“As digital payment solutions become increasingly essential, GCash Watch Pay eliminates the need to pull out a phone or wallet during purchases. Users can link their GCash account to a compatible Huawei smartwatch and generate a QR code directly from the device.” ~Ren-Ren Reyes, president and CEO of GCash mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc.

| Huawei, GCash bring first-ever wearable payment innovation to the Philippines |
Through its cooperation with Huawei, GCash continues to innovate in streamlining daily transactions by offering Watch Pay, the first wearable payment innovation in the Philippines, as more Filipinos look for quicker and more convenient ways to make payments. With the help of this new payment method, users can easily and securely make payments right from their wrist.
The GCash QR code in the Huawei smartwatch can then be scanned by any merchant with a scanning point-of-sale system, completing the transaction instantly and securely.
This function is intended for people who are constantly on the go and may find it inconvenient to reach for their wallet or phone while running errands, exercising, or commuting. Together with Huawei, GCash is addressing the increasing demand for safe and easy payment methods in today's mobile-first, fast-paced world by integrating payments into wearable technology.
Additionally, this collaboration with Huawei reaffirms GCash's dedication to improving the ease of digital payments, with an emphasis on security and compatibility. In an effort to further emphasize their partnership, GCash Payment Innovations Head Dani Gil Librojo recently attended the Huawei Developer Conference in Dongguan, China. Seven million Huawei Smartwatch users in the Philippines may now make QR payments.
With Business Scan Consumer technology, Watch Pay is compatible with a few shops and is presently available for Huawei smartwatches. This is a significant step toward increasing wearable payment options for consumers looking for transactions that are secure and efficient.
