Puregold Price Club, Inc. has entered into a strategic
partnership with GCash for Business to accelerate the digitalization of
sari-sari stores and expand access to digital payments and financial solutions
among Filipino nano, micro, small, and medium enterprises (NMSMEs).

Through this partnership with Puregold Price Club, GCash for
Business aims to provide easier access to payment tools for merchants who were
previously unable to use them and equip them with the right tools to accept
digital payments, manage finances, and grow their business. Sari-sari stores remain one of the most vital pillars of the
Philippine economy, serving as accessible sources of essential goods in local
communities across the country. Yet despite their reach, many NMSMEs continue
to operate on cash-based systems that limit their ability to accept digital
payments, such as QRPH payments and debit and credit cards; track transactions;
manage cash flow; and access formal financial services. Puregold Price Club and GCash for Business are directly
addressing these gaps, bringing tools that are easy to access, scalable, and
made for them. “Our partnership with Puregold Price Club reflects a shared vision
of empowering communities on the ground, by making digital payments and
business solutions more inclusive, practical, and within reach," Ren-Ren
Reyes, President and CEO of G-Xchange, Inc, the mobile wallet operator of
GCash, shared. Bringing digital solutions to the local economy The event introduced Puregold Price Club’s TNAP network of
entrepreneurs to GCash for Business full suite of easy, simple, and convenient
solutions, empowering business owners with flexible digital payment solutions
that fit their needs and are functional, such as GCash SoundPay and GCash
PocketPay. GCash PocketPay turns an NFC-enabled Android smartphone into
a POS machine, allowing merchants to accept credit card and QRPH payments
anytime, anywhere. With GCash SoundPay, each payment transaction is secure with
real-time payment confirmations you can hear. Beyond payment acceptance,
the GCash for Business Portal provides a centralized platform where merchants
can monitor transactions and manage their transfers to their suppliers, with no
limits and no fees. Through on-ground demos and onboarding support, merchants
learned how to quickly set up and start accepting digital payments using GCash
for Business devices. Doing so has enabled merchants to accept more payments,
cater to their customers better, and open more opportunities, truly empowering
them to grow. “Puregold Price Club and GCash have worked hand in hand to
empower our Tindahan ni Aling Puring members, who remain at the very heart of
our mission. Through our partnership with GCash for Business, we are helping
equip members of the Tindahan ni Aling Puring network with digital tools and
payment solutions that strengthen their day-to-day operations, support their
growth, and enable them to better serve their customers in an increasingly
digital economy,” Puregold Price Club, Inc. President, Vincent Co, concluded. The partnership also extends to Puregold’s retail operations,
where GCash for Business solutions are being integrated to support in-store
transactions, disbursements, and broader operational processes. This creates a
more connected ecosystem between suppliers and the sari-sari stores they serve. Puregold Price Club and GCash for Business are proactively
championing digitalization among NMSMEs by making digital tools and solutions
more accessible to businesses of all sizes — empowering even small businesses
to adapt to changing consumer behavior, participate in the digital economy, and
unlock more opportunities for long-term growth and financial inclusion. Learn more about GCash for Business solutions for sari-sari
