In a milestone initiative to drive digital transformation and meaningful economic growth, the Municipality of Tanay, Rizal, has teamed up with GCash, the country’s top finance app and largest cashless ecosystem, to roll out the province’s first comprehensive digital payment system. This partnership aims to simplify financial transactions for residents, reduce the need for time-consuming commutes, and support the broader economic empowerment of the local community.

The roll out of the new digital system, which includes GCash’s Scan-To-Pay (STP), BillsPay, Fund Disbursement Service (FDS), and VISA Cards, will significantly streamline the way Tanay residents handle their financial transactions. This marks a crucial step for the province, making Tanay the first municipality in Rizal to adopt digital financial aid disbursement through GCash, paired with VISA cards for added financial flexibility.

For many Tanay residents, the traditional process of paying taxes or receiving financial assistance often meant traveling long distances to the municipal hall, a journey that could cost as much as PHP 100 to PHP 200 in transportation expenses. With the integration of GCash’s digital solutions, citizens can make payments and collect financial aid from the comforts of their homes, anytime and anywhere.

"This collaboration is set to lead the way for other municipalities in Rizal, sparking a ripple of innovation that will accelerate digital transformation and empower communities across the province to thrive in a world that’s increasingly becoming digital-first. With the successful rollout in Tanay, GCash aims to inspire more local governments to adopt similar technologies, contributing to a more financially inclusive future for all Filipinos.

As GCash continues to expand its footprint across the country, this partnership underscores its commitment to driving positive social impact through innovative financial technology, empowering communities, and fostering sustainable growth.
