Globe Launch PH's 1st QR Payment System
Mynt, the digital payments arm of Philippine telecommunications firm Globe Telecom, officially launched the first country's first QR payment system for mobile devices.
Touted as a new feature within the Globe GCash mobile app, GoPay allows GCash users to pay for goods and services just by scanning QR codes displayed by merchants and establishments. This would eliminate the need for the consumer to have cash on hand while the merchant no longer need to buy machines to process mobile money transactions requiring only QRs with a unique code linked to their GCash wallet.
Mobile device users may need to download and install the latest version of the Globe GCash mobile app from Google Play and iOS App Store, sign up for an account and fund their wallet through any of the more than 12,000 GCash partner outlets nationwide. Swiping left within the GCash app brings up the phone's camera where customers can scan a partner store's QR code and bring up payment details.
The new service is yet to be rolled out across selected partner stores in the coming weeks or months but this will make more Filipino communities comfortable with cashless transactions through their own mobile devices.
