No card, no problem! Here's how GCash users can link their accounts to Google Pay.
MANILA, Philippines, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the official launch of Google Pay in the Philippines, GCash, the country's biggest cashless ecosystem, can now be fully integrated with Google's secure and widely accepted payment system.
Ren-Ren Reyes, President and CEO of GCash mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc., joins other industry players led by the FintechAlliance.Ph and Visa, along with officials from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), at the launch of Google Pay in the Philippines
The integration is now available to select GCash users and will be rolling out to more customers soon. It will enable millions of Filipinos to link their GCash wallets to Google Pay for fast, secure, and seamless transactions.
To link GCash accounts to Google Pay, users need to download the Google Wallet App from the Google Play Store, open the GCash app, and tap on their Profile. From there, they should go to My Linked Accounts and select Google Pay. After reviewing the information, users must agree to bind and proceed with biometric verification. Once complete, a prompt will appear that will redirect them to the Google Pay app, where they need to sign in.
By combining the unmatched local scale and trust of GCash with Google Pay's global infrastructure, the integration redefines how users move through digital and physical commerce. With the integration, users can easily activate GCash as a fund source for Google Pay for various transactions.
Moreover, activating GCash on Google Pay provides a more seamless and secure experience, since it eliminates the need for manual card entry, without storing or sharing card numbers with merchants.
"This integration empowers our users to move through digital and physical spaces with greater ease, security, and reach, anchored in our purpose of making the everyday lives of Filipinos better," said Ren-Ren Reyes, President and CEO of G-Xchange, Inc., the mobile wallet operator of GCash.
"We're proud to work with GCash to bring faster, convenient, and more secure payments to the Philippines. This launch underscores our enduring commitment to accelerating financial inclusion and fueling the next chapter of the Philippines' dynamic digital economy," said Prep Palacios, Country Manager, Google Philippines.
As digital ecosystems evolve, GCash leads with accessibility, security, and relevance. The integration with Google Pay is more than a feature; it shows how GCash is shaping the future of the digital economy in the Philippines, by making financial services fast, secure, and widely accepted.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when nearly 1 in 5 students nationally fails to complete high school on time and young adults without a diploma face significantly higher unemployment and housing insecurity, MindHYVE.ai™ participated in Miracle University's "Multiply the Miracle" community fundraiser in Sacramento—reinforcing its commitment to education equity, dropout prevention, and student empowerment.
The event brought together educators, community leaders, donors, and students in support of Miracle University's mission to address the dropout crisis through alternative, holistic education models serving non-traditional and at-risk learners.
Leadership Engagement and a Shared Sense of Urgency
MindHYVE Founder & CEO Bill Faruki joined Miracle University leadership for an engagement focused on relationship-building, student connection, and long-term impact. During the visit, Mr. Bill Faruki met with Dr. Raja, Founder and President of Miracle University, to discuss the institution's role in stabilizing students' lives amid challenges that extend far beyond the classroom.
National research consistently shows that students experiencing homelessness, foster care placement, or justice-system exposure are two to three times more likely to disengage from traditional education systems. Miracle University's model directly addresses these realities by combining education with wraparound support, mentorship, and community connection.
"Institutions like Miracle University are not just educating students—they are interrupting cycles of instability," said Bill Faruki. "When students are supported as whole people, education becomes a powerful force for transformation."
Student Engagement and AI Literacy for the Future Workforce
As part of the visit, Bill Faruki led an interactive, two-hour session with Miracle University students focused on:
- An introduction to artificial intelligence and emerging technologies
- Real-world applications of AI in education and future careers
- How personal interests, creativity, and lived experience can translate into opportunity
The conversation comes at a critical moment: studies estimate that over 60% of future jobs will require some level of digital or AI fluency, yet access to emerging technology education remains deeply uneven across socioeconomic lines.
Bill emphasized that students' backgrounds are not limitations—but differentiators—especially in a world increasingly shaped by technology, ethics, and human-centered innovation.
Following the session, MindHYVE leadership engaged in one-on-one conversations with students who shared personal journeys shaped by housing insecurity, foster care, and systemic instability—stories that reflect national trends but are too often invisible in traditional education settings.
Community Celebration and Student Achievement
The visit concluded with Miracle University's "Multiply the Miracle" holiday celebration, featuring student performances, testimonials, and community fellowship. The program highlighted student success stories—graduates who have transitioned into higher education, career pathways, and renewed stability through Miracle University's programs.
These outcomes are especially significant given that students who return to education after dropping out are statistically far more likely to persist when enrolled in alternative, relationship-driven learning environments like Miracle University's.
During the event, Faruki was formally recognized for his ongoing engagement and support of the university's mission.
