GCash partnership with Taptap Send brings
overseas Filipinos in Bahrain closer to home with zero transfer fees straight
to their GCash wallets
For many OFWs, sending money home
helps cover everyday needs, from household expenses and education to healthcare
and savings. To make remittances more accessible to Filipinos in Bahrain,
Taptap Send has expanded its international network through a partnership with
GCash, the Philippines’ #1 finance superapp and largest cashless ecosystem.
The
partnership offers OFWs in Bahrain a seamless way to send money directly to
GCash accounts. For a limited time, users can enjoy zero transfer fees (standard
foreign exchange rates still apply).
The
collaboration is part of broader efforts by GCash to work with accredited
international partners to provide Filipinos abroad with safer, more convenient
ways to send money home. Beyond Bahrain, the service will expand to the United
States, including Hawaii (excluding Las Vegas), Canada, the United Kingdom, the
United Arab Emirates, Australia, and select European countries including
Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Mayotte, the Netherlands, Portugal, Réunion,
Slovakia, Spain, Romania, Denmark, Norway, Czechia, Hungary, and Sweden.
“Our partnership with GCash allows us to make it even easier for overseas Filipinos to send money home through a trusted digital platform. By offering convenient transfers, competitive exchange rates, and zero transaction fees in supported corridors, we want to help OFWs make every remittance count and stay connected to the people who matter most,” said Faye Sta. Ana-Corpuz, Taptap Send head of the Philippines Growth and SEA Expansion.
The
partnership also highlights the importance of using official and accredited
remittance channels, which provide greater transaction security and
traceability while reducing risks associated with unaccredited or
difficult-to-trace intermediaries.
“At
GCash, we recognize the important role remittances play in helping Filipino
families manage their everyday needs and build a more secure financial future.
By working with trusted international partners like Taptap Send, we are
expanding access to safe, convenient, and reliable ways for Filipinos abroad to
send money home while strengthening their connection to the Philippines,”
shared GCash International vice president for international payments, Carlos
Bauza.

The
