Dubai UAE: du Pay, the advanced digital financial services subsidiary of du, has launched a campaign in partnership with Gcash, the Philippines' most widely used mobile wallet, operated by Globe Telecom, to deliver a smarter remittance experience for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) across the UAE.

Building on the partnership formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two entities, the initiative brings together two of the region's most trusted fintech platforms, both rooted in the telco ecosystem, to deliver a seamless cross-border remittance experience, directly from the du Pay app to GCash wallets in the Philippines.

Throughout the campaign period, du Pay customers sending money to GCash wallets will benefit from exclusive rewards and promotional incentives, including weekly cash prizes, giving the UAE's Filipino community even more reason to make digital remittances their first choice.

du Pay customers can register using their mobile number and Emirates ID and transfer funds instantly to any GCash wallet in the Philippines around the clock with no delays. Transfers are processed on a secure, fully regulated platform, with competitive foreign exchange rates and low transfer fees ensuring that every dirham sent home delivers maximum value.

For families in the Philippines, the value of receiving money through GCash goes far beyond the transfer itself. Funds land instantly and are immediately accessible across GCash's comprehensive financial ecosystem, and the cash sent through du Pay becomes a tool for financial empowerment at the other end.

Roberto Mancone, CEO of du Pay, said: "The Filipino community is one of the most vibrant and hardworking communities in the UAE, and every transfer they make home represents a commitment to the people they love. Our partnership with GCash, a fellow fintech born from the telco world, allows us to honour that commitment by making digital financial services truly seamless and affordable. Supporting OFWs and deepening our ties with the Filipino community is a reflection of du Pay's mission, and this partnership is a natural extension of everything we stand for in cross-border payments innovation."

Arjun Varma, General Manager for GCash International, said: "We have always believed that no Filipino should be left behind, whether at home or thousands of miles away. This partnership with du Pay means that OFWs in the UAE can send money home with confidence, knowing it will arrive instantly and be ready to use across everything GCash offers: from daily expenses and utility bills to savings, credit, insurance, and beyond. Mobile wallet-to-mobile wallet remittances are the future of how money moves, and together with du Pay, we are making that future accessible today."

Both du Pay and GCash reaffirmed their dedication to building a lasting partnership, with a shared vision to continuously expand and enhance the services available to Filipinos in the UAE and their families back home, ensuring that digital remittances remain faster and more empowering with every step forward.

Filipino residents in the UAE can get started immediately by downloading or updating the du Pay app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
