GCash Offers Support to Typhoon Carina Victims; Introduces Fee Waivers and Payment Extensions
After Super Typhoon Carina caused a lot of damage, the mobile wallet service GCash has kindly offered its affected users help through its credit subsidiary Fuse Lending. People who borrowed money from the company during the storm will have an extra two weeks to pay back their GLoan and GGives.

"We want to ease the financial stress during these tough times." "That's why we're giving customers whose payments are due between July 21 and July 31, 2024, extra time to make them," said Tony Isidro, President and CEO of Fuse Lending. Customers in Regions III, IV-A, and the National Capital Region will be able to feel better because they can put off loan payments until August without having to pay extra fees.
GCash will also not charge fees for people who use buy load deals worth P59 or less from July 25 at 12 p.m. to July 31. With this change, the company hopes to help customers stay connected, stay up to date, and keep working from home even though the weather is bad.
GCash has also gotten rid of the 0.5% cash-in fee for GCash Pera Outlets to help local convenience stores in places hit by the typhoon. Because of this rule, they can add money to their pockets for free, which makes it easier for them to do things like buy loads, pay their bills, and cash in and cash out.

In an effort to build community spirit during this disaster, GCash is also making it easier for people to donate to different groups working to help in the affected areas. Ren-Ren Reyes, President and CEO of G-Xchange, Inc., which runs the GCash mobile wallet, said, "Our top priority is to help these organizations quickly raise money for aid by taking advantage of GCash's wide reach and impact."
People who use GCash are urged to give to good NGOs like Save the Children, the Ayala Foundation, the ABS-CBN Foundation, the GMA Kapuso Foundation, UNICEF, the Philippine Red Cross, Caritas Manila, and the ABS-CBN Foundation. With the GCash app, you can make donations straight and there are no fees.
To avoid scams, users are told to only give through official channels and deal with organizations they know and trust. Before giving to personal gift drives, you should also do a lot of research.
You can get the GCash app for free from both Google Play and the Apple App Store. You can find out more by going to the official GCash Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/gcashofficial.
