GCash has signed a memorandum of agreement with the local government of Victorias City, Negros Occidental, to deliver safe and convenient digital solutions to constituents for their tax and fee payments, in line with its “Finance for All” vision.

Victorias City will be the first LGU to scale up their GCash payment acceptance to more than just real property and business taxes, a GCash press release said Tuesday, July 11.

Under the agreement, locals will now be able to use the GCash QR payment method to pay for professional tax and transfer tax, including registration fees such as marriage license fee, service and user charges, income from economic enterprise, Gawahon entrance fee, market rental charge, and payments for Victorias Hotel accommodation, City Resort entrance fee, City Resort cottage rental charge, parking fees, and more, it said.

“Consumers and businesses around the country are increasingly shifting to cashless payment methods for their day-to-day needs, and we are grateful to have partnered with GCash as we continue to step up and adapt quickly to serve our constituents better. Together with GCash, we will continue to ensure that our citizens are equipped with the right digital financial tools and solutions,” Mayor Javier Miguel L. Benitez said.*
