GCash Card simplifies travel spending

For Filipino travelers out there, the GCash Card offers 0 percent foreign exchange fees, allowing you to have a good time and remain financially wise at the same time.

If you are using your card for your next trip, here are some hacks using the GCash Card:

• Beat the hidden FX fees - Many cards charge foreign transaction fees ranging from 1.7 percent to 3 percent per transaction. These fees may seem small but add up quickly. The GCash Card's 0 percent foreign exchange fees let travelers use their full trip budget instead of spending it on additional charges.
• Track expenses in real time - Travelers should set a daily budget and stick to it by assigning one card, such as the GCash Card, for their travel fund. Aside from 0 percent forex fees, the GCash Card allows real-time tracking and conversion through the GCash app, making it easier to stay on top of expenses daily. Losing track of spending can be the biggest travel expense, so planning a daily budget matters.
• Make group travel easier - Using the GCash Card for shared expenses lets the designated budget manager track every transaction through the GCash app's transaction history, making it easier to stay within budget while benefiting from 0 percent foreign exchange fees.

With the GCash Card's 0 percent foreign exchange fees, real-time expense tracking through the GCash app, seamless cashless payments, and worldwide ATM access, Filipino travelers can enjoy greater confidence wherever their journey takes them, GCash said.
