History with GCash
It’s been a while since I have been toying with the idea of the convenience of having a digital mobile wallet. It was not until 2010 that I was introduced to GCash. At first, I decided to avail of a GCash account so that I can get a personalized GCash physical card. The idea of paying and buying anything via mobile was exciting, but withdrawing money using a personalized physical card was even more. Besides, the use of the GCash system wasn’t that rampant during that time.
New Life with GCash
Early last year, January of 2017, I have decided to get another GCash account with my new Globe mobile number. I downloaded the GCash App via Google Play Store. In an instant, I found the app very convenient and amazing. The flexibility of paying bills and transferring money to other people was exciting. My dream of having a digital mobile wallet has finally come to fruition!
GCash and PayPal
To be honest, the deciding factor wasn’t really that. It was the collaboration between GCash and PayPal made me decide to download the app. I am an online worker and I receive my salary via PayPal. Because of their collaboration, instead of waiting for days to get my salary deposited in my bank, with the use of GCash, I can get my money almost in an instant. It was the ultimate convenient beyond imagination!
Life with GCash
Since then, I have been using GCash for almost everything. I rarely have cash with me. I use it to pay for all kinds of bills, groceries, government agency payments, and much more. I also use it to send money to my family and receive payments from my clients. Now with its expanded services, I can even pay for insurances, loans, airline tickets, and among others. I can do almost every financial errand from the comfort of my home or anywhere at any time.
Basically, because of the advent of GCash, managing my finances got easier. As a single mom of three, I get to save a lot of personal time for my children and even money. Instead of waiting in long queues just to pay for our bills, I get to spend time with my kids. Just a few swipes and taps, my financial errands can be done in a jiffy!
