Palawan Group of Companies Expands Financial Services Through Partnership with GCash
As the Palawan Group of Companies celebrates its 40th anniversary, it marks another milestone by strengthening its financial services through a partnership with GCash, the country’s leading mobile wallet. This collaboration introduces the GCash Cash In and Cash Out service to more than 3,500 Palawan Express Pera Padala (PEPP) branches nationwide.
Accessible Financial Solutions for Every Filipino
With this rollout, GCash users can conveniently convert their digital funds into physical cash—and vice versa—through Palawan Pawnshop outlets for a minimal fee. Known for its “serbisyong mura, mabilis, walang kuskos-balungos” (affordable, fast, and hassle-free service), the Palawan Group continues to champion financial inclusion, especially in underserved and remote communities.
“This milestone partnership brings together two companies with a shared purpose: to empower every Filipino through accessible and reliable financial solutions,” said Lisa Lou Castro-Sabado, Chief Business Development Officer of the Palawan Group. “With our extensive network and deep commitment to grassroots communities—the very core of Pusong Palawan—this collaboration with GCash is a major step in ensuring that Filipinos have access to vital financial services.”
Serving Underserved and Remote Areas
According to Jong Layug, Head of GCash for Business, “This partnership makes it simple for our users to convert digital money into physical cash. The Palawan Group’s extensive branch network enables us to serve even more Filipinos.”
Despite the rise in digital payments, many Filipinos, especially in far-flung areas, still depend on cash for daily transactions. This initiative bridges that gap by enabling customers to cash in or cash out at any PEPP branch nationwide.
Expanding Beyond Cash Transactions
In addition to GCash Cash In and Cash Out services, the Palawan Group of Companies is also working with GCash to integrate its insurance offerings into GInsure, making Palawan’s insurance products more accessible to millions of GCash users.
