MANILA, Philippines, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GCash, the Philippines’ leading finance super app and largest cashless ecosystem, further expands its presence overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom and Europe, through the new UK/EU Bank Cash In feature, revolutionizing remittance for around two million Filipinos in Europe.

Starting in November, overseas Filipinos in the UK and Europe will be able to seamlessly link their international bank accounts to GCash, making it easier and more convenient to send remittances to the Philippines.

With the new feature, Filipinos can enjoy lower fees and faster transaction times when sending money home, as well as competitive exchange rates and real-time access to funds.

“Many Filipinos have chosen Europe and the United Kingdom as their home. GCash hopes to provide their needs and help them connect with their loved ones, as a trusted digital finance partner made for Filipinos, by Filipinos,” said Paul Albano, GCash International General Manager.

“At GCash, we prioritize finance for all Filipinos whether they are in the Philippines or abroad. We know our countrymen in Europe and the UK work hard to provide for their families back home,” says Albano. “We want to make their lives easier by looking for more convenient ways to help them send money back to their families.”

Both in environmental area and labour practices & human rights’ area, the company has improved its previous scores by 10 points, reaching, respectively, 90 and 80. Progress in these two areas has enabled Hinojosa to further improve this year the overall score and position itself in the top 3% of all companies.

The improvement in the environmental area is due, among other things, to the validation of the emissions reduction targets and to achieving the Net-Zero Standard in 2050, as part of the SBTi (Science Based Target initiative). Some of the company’s commitments in this area include achieving a 60% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 42% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, in addition to using 100% of its electricity from renewable sources.

Hinojosa’s efforts to generate a positive impact in labour practices and human rights has also been recognised by EcoVadis. The expansion and consolidation of its FP Dual program or the creation of Hinojosa Cathedra together with Universitat Politècnica de València are some of the most relevant initiatives.
