Taguig City, Philippines – When someone says Greenhills, people instantly think of tiangges, apparel stores, and pearl accessories, making it one of the most notable malls in the country. Unknown to consumers, one of the daily challenges of many of the tenants in the complex are breaking bills.
To solve this, the managing company behind Greenhills, Ortigas & Co., have initially started deploying QR code payment solutions to its tenants at Shoppesville and at V-Mall through GCash, the #1 mobile wallet provider in the Philippines. The same is equipping merchants with their unique QR code ID to be able to accept payments from customers with the GCash App.

With GCash QR, both customers and merchants alike won’t have to think of paying big bills or in coins, as exact payment can be inputted in the app. A customer just needs to “scan” a merchant’s QR code using their smartphone’s camera with the GCash App, enter the amount to be paid, and confirm the payment. We think that them being able to accept cashless payments via GCash QR will bring more convenient and more efficient transactions. “We’re very glad to support Greenhills’ drive towards cashless payments, and we’re looking forward to enabling more locations of this organization,” he added.
Getting a GCash account is easy. Customers should just download the GCash App for free from the App Store or from Google Play and sign up for an account. The GCash App is available for Globe, TM, Smart, Sun, and Talk n’ Text subscribers. Alternatively, they can look for @gcashofficial on Messenger and sign up.
To fund their GCash account, a user can visit over 16,000 GCash partner outlets nationwide, and tell the cashier to cash-in to their GCash account. Cashing-in to a GCash account is free.
