A small barangay in Quezon City is leading the digital transformation as the first to offer its residents cashless payment options to settle barangay and other fees.
Barangay St. Ignatius, home to over 2,000 residents, is the first barangay to partner with GCash for its BillsPay services. Through Pay Bills in App and Scan-to-Pay services, residents of St Ignatius can now easily settle fees such as rentals, certificates, and clearances securely and conveniently, anytime, anywhere, using the GCash app.
This initiative addresses the barangay’s need for cashless payment options, further strengthening Quezon City’s push for digital payments.
“GCash remains committed to driving financial inclusion by making cashless transactions accessible to ordinary Filipinos, through this initiative with Brgy. St. Ignatius, we are empowering communities by providing them with a more convenient way for constituents to fulfill their obligations. This also marks the beginning of the digitalization of the barangays in the country,” said GCash regional head for public sector Rafael Antonio Tecson.
With the launch of digital payments in Barangay St. Ignatius, residents can now enjoy a faster, safer, and more convenient way to pay their dues—eliminating the need for cash and long queues. As GCash continues to expand its cashless ecosystem, more barangays are expected to adopt this innovation, bringing the convenience of digital transactions closer to communities nationwide.
This partnership further reinforces GCash’s mission to bring digital financial services to every Filipino, even at the grassroots level, ensuring faster, safer, and more efficient transactions in local communities.
