GCash Credit Card coming soon?

Just saw this article. Please correct me if I'm wrong but afaik, only banks can issue credit cards. Maybe this will be a BNPL card similar to Atome, Salmon, Luvit, etc. (???). Anyway, I'm excited for this and I hope it will push through!

What are your thoughts?


JAKARTA – GCash, the largest digital wallet platform in the Philippines, is now preparing for a major expansion into the credit card sector.

With a valuation of USD 5 billion, the joint venture between Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala’s (JAZA) Ayala Group and Jack Ma’s Alibaba Group is currently seeking a new business unit head to lead the initiative.

According to the Jack Ma Alibaba Foundation’s Facebook account on Saturday (26/4), this move marks GCash’s continued strategy to broaden its digital financial services portfolio, having already captured 89% of the e-wallet market in the Philippines through Mynt (Global Fintech Innovations), a subsidiary of Globe Telecom.

In a job listing posted on JobStreet.com, GCash is looking for an executive who will be responsible for strategy development, planning, and budgeting for the credit card unit.

The successful candidate will also serve as the lead representative in strategic partnerships with global players such as American Express (Amex), Mastercard, and Visa.

Other key responsibilities include co-developing marketing programmes with the customer team and boosting card acquisition and usage among users.

The role is expected to open new revenue opportunities and position the credit card business as a sustainable profit generator.

GCash is seeking applicants with experience in product and account management, cost-benefit analysis, and strong organisational skills. A background in project management, change management, and prior experience in the financial sector will be considered strong assets.

The move into credit cards is part of GCash’s long-term strategy, which includes preparations for an initial public offering (IPO) that is anticipated to be the largest in Philippine capital market history.

GCash has already introduced a VISA e-wallet card and is now expanding its offerings into full credit card products, as part of its ambition to cement its status as a digital financial super-app in Southeast Asia. (DK/ZH)

Installment plan after CC replacement

Dumb question. I got my old amore replaced with visa platinum and I have remaining installment payment in that old card from a furniture store. Should I notify the furniture store or will the installment plan automatically transfer to my new card? Thank you

Is it recommended to email all banks that you need amnesty offers? Wait for collection agencies? What worked for those na nagka amnesty offers?

Also better ba sagustin ung spam calls? Or just wait for email offer.

Thank you for answering.

Metrobank Platinum Mastercard

Hi! I still can't believe that I got approve for this type of card after applying for so long. For context, I am 25 yrs old working for about 3 yrs already and our payroll is Metrobank. Salary is not that high - less than 30k, so its not even qualified sa criteria of the card na atleast 700k gross annual income. But the thing is, since last yr my gf who works abroad continously sending money to my payroll but will transfer din sa savings namin right away. So, maybe due to the active cashflow ng account ko kaya ako na-approve? hehe but I'm so happy! 💖

Please share any tips naman on how to utilize this wisely or any ideas when it comes on how to waived its Annual Fee since upon checking medyo mataas sya. THANK YOUU

MetroBank Credit Card Limit Increase

Just want to share, one year na CC ko last February and wala akong Limit Increase. Nag request ako yesterday morning for CLI via CS nila. From 100k nag request ako ng additional 150k and then this morning when I checked my CC sa app naging 250k na yung limit ko. Amazed lng ako sa MB hahah kasi sa UB ko napaka damot sobrang damot ang baba pa ng CL ko. Kayo ba may experience rin ba kayo sa MB?

Metrobank Credit Card Undelivered CC

Has anyone experienced this with their metrobank cc delivery? My card delivery was supposed to be yesterday, but due to work reasons i was not personally there to receive so they marked my card as undelivered.

For those who have been in a similar situation, will they redeliver the card? And will I get a new tracking number or text from MSRV? Thank you for your insights on this!

BPI Rewards Card Auto Upgrade Concern

So recently, my BPI Rewards Card increased to ₱300,000. I’m content with this type of card because the annual fee is only ₱1,550 and it’s still waivable. Question ko lang, does BPI automatically upgrade credit cards to a higher card type without the cardholder’s consent? Medyo worried lang ako because parang hindi na pang-Rewards Card yung credit limit ko. And I really don’t want higher annual fees ever 😅

Anyone here na naka-BPI Rewards Card din with a credit limit higher than ₱300,000? Curious lang if may same setup sakin 😄

Atome Card Overdue - Never Again

I have been a good payer of Atome for almost 2 years. But recently, due to a work layoff and financial constraint, I’ve lapsed my payment and is now overdue for my installment payment. A while ago, I received a message that says they want to negotiate and discuss payment terms at 6:24 am. Around 6:30 am, I’ve been awaken by 2 calls regarding with Atome payment settlement. The staff was good at first, but when I stated my condition and discussed on how I can ease my payments and asked for extension, he said that there is no option but to pay and asked when will I settle my account. I understand that it is borrowed money, but I thought that you want to discuss terms and yet reject your customers of the terms that you’ve mentioned. I have been jobless and in need of extended amount of time to settle. I was tired all day yesterday to look for a job, but awaken this morning with this.

Wait until I settled my account and will leave you for good atome. Never again.

Metrobank SCC (World Mastercard)

I have always wanted a Metrobank World Mastercard because I believe that it fits my lifestyle. I've applied for that card specifically two months ago, and I was rejected. I don't wanna wait for a few more months to apply for it again and not have a guarantee of getting that specific card.

So, my plan is to get a secured credit card (SCC), provide the holdout amount into an online time deposit because as far as I know, that's 4% plus per annum. I don't have a problem with the holdout amount because I have that amount.

What I'm just wondering is if I could get an approval for that secured credit card, Metrobank World Mastercard, considering that I was just recently rejected for that card.

Is this a good idea?

RCBC CC Approved in Higher Tier Card

Hi! As the title says, I applied for an RCBC Gold Mastercard CC in time for their NAFFL promo. But I got approved for a Black Platinum card instead.

Does this mean my spending requirement to avail the NAFFL promo increased? I specifically applied for Gold because I only need to spend a minimum of 40k but for Black Plat it's 60k.

Medyo nagwoworry ako kase ayoko sana lumagpas ng 20k-23k yung gastos ko per month.

Thank you po in advance sa sasagot!

Debt with UB but portion is disputed

Hi,

My account with UB is OD already and my debt has reached Php456k. However, a portion of this was galing sa fraudulent transaction which I disputed. My phone was stolen from me back in December 2023, but I was too late to report to UB kaya nagamit ng magnanakaw yung card ko. I disputed the transactions, but UB said they consider them valid kasi may valid OTP and blamed me for not reporting it sooner (malamang wala ako phone that time so I couldn’t report asap).

In the days after they refused my dispute, I continued to use my card with UB pero yung transactions ko lang binabayaran ko. Fast forward to today, lumobo na siya to the point na yung monthly ko was just for the December 2023 transaction, so I stopped paying. Now sabi ni UB they may endorse my account na to a collection agency. I want to refuse paying the entire amount kasi hindi naman siya sa akin. Any idea for next steps?

And additional background: I have Metrobank CC and auto loan with BDO. I faithfully pay both on time and in full. Good thing approved na pareho before humabol si UB.
