GCash, the mobile wallet of Globe Telecom, has partnered with IKON Manning Solutions, a talent-sourcing agency, to provide overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) with important digital financial services helping them support their families back home.
GCash and IKON together provide OFWs and their families a secure and convenient way to manage their finances while enjoying the app’s various services, including sending money to the Philippines, paying bills, purchasing mobile load and more.
As part of the partnership, GCash will also educate departing OFWs on the importance of digital proficiency and how to achieve their financial goals and support their family back home through the app.
Additionally, GCash and IKON will conduct a financial literacy program that effectively extends support to 2.33 million OFWs.
OFWs leaving for abroad may also access exclusive IKON services via the GCash app.
“We recognize the hard work and sacrifice of OFWs and their big contribution to our economy. Through our partnership, overseas Filipinos can find more career opportunities at IKON via the GJobs feature of the app,” Paul Albano, GCash International general manager, said.
“They can also access GLoans and experience more convenient transactions with the recruitment agency as one of its partner merchant billers,” he added.
Albano also said the partnership will allow users to access a wide digital library of relevant and informative content from IKON via the Pinoy Channel, from tips on adjusting to life while working abroad to financial management tips and helpful tailor-fit hacks for OFWs.
GCash is available in 16 countries where Filipinos may download and sign up for the GCash app with their local SIMs, namely the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Germany, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia. Soon, the service will be expanding to Kuwait, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and eventually more countries in the future.
