Through the wonders of blockchain technology, Alipay HK and Globe Gcash had found a solution to fix that pain points from sending money from Hong Kong to Philippines
From a media event earlier, they cemented a new partnership which Alipay HK users can send money to Globe Gcash at no extra cost and real time.
From a statement from Jennifer Tan " We are very excited to introduce the new remittance solution to users in Hong Kong, and in particular to the Filipino community b in the city. What used to be a long process of physically going to a remittance booth, queing in line for hours and filling out forms is no easily and securely done over the mobile phone in just a few seconds. Together with GCash, we aim to provide Filipinos expats a more convenient, seamless experience to transfer money back home to the families in the Philippines. We will also continue to provide tailor-made solutions for our customers as we aim to enhance their daily lives through our secure and fuss-free approach
Good thing that this agreement will benefit both for those regular Globe/TM users who already registered to Gcash as well as those who are into the Gcash beta program which from other networks can register to it. For Alipay HK, this is great news especially for Hong Kong-based OFWs
