Rural banks further empower their mobile phone banking clients with a new and exciting ATM Card attached to the GCash wallet, the Rural Bank FaceCard ATM Card. Made possible with the joint support of RBAP, its USAID-supported MABS program, and Globe’s G-Xchange Inc. (GXI), the customizable Rural Bank FaceCard ATM Card allows mobile phone banking clients to withdraw money not just from Globe’s over 18,000 cash-in/cash-out (CICO) outlets, but also from more than 9,000 ATMs or automated teller machines nationwide. It also doubles as a valid ID card containing the client’s photo and signature. Powered by GXI, this new ATM card allows clients to choose among pre-designed themes or upload an image of their own design.

Early this year, Globe launched a major expansion of its GCash Cash-In and Cash-Out (CICO) network. Adding all ATMs nationwide, clients now gain access to over 27,000 GCash cash-out points.  “We have always worked with the rural banks to utilize the power of GCASH to deliver various services for remote payments or money transfer purposes, attuned to the needs of the under-banked customer segments they serve. In-line with the significant growth of the rural banking industry over the past five years, we have now designed a dual function card providing ATM access that also serves as a valid ID appropriate for their customers based in key cities. This is our way of strengthening the link between the under-banked and banked markets serviced by our rural bank partners with the expanded capabilities of our GCash platform,” GXI President Rizza Maniego-Eala said.
