GCash is Back — Now Better with e-Pocket
9 May 2025

Why GCash is so Important for Filipinos
The digital finance world has transformed rapidly in recent years — especially in the Philippines. GCash has played a massive role in that evolution, becoming a cornerstone of daily life for millions of people.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that GCash is officially back on our platform. We’ve relaunched it with a smoother experience, faster processing times, and local support — all tailored to meet the needs of customers in Australia.
Large exchange-rate markups, robotic customer service, and frustrating delays should be things of the past. With the return of GCash through e-Pocket, we’re aiming to offer the best way to send money to the Philippines from Australia.
According to Nikkei Asia, GCash reached 94 million registered users by the end of 2023, and it’s now accepted by over 6 million merchants across the country.
What started as a mobile payment service has grown into an all-in-one digital finance platform, enabling users to pay bills, shop online, transfer money, and even invest — all from their phones.
In late 2023, CEO Martha Sazon highlighted that GCash empowers people across the world:
“Through GCash services, Filipino travelers as well as those who live and work overseas can enjoy the same benefits as those who own credit cards and bank accounts.”
At e-Pocket, we couldn’t agree more — and that’s why we’ve rebuilt our GCash service from the ground up.
The Evolution of GCash — and Why You Deserve Better
GCash launched in 2004, at a time when mobile money transfers were almost unheard of. Back then, it gave users in the Philippines a new way to send money and pay bills via SMS. Over time, as smartphones became widespread, so did GCash.
Today, GCash provides services ranging from bill payments and ecommerce to micro-investing and banking. For many Filipinos, especially those without traditional bank accounts, GCash is essential.
But as the platform has grown, so has the number of unreliable GCash remittance services. Many customers are now stuck with buggy apps, verification errors, or support systems that don’t respond. That’s where e-Pocket comes in.
Why e-Pocket Rebuilt GCash Transfers
We saw the opportunity to do better. So, we did.

Simple System
Just open the e-Pocket app, tap “Send Money”, choose “Philippines”, and select “Mobile Wallet”. Then enter the details — it’s that easy.

GCash Has a Bright Future — And So Do You
GCash is not just a trend — it’s the future of remittance and mobile finance in the Philippines. And at e-Pocket, we’re proud to be part of that future.
By relaunching GCash with a better platform, stronger support, and smarter systems, we’ve made it easier than ever to send money to the Philippines from Australia.
