GCash and travel platform Klook have teamed up to roll out a co-branded travel card aimed at giving Filipino travelers easier payments and access to exclusive perks.
The GCash Klook Travel Card, introduced at a media preview, is designed to let users pay with their GCash wallet in more than 200 countries. The companies said the partnership aims to make travel more convenient and affordable for Filipinos.
Klook Philippines general manager Michelle Ho said the tie-up builds on both companies’ goal of simplifying travel. She said the partnership combines Klook’s experience-focused platform with GCash’s financial services to offer users more value during trips.
GCash executive Barbara Dapul said the card will allow travelers to make purchases abroad without cash or mobile signal. It carries no international service fees, offers low foreign exchange rates, and features real-time currency conversion and transaction tracking in the app. The card also provides access to global ATMs.
New cardholders will receive a P1,000 airport transfer voucher and a P350 Klook eSIM voucher upon activation. Users will also get an annual P1,000 hotel voucher and can claim 5% off Klook bookings up to five times a year.
The card includes an automatic upgrade to Klook’s Gold Rewards tier, which provides complimentary eSIMs, triple KlookCash earnings, and more than P6,000 in bonus travel coupons.
Backed by Visa’s network, the card offers low forex rates and zero service fees for both tap payments and cash withdrawals overseas. Foreign currency expenses converted to pesos can be monitored in the GCash app, while vouchers and KlookCash can be viewed in the Klook app.
The GCash Klook Travel Card will be available this December. Interested users may join the waitlist on the Klook app, with the first 10,000 customers able to purchase the card at an introductory one-time price of P250.
