Game-Changing GCash Tools Set to Boost Iligan’s MSMEs and Freelancers with Seamless Payment Solutions

Empowering Iligan MSMEs Through Digital Payment Innovation

GCash continues to redefine how Iligan-based businesses and freelancers handle payments through the introduction of GCash PocketPay and the GCash Virtual US Account.

GCash PocketPay allows micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to accept card payments directly via Android smartphones, eliminating the need for expensive POS systems. This tap-to-pay feature is tailor-made for mobile sellers, pop-up merchants, and delivery-based vendors, giving them the power to meet customer demand without added costs.

Key benefits of GCash PocketPay for Iligan MSMEs:

• Zero transaction fees until December 3, 2025 – helping businesses save more.
• Card payment acceptance via smartphone – no additional hardware needed.
• Access through GCash for Business portal – fast setup and activation.

“GCash PocketPay makes accepting card payments available for all MSMEs. It’s an easy-to-use and reliable business solution that meets their needs wherever they are,” said GCash for Business Head Jong Layug.

Better Income Access for Iligan Freelancers with the GCash Virtual US Account

For Iligan’s growing freelancer community, GCash’s new Virtual US Account provides a seamless solution to one of their biggest challenges: high remittance and withdrawal fees.

Powered by Meridian, this account enables Filipino freelancers to receive USD payments directly into their GCash wallets without hidden fees or lengthy delays. With reduced forex costs and faster fund transfers, freelancers can enjoy higher take-home pay and improved financial control.

Key features of the GCash Virtual US Account:

1. Direct transfer from global platforms like PayPal, Payoneer, Upwork, Freelancer.com, Fiverr, and more.
2. No withdrawal or hidden charges, ensuring more earnings stay in the user’s pocket.
3. Simple eligibility – available to fully verified GCash users.

“With the GCash Virtual US Account, we’re enabling Filipino freelancers to take full control of their hard-earned income, allowing them to maximize every peso they earn,” said Paul Albano, GCash General Manager for International.

These two solutions align with GCash’s broader mission to enhance financial access for Filipinos, empowering Iligan’s small business owners and freelancers to thrive in a fast-evolving digital economy.
