Globe subscribers riding the Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT) daily can now enjoy the combined convenience of paying for their transit fares along with cashless shopping and bills payment with the new GCash beep Mastercard.
The GCash beep Mastercard is the first value-added card to be beep ready. This allows cardholders to load and pay for their MRT and LRT trips easily, without having to line-up; saving the user time and energy.
It functions not only solely as a reloadable contactless tap and go card for LRT/MRT passengers, it is also accepted as a payment option at popular online shopping sites and in almost 33 million establishments worldwide which recognize the Mastercard brand.
At the same time, because it has a GCash account, it can be used to buy prepaid Globe/TM phone load, send money to any Globe/TM user for free, receive remittance, and even withdraw cash from any automated teller machine (ATM). Moreover, GCash beep Mastercard allows balance and transaction monitoring to ensure that everything is properly recorded.
When your account runs out of stored value, you can reload by placing the GCash beep Mastercard on top of the Stored Value Card reader of the Ticket Vending Machine at any LRT/MRT station, choose the Stored Value option on the screen, insert the corresponding amount of money on the slot provided, and wait for the transaction receipt to come out.
On the other hand, to load the GCash account, card owners may visit over 10,000 GCash outlets such as Globe stores, 7-11, Puregold, Tambuting, Villarica, and more or via mobile phone banking.
GCash beep Mastercard may be purchased at various caravans for only PHP 150. The cards may retain a maximum beep stored value of PHP 10,000 valid for 5 years. The GCash wallet, meanwhile, may accommodate as much as PHP 100,000.
