For many micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), existing digital payment tools can feel complex, expensive, and out of reach. GCash for Business seeks to change this by creating simple, affordable, and inclusive business solutions designed for every stage of growth.

With the launch of GCash PocketPay, business owners can now turn their smartphones into credit card terminals—no extra hardware or complex setup required. Merchants with a fully verified GCash account simply download the app to start accepting card payments via NFC tap.

“Digital tools should adapt to how MSMEs actually operate—on tight budgets and quick turnarounds,” says Jong Layug, General Manager of B2B at Mynt. “GCash PocketPay is flexible, reliable, and incredibly easy to use. It’s our way of helping business owners do more with less.”

GCash PocketPay allows entrepreneurs to accept cashless payments seamlessly, removing the need to confirm transfers manually or check message receipts. Customers can just tap their cards, and payments reflect instantly—saving time, minimizing errors, and ensuring smooth transactions.

Ideal for pop-up stores, delivery-based businesses, or home entrepreneurs, PocketPay also enables faster settlements and transaction tracking straight from a smartphone.

Ease of doing business, reimagined
GCash for Business believes that digital tools should make operations effortless—not intimidating. Through platforms like PocketPay, it envisions an “easy era” for Filipino MSMEs—where growth no longer requires heavy costs or complicated systems.

Entrepreneurs can enjoy zero transaction fees until December 3, 2025, by signing up through the GCash for Business Portal and downloading GCash PocketPay via Google Play.

Real stories of convenience
For café and restaurant owner Miguel Escueta of Frank & Dean, GCash PocketPay has been a game-changer.

“It has made doing business more convenient, especially in our corporate office locations. Many customers prefer credit cards, so having GCash PocketPay as a third option alongside cash and e-wallets really helps,” he shares.

Escueta adds that digital payment tools like PocketPay have not only improved customer experience but also streamlined financial management. “Don’t be afraid to go digital. It’s safer, easier to monitor, and eliminates the hassle of depositing cash manually,” he says.

Beyond PocketPay: GCash SoundPay
GCash for Business also offers GCash SoundPay, a compact, portable solution that accepts QR payments and provides instant voice confirmation for every transaction. It’s perfect for busy counters or mobile operations, helping business owners maintain efficiency and customer trust.

Both PocketPay and SoundPay are available through the GCash for Business Portal, where entrepreneurs can register, order devices, and manage transactions all in one place.
