Suy Sing partners with Fuse, the lending arm of GCash, to expand credit access and empower small business owners nationwide

 To strengthen and accelerate the growth of grassroots businesses, Suy Sing Commercial Corporation, one of the country’s leading wholesale grocery suppliers, has partnered with Fuse Financing Inc., the lending arm of GCash. This collaboration aims to serve micro and small businesses such as independent supermarkets, mini-marts, groceries, drugstores, bakeshops, and more. Through this partnership, Fuse Financing Inc. provides small business owners with easier financing solutions via GGives for Business.




SuySing partners with Fuse, the lending arm of GCash, to expand credit access to small business owners, supporting their financial capital needs and business growth opportunities.




This provides business owners with access to zero-interest loans, helping them finance their expansion, strengthen operations, and grow their inventory. By supporting these essential community retailers, the initiative contributes to the broader economic well-being of local neighborhoods across the Philippines.

Across the Philippines, small businesses like community groceries continue to thrive despite the dominance of large conglomerates and retail giants. These businesses serve as the backbone of communities, providing convenient access to daily essentials while creating livelihood opportunities and keeping local commerce alive. However, access to financial capital to expand and grow their businesses often remains challenging. 


Recognizing their crucial role in economic growth, Fuse launched GGives for Business, a financing solution designed to provide fair and transparent access to working capital. By partnering with Suy Sing, Fuse can offer digital credit loans to community groceries and other small business owners with little or no credit standing, helping them restock and maintain operations for their businesses. This partnership is part of GCash’s broader mission to bring financial inclusion to underserved Filipinos.


“GGives for Business is a commitment to financial inclusion. By enabling access to working capital, we hope to empower small business owners to keep their shelves stocked and their businesses thriving. Our collaboration with Suy Sing allows us to reach these communities more effectively,” Fuse CEO Anthony Isidro said.


Under the program, eligible store owners can access loans starting at ₱3,000 with a zero interest rate and minimal processing fees. Additionally, its loan terms are designed to provide more flexibility, with 7 or 14-day options to help business owners better manage their inventory cycles and cash flow. For many, this is their first step into formal credit, making their growth and stability more accessible than ever. 


The partnership was formally launched at the Suy Sing Suki Event Convention last May 4, an annual gathering of the company’s partner retailers. This strategic rollout taps into Suy Sing’s established network, making it easier to identify and reach store owners who will benefit from the program. 


"Having access to formal credit will boost not only the business operations of our retailers but also their morale. This partnership with Fuse is more than just access to financing; it is a way to empower them with the confidence and stability they need to grow their businesses sustainably," said Elma Ainza, Suy Sing’s vice president for sales.


Racquel Holazo-Amurao, head of business development at Fuse, emphasized the broader impact of the initiative. “When small business owners can access fair financing, not only does it benefit them, but most especially, it helps strengthen entire communities. This is a step toward making financial solutions more inclusive and accessible.”


By providing responsible, accessible credit, Fuse and GCash, together with its partners, ensure that small business owners can sustain operations, expand their businesses, and better serve their communities, fostering economic resilience at the grassroots level.


SendWave, GCash strengthen global partnership to simplify remittances for OFWs

Sending money home is more than just a transaction for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)—it is a vital connection to their loved ones and a means of ensuring the financial stability of their families. Recognizing this need, GCash and SendWave have expanded their partnership to provide a faster, more secure, and accessible remittance solution for Filipinos abroad. This 2025, the partnership introduces new cash-in features, expanded services to more countries, and enhanced financial accessibility for overseas Filipinos worldwide. 


GCash and SendWave partnership enables fast, secure digital remittances for Filipinos overseas wherever they are in the world

Additionally, SendWave now enables Filipinos abroad to cash in to their own GCash Overseas accounts using their US, UK, or Canada mobile numbers, making digital finance more accessible from virtually anywhere. 


SendWave has established a strong presence in multiple remittance corridors worldwide, particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, and Germany. 


Back at home, GCash users can conveniently access funds through 339,000 cash-in and cash-out outlets across the Philippines. The GCash app also provides users with access to a savings account, investment options, and financial management tools to help them grow and manage their wealth, all within a single platform. 


GCash International general manager, Paul Albano, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, noting that the collaboration bridges financial gaps for Filipinos worldwide. “This partnership between SendWave and GCash gives OFWs the ability to send fast, secure, and hassle-free remittances to their families in the Philippines. It strengthens connections between Filipinos abroad and their loved ones, ensuring their financial needs are met efficiently. For us in GCash, it’s not just about transferring money; it’s about providing a comprehensive financial ecosystem that meets the evolving needs of Filipinos, wherever they are,” Albano said. 


With financial technology reshaping the way people manage their money across borders, GCash and SendWave stand at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring that every Filipino—no matter where they are in the world—has access to a secure, efficient, and modern financial solution. 


To experience seamless, digital-first remittance services, Overseas Filipinos can now download the GCash app and the SendWave app, or visit GCash’s official website at https://new.gcash.com/ to learn more.

PNP-ACG at GCash, sanib pwersa sa pagpapatrolya kontra cybercriminals sa social media

 criminal-handcuffs

Isang mas pina-igting na operasyon ang isinagawa ng Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) katuwang ang GCash para bulabugin ang mga cybercriminal na patuloy ang panloloko online. Target ng tambalang ito ang mga sangkot sa child exploitation at ilegal na bentahan ng mga pre-registered SIM cards

Sa isang undercover operation, natimbog ng mga pulis ang isang indibidwal na umano’y sangkot sa child trafficking gamit ang isang kilalang online platform. Ayon sa imbestigasyon, itinakda pa raw ng suspek ang pagkikita ng biktima at ng “kliyente” sa isang hotel—lingid sa kaalaman ng suspek ay mga pulis na pala ang kanyang ka meet-up. Mabilis na nailigtas ang bata habang ang suspek ay agad inaresto ng Anti-TIP/OSAEC team ng PNP-ACG. Nahaharap siya ngayon sa kasong paglabag sa Republic Act 9208 at RA 10364 na layong supilin ang human trafficking.

Samantala, tuloy rin ang pagkalampag sa mga nagbebenta ng pre-registered SIM cards—isang kalakaran na ginagamit ng mga scammer para makapandaya online. Na-monitor ng mga awtoridad ang mga transaksyon sa social media kung saan binebenta ang mga SIM na ito para takasan ang pagkakakilanlan. May mga inaresto sa bisa ng RA 11934 (SIM Registration Act) at RA 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act). May mga nahuling lumabag din sa Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA), sa mga hiwalay na operasyon laban sa cyber fraud.

Patuloy ang paalala ng GCash: Huwag kailanman magbahagi ng MPIN o OTP! Huwag ring mag-click ng mga kahina-hinalang link! Hindi sila nagpapadala ng PM na humihingi ng personal info.

May kahina-hinalang transaksiyon? I-report agad sa PNP-ACG sa (02) 8414-1560 o 0998-598-8116 o sa email na acg@pnp.gov.ph. Sa GCash naman, i-message lang si Gigi sa website, i-type ang “I want to report a scam,” o tumawag sa 2882.


Madiskarte Moms, Ito na ang Back-to-School Hacks na Kailangan Niyo

There’s something exciting about seeing our kids step into the new school year: new books, new teachers, new friends, and new chances to grow. But let’s be honest: the back-to-school season doesn’t always feel like a fresh start.





Kaya dito lumalabas ang pagiging madiskarte nating moms. We go full-on with our budgeting, trying to juggle all the expenses. But no matter how good you are at handling things, there are days that still get you thinking: Is there a smarter way to do this?

  1. Nauubos na ang oras mo sa school supplies shopping 


Before the start of the school year, ang dami nang kailangan asikasuhin. From buying new uniforms and shoes to making sure all their school supplies are complete, it can really take up the whole day, especially if you're hopping from one store to another.

New DSWD and GCash agreements to accelerate social services and disaster response

 (L-R) GCash public sector head Cleo Celeste C. Santos, business head Edgardo R. Layug Jr., DSWD partnerships building and resource mobilization assistant secretary Marie Rafael, and GCash manager for public sector-national accounts Alda Lou Cabrera


The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has signed two new agreements with GCash, the country’s leading finance app and largest cashless ecosystem, to strengthen the digitalization of its services, enabling faster transactions for social protection and public welfare.

The first agreement is a Quadripartite Memorandum of Agreement (QMOA) with the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr), Land Bank of the Philippines (Landbank), and GCash which integrates the country’s leading finance app into the agency’s Minors Travelling Abroad (MTA) clearance platform and its newly launched Harmonized Electronic License and Permit System (HELPS).

“Our engagement with GCash is a big help for the MTA in terms of paying the fees for the travel clearance. We’re exploring direct payments from our clients to GCash, enabling them to expedite the approval of their documents. We also see the need to expand partnerships with GCash, not just for the minors travelling abroad, but also for other social protective services programs that are handled by the Department of Social Welfare and Development,” said DSWD Protective Services Bureau Director IV Edmon Monteverde.

The MTA system regulates travel for minors going abroad, a government program to safeguard against child trafficking. By using GCash, clients can now settle fees remotely, streamlining applications and accelerating approvals.

Meanwhile, the HELPS platform allows NGOs and charitable institutions to process their accreditation, licensing, and permit applications online, which will now have built-in digital payments through GCash.

“We launched HELPS to solve long-standing inefficiencies. With the upcoming integration of GCash to the HELPS platform, turnaround times will surely improve significantly,” said DSWD Standards Bureau Director IV Atty. Megan Manahan.

As the designated payment channel, GCash collects the fees, which are then remitted through LANDBANK and credited to the Bureau of the Treasury, in line with national fund-handling rules, tapping the millions of users on the GCash app.

“This partnership ensures transparent and secure public collections,” said the Bureau of the  Treasury  Director Maura Lizza Espina. “It exemplifies how digital platforms can support public finance reform.”

LANDBANK Assistant Vice President and Batasan Branch Head Jessica Galorio explained the flow: “LANDBANK serves as a settlement bank for the collections of DSWD through GCash, to be credited to the Bureau of Treasury.”

Supporting the Kaagapay Donations Portal for faster disaster response

In a second agreement, the DSWD and GCash formalized a Memorandum of Agreement for the Kaagapay Donations Portal, which allows Filipinos to donate digitally to vulnerable groups and communities in crisis.

“This MOA expands our capacity to respond to emergencies,” said DSWD Assistant Secretary Marie Rafael. “GCash makes it possible for ordinary citizens to send help directly to DSWD-accredited organizations with just a few taps.”

The Kaagapay Donations Portal supports charitable donations rather than service payments. It allows contributors from across the country and abroad to extend assistance to children under treatment, victims of calamities, and low-income families in need of urgent support.

“The goal is to democratize giving,” added Rafael. “GCash allows donations regardless of geography or transaction size, enabling more Filipinos to take part in rebuilding lives.”

These efforts fall under GCash’s broader vision of “Finance for All,” a mission that aligns with the government’s drive for inclusive digitalization and e-governance. By making public services and philanthropic giving accessible via mobile devices, GCash is helping reshape how Filipinos interact with government and civil society.

“We’re proud to be a partner in nation-building,” said GCash head of GCash for Business Edgardo Layug Jr. “From social welfare disbursements to digital donations, these agreements reflect our commitment to inclusive fintech. This is what Finance for All looks like.”

This feature makes saving for retirement more achievable and more accessible from abroad


GCash announced the launch of GSave for Filipinos in the UAE as it joins the 127th Philippine Independence Day celebrations in Dubai and the upcoming Filipino Social Club’s Philippine Independence Day Celebration (FILSOC PIDC 2025) at the Dubai World Trade Centre on June 14. The presence of GCash in these community gatherings seeks to foster genuine connections and deliver for its users tangible benefits. This is part of GCash’s broader commitment to leveraging meaningful innovation to achieve Finance For All.

"We understand the unique challenges and aspirations of OFWs, and we are dedicated to providing them with the tools to achieve financial security and prepare for a comfortable retirement.”

With the support of local grassroots organizations like FilSoc and Infinite Communities, GCash is deepening its connection to the Middle East’s Filipino community.


Helping OFWs save for their homecoming and retirement

OFWs looking to start building their finances toward their dream retirement will have access to the GCash booth at the Philippine Independence Day celebrations in Dubai on June 14. They can avail of on-the-spot verification, onboarding to GSave, and guided walk-throughs on how the app’s product portfolio can help them manage their finances efficiently and effectively. This is the second installment of Independence Day Celebrations as GCash did a previous run in Dubai as well.


The availability of GSave’s full portfolio also addresses a critical pain point for many OFWs in the Middle East: the desire to have greater control over how their remittances are spent and to easily save for retirement.


With the use of their local +971 numbers, Filipinos in the UAE can now:


  • Save from the UAE with GSave: Open a digital savings account in just 10 mins with a competitive 2.6% p.a. interest rate, with zero maintaining balance and initial deposit. This groundbreaking feature makes saving for retirement more achievable and more accessible from abroad;

GCash aims to provide every Filipino, no matter where they may be in the world, a comprehensive suite of responsive digital financial services that allow them to thrive every day, save up for the rainy days, and invest in that one day where they can enjoy the fruits of their labor. For overseas Filipino workers, in particular, GCash is helping them balance meeting their financial goals with maintaining their connection with their families, all from one app.


Albano adds, “Our services aim to empower our OFWs to thrive now, despite the challenges of being away from home, and we are as committed to helping them reach that one day we all look forward to, where comfortable retirement goals are met and they get to enjoy the result of all their hard work.”


GCash GSave feature is also now available in 13 countries and territories where Filipinos can download and sign up for the GCash app with their local SIMs, namely the UAE, Australia, Canada, Germany, Hongkong, Italy, Japan, Qatar, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and the United States.


Puregold taps GCash anew to drive digital payment adoption for MSMEs

 

GCash for business general manager Jong Layug, officially leads the opening of the 2025 TNAP Convention.

Major retail chain Puregold has again partnered with GCash to expand the use of digital payments by sari-sari store owners at the 2025 Tindahan ni Aling Puring (TNAP) Convention, the country’s largest trade event for sari-sari store owners and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).


The three-day event drew tens of thousands of participants, most of whom still rely on physical cash to manage and run their small businesses. While digital adoption has grown in recent years, cash remains the dominant mode of payment among sari-sari store owners when purchasing inventory.


GCash offered TNAP attendees a range of promotions and incentives to encourage merchants to shift to digital transactions. These include pre-convention campaigns, real-time cashback, and exclusive product discounts for users who pay with GCash at partner booths. The leading finance super app also set up an on-site activation booth in collaboration with Puregold, showcasing how digital tools can help store owners streamline payments, manage capital, and track purchases.


GCash for business general manager Jong Layug stated that the initiative is part of the company’s broader strategy to integrate digital financial services into traditional retail channels and foster digital habits among small-scale entrepreneurs.


“GCash is committed to helping Filipino MSMEs grow by giving them access to safe, convenient, and rewarding digital payment options. At TNAP, we’re bringing this mission to life by making every digital transaction count, whether through savings, rewards, or efficiency,” Layug said.


The partnership comes as Puregold seeks to deepen its role in the country’s digital transition. The retail giant, whose TNAP program is designed to support its extensive sari-sari store network, has been working to improve payment infrastructure at its stores and trade events to reduce friction in B2B transactions.


“Puregold has always believed in the power of MSMEs. By partnering with GCash, we are equipping our TNAP members with tools to thrive in a digital economy,” said Puregold president Vincent Co.


The participation of GCash in TNAP 2025 marks a continued push to embed financial technology into grassroots enterprises, positioning digital tools as drivers of growth and efficiency in the informal economy.

(L-R) GCash distribution cluster head Antonio Concepcion, enterprise sales head Kim Pineda, and B2B commercial head Martin Limgenco, with Flash Express finance director Cao Yuan, operations deputy director Martin Eusebio, and communications and government relations deputy director Rex Pumihic



To digitize payments and disbursements in the logistics space, Flash Express, one of the country's fastest-growing logistics providers; and GCash, the country’s leading finance app and largest cashless ecosystem, have teamed up to introduce Scan on Delivery, a solution designed to make deliveries more seamless for customers and significantly ease the payment acceptance for delivery riders.


The partnership provides a timely solution to the common challenges of cash-on-delivery (COD), a payment method that remains popular among online shoppers. By introducing Scan on Delivery, customers can pay instantly upon receiving their parcels by scanning a GCash QR code, eliminating the need for physical cash exchange.


This digital payment option also helps alleviate the pressure on delivery riders, who often encounter issues such as a lack of exact change, bill splitting, and the risk of carrying cash. It also simplifies the remittance process, reducing the need for manual deposits and enabling riders to focus more on delivering efficient service.


Scan on Delivery also improves efficiency, enhances safety for both parties, and helps accelerate the shift toward more digital payment habits. The partnership also introduces Webpay, which allows users to conveniently pay through the Flash Express app using GCash, offering a smoother online experience.

Beyond payments, Flash Express has adopted GCash’s Funds Disbursement solution to manage rider commissions. This enables automated and timely payouts directly to riders’ GCash wallets, streamlining compensation and removing the need for over-the-counter cash releases.


“Flash Express, as a highly tech-advanced and fully integrated logistics company, is always on the lookout for timely yet effective innovations and solutions not only for our customers but also for our logistics operations. The Scan on Delivery partnership with GCash will simplify and speed up the collection and remittance of our delivery riders. On the other hand, customers who are familiar with the different payment solutions of GCash will now get to experience the same customer journey whenever they use the service of Flash Express. Overall, this partnership also aims to provide knowledge to customers on digital payment solutions in the e-commerce logistics space,” said Flash Express Communications and Government Relations Deputy Director Reginald Rex Pumihic.


For GCash for Business Commercial Head Martin Limgenco, this strategic collaboration further emphasizes GCash’s role in making Filipino lives easier every day. “Scan on Delivery powered by GCash— Not only are we innovating this critical step-change on how our customers make their payments for cash on delivery, but we are also increasing security and reducing risk for both our partner and their customers. I would like to congratulate Flash Express for embracing this change — you guys are truly pioneers in this field.”


By embedding cashless solutions into logistics, GCash is leading the way in transforming deliveries by making payments simpler, faster, and more secure.
