The digital lender GoTyme Bank has partnered with the Go family-led convenience store chain Uncle John’s. This expands the bank’s deposit and withdrawal footprint just as it hits the one million customer mark in less than a year from the start of its operations.
GoTyme account holders who require physical transactions may deposit and withdraw cash at any of Uncle John’s 340 branches nationwide, the bank said. Such transactions are efficient, free, and done and over with in two minutes.
“By providing seamless digital products and services supported by human touch, we deliver personal service with greater empathy. By revolutionizing the way we can bank in every corner, in every street, in every neighborhood, we bring GoTyme Bank closer and closer to you, with our human touch—just a few steps away from your doorstep,” Albert Tinio, GoTyme Bank co-CEO, said.
“We are very happy to have partnered with GoTyme Bank in bringing more convenient ways for their users to deposit and withdraw money. Now, you can easily access your funds and pay through your GoTyme Bank app with seamless convenience and effortless comfort. With this unique and growing partnership, preferred banking will always be at your fingertips or just around the corner,” Robinsons Supermarket Corp convenience store division general manager R. Suresh Ramalinggam said.
GoTyme Bank customers can also pay for purchases at Uncle John’s and other partner merchants with the app’s new “Pay with QR” feature.
