Overseas Filipinos in Bahrain can enjoy zero transfer fees on all remittances to the Philippines as a limited-time offer.
For many OFWs, sending money home helps cover everyday needs, from household expenses and education to healthcare and savings. To make remittances more accessible to Filipinos in Bahrain, Taptap Send has expanded its international network through a partnership with GCash, the Philippines’ #1 finance superapp and largest cashless ecosystem.
The partnership offers OFWs in Bahrain a seamless way to send money directly to GCash accounts. For a limited time, users can enjoy zero transfer fees (standard foreign exchange rates still apply).
The collaboration is part of broader efforts by GCash to work with accredited international partners to provide Filipinos abroad with safer, more convenient ways to send money home. Beyond Bahrain, the service will expand to the United States, including Hawaii (excluding Las Vegas), Canada, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and select European countries including Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Mayotte, the Netherlands, Portugal, Réunion, Slovakia, Spain, Romania, Denmark, Norway, Czechia, Hungary, and Sweden.
“Our partnership with GCash allows us to make it even easier for overseas Filipinos to send money home through a trusted digital platform. By offering convenient transfers, competitive exchange rates, and zero transaction fees in supported corridors, we want to help OFWs make every remittance count and stay connected to the people who matter most,” said Faye Sta. Ana-Corpuz, Taptap Send Head of the Philippines Growth and SEA Expansion.
The partnership also highlights the importance of using official and accredited remittance channels, which provide greater transaction security and traceability while reducing risks associated with unaccredited or difficult-to-trace intermediaries.
“At GCash, we recognize the important role remittances play in helping Filipino families manage their everyday needs and build a more secure financial future. By working with trusted international partners like Taptap Send, we are expanding access to safe, convenient, and reliable ways for Filipinos abroad to send money home while strengthening their connection to the Philippines,”
shared Vice President for International Payments, Carlos Bauza, from GCash International.
For overseas Filipinos in Bahrain, sending money to GCash through TapTap Send is straightforward:
- Open the Taptap Send app and select Philippines as the destination
- Choose GCash as the delivery method
- Enter the recipient’s registered GCash mobile number; the number should start with a Philippine (+63) or Bahrain (+973)
- Ensure the number is correct and complete the transaction
*Zero transfer fees are automatically applied; forex rates apply. This offer is available for a limited time.
The collaboration reflects the growing role of digital financial services in helping overseas Filipinos stay connected with their families and communities in the Philippines, while making cross-border remittances more accessible, secure, and convenient.
