Linked Accounts.'
- Choose 'Google Pay' and tap 'Add to Google Wallet.'
- Complete the verification and tap 'Next.'
- Grant permission to access Google Pay and select 'Continue.'
- You will be redirected to Google Pay, tap 'Add to Wallet.' Make sure to review the terms, and select 'Continue.'
- Google will check your account eligibility. (This may take some time.) Once verified, tap 'Accept' to agree to the issuer's terms.
- Important: Tap 'Not Now' when Google asks to 'Set Google Pay as your default.'
- Return to the GCash app for confirmation that the link is successful.
Make sure that your Android device has NFC or has NFC enabled for in-store use.
This integration of services should provide faster and more secure payments for GCash users.
