GCash has teamed up with Careem Pay to streamline remittances for Filipinos in the United Arab Emirates, allowing for faster and more convenient money transfers to the Philippines.
Following an official signing at Careem’s head office in Dubai, users can now send money directly to GCash wallets. The direct integration enables transfers to settle within minutes, avoiding the delays of traditional bank transfers and the inconvenience of visiting physical remittance centers. Funds are credited straight to the recipient’s GCash app for immediate access.
To send money from the UAE, users need to download the latest version of the Careem app, select Pay on the home screen and follow the steps under the Send Abroad tab.
“Sending money home is one of the most meaningful things our customers do with Careem Pay,” said Arjun Varma, general manager for GCash International.
“For many Filipino expats, it’s about supporting loved ones, covering school fees, or helping parents with everyday expenses,” said Varma.
The partnership also adds cash pickup options across nearly 15,000 locations.
