Supporting customer engagement

GCash operates a digital payments ecosystem covering more than six million partner merchants and social sellers. Its services include money transfers, bill payments, savings, loans, insurance, and investments.

The anniversary campaign provides additional opportunities to encourage transactions across these services while supporting customer engagement.

GCash users can access P10 chicken meal offers at selected KFC, Chooks to Go, Andok's, and Baliwag outlets until Oct. 31.

Customers must claim vouchers through the GCash app and complete purchases using Scan to Pay at participating branches.

Meanwhile, MRT-3 commuters can enjoy free rides until Oct. 23 using Commute QR, Tap-to-Pay, or GCash Visa Card.

Users must maintain a minimum P14 balance, which is deducted upon entry and refunded after exiting.

Customers completing eligible transactions through the GBirthday feature can receive instant credits worth P10, P50, or P100.

They can also qualify for raffle prizes, including up to P100,000 in GCash credits and 100 Yamaha YTX 125 motorcycles with complimentary GInsure coverage.
