BCRemit, a Filipino-owned global fintech company, has teamed up with GCash to offer overseas Filipinos (OFs) a more convenient and secure way to send money back home. The collaboration, launched in February 2025, enables Filipinos in the United Kingdom, Spain, other European Union countries, and the United States to transfer funds directly to GCash accounts in the Philippines through the BCRemit app or website, available 24/7.
This development is expected to have a significant impact on remittance flows as the partnership provides a seamless and accessible service for Filipinos abroad supporting their families back home. BCRemit’s long standing reputation for fast, secure, and affordable money transfers—since 2015—is enhanced by GCash’s popularity as the go-to e-wallet in the Philippines, where over 81 percent of Filipinos are active users.
Oliver Calma, founder of BCRemit, expressed his excitement about the collaboration: “We are thrilled with our partnership with GCash. This alliance gives our customers in the UK, Spain, the EU, and the US direct access to GCash, aligning with our mission to use technology to improve financial inclusion for Filipino migrant workers and their families.”
GCash International general manager Paul Albano also highlighted the significance of the collaboration: “At GCash, we are dedicated to making financial services accessible to all Filipinos, regardless of their location. This partnership strengthens our ability to offer secure, affordable remittance solutions, enabling OFs to easily support their families back home.”
BCRemit’s competitive edge lies in its low remittance fees, starting at just GBP/USD/EUR 2.99, and its attractive exchange rates. The platform’s flexibility allows users to send funds at any time of day, offering them the convenience of 24/7 customer support.
With GCash boasting more than 5.2 million partner merchants and social sellers, the partnership positions BCRemit to cater to the growing needs of the OF community. By enabling seamless top-ups to GCash accounts, BCRemit further enhances the ease with which OFs can manage their finances and assist loved ones in the Philippines.
As the two companies continue to expand their reach, this collaboration is set to redefine the remittance experience for millions of Filipinos worldwide, marking a significant leap in global fintech innovation.
