GCash scan to pay makes its way to NCCC Davao

November 28, Davao City – New City Commercial Corporation (NCCC), Davao’s homegrown retail chain, partners with GCash for a hassle-free and secured cashless payment.

“We at NCCC are committed to provide our customers with the highest quality of customer service. Electronic payments via QR is the wave of the future and we want our customers to experience it now with the help of GCash,” said Tjader Regis, NCCC Supermarket Senior Vice-President.

He added that the scan to pay feature will benefit customers especially those in rural areas who avail of the delivery service. “They need not pay in cash at the same time our associates do not have to transport large amount of money back to the branch. GCash offers convenience as well as security for both parties.”

A first in Mindanao, customers can now pay electronically through the use of QR scanning via smartphones. To do so, download the GCash App for free via Google Play Store for Android phones and App Store for iPhone.

It contains several ways to use GCash, one of which is the Pay QR. Once chosen, it will prompt the user to point the camera towards the merchant’s QR sticker for automatic capture. The customer will then input the amount to be paid and money will already be transferred to the account of the merchant electronically. The GCash wallet can be loaded at any of the over 12,000 GCash cash-in outlets nationwide.

For his part, Globe president and CEO Ernest Cu expressed: “we are excited over this partnership since NCCC is a well-loved mall in Mindanao, having established its roots in Davao. Through NCCC, we would want to introduce QR payments to Mindanaoans for a better shopping experience. With the GCash App scan to pay feature, they don’t have to bring cash anymore or even look for exact change. They only need their smartphone.”

Aside from Cu, also present during the launching are GCash president and CEO Albert Tinio, NCCC chairperson Helen A. Lim, and NCCC president and CEO Lafayette Lim.

GCash, operated by Mynt as owned by Globe Telecom, Ant Financial and Ayala Corp, hopes to change the purchasing payment landscape in the Philippines, strongly believing that cashless transactions will be the next big thing in the retail industry.

It strives to promote cashless transactions in the country to reach more Filipinos by partnering with key market players and top companies beginning with Mercato and Glorietta. GCash is the pioneer in electronic payments system in the Philippines that uses QR codes instead of cash to pay for goods and services.
