GCash, the Philippines’ leading finance super app, has teamed up with CARD Indogrosir, a hybrid local retail chain that serves both retail shoppers and wholesale clients. Through this partnership, GCash is rolling out SoundPay devices across all CARD Indogrosir stores, enabling faster and more efficient transactions.
Powered by a compact device that emits a distinct audio cue upon successful payment, SoundPay allows merchants to confirm transactions instantly—no need to check phones or ask for screenshots. This scan-to-pay system is especially valuable in areas with limited connectivity, where reliability and speed are essential.
These devices are already available in 29 CARD Indogrosir branches, with plans to add 44 more before the year ends, and expand the rollout to a total of 200 stores by next year.
For GCash users, SoundPay offers a more intuitive, secure, and modern payment experience. For merchants, it streamlines operations, minimizes delays, and supports smoother interactions with both bulk buyers and walk-in customers.
By integrating SoundPay into CARD Indogrosir’s retail network, GCash is helping more businesses adopt digital payments with confidence and ease.
"This partnership is about meeting users where they are and making payments work better for everyone. SoundPay brings speed, simplicity, and trust to everyday transactions," said Jong Layug, group head of GCash for Business.
“At CARD MRI, we believe that inclusive growth begins with empowering the smallest entrepreneurs—our sari-sari store owner members. Through our partnership with GCash and SoundPay, we are not only modernizing payments but also creating opportunities for every member of the CARD community and the general public to grow, compete, and thrive,” said Frederick Torres, EVP of CARD Indogrosir.
As SoundPay continues its rollout, GCash remains at the forefront of building financial systems that are not only innovative but also inclusive—enabling merchants and customers to transact with greater ease, trust, and relevance, one tap at a time.
CARD Indogrosir is a joint venture between CARD MRI—the largest microfinance institution in the Philippines—and Indonesia’s Indogrosir under the Salim Group. Founded in 2023, it aligns with CARD MRI’s mission to help eradicate poverty in the country by supporting Filipino micro-retailers with access to wholesale pricing, logistics solutions, and essential financial services—making it a strategic partner in GCash’s push for inclusive innovation.
