JRS Express taps GCash for payments

MANILA, Philippines — Filipino express delivery firm JRS Express has teamed up with mobile wallet GCash to secure payments for their users.

A total of 430 JRS branches are now on-board with GCash’s Quick Response Code (QR Code), which enables customers to pay with ease using the app on their smartphones.

“We have been looking forward to this partnership as we know that going digital and going cashless is the way to go. We know that through digital payments, we can ensure faster and convenient transactions, JRS chairman and chief executive officer and president Antonio Claparols.

JRS provides express delivery service as well as other value-added logistics services to consumers and businesses through its extensive and reliable nationwide network present in 90 percent of the populated areas of the country covering about 30,000 barangays.

Since the company’s humble beginnings in 1960, it has grown to over 430 branches and satellite stations operating a substantial fleet of delivery vehicles nationwide – including a modernized operation and a tracking system for its delivery network.

“This partnership with JRS is a welcome collaboration which enables us to share fast, secure and convenient cashless technology to their customers.  We continue to be true to our commitment to onboard more and more partners to embrace this innovation,” said Anthony Thomas, president and CEO of Globe Fintech Innovations Inc. (Mynt), the operator of GCash.

GCash said they are also looking forward to expanding their partnership with JRS Express by adopting more services in the near future.

Mynt is a company owned by Globe Telecom Inc., Ayala Corp. and Ant Financial, an affiliate of Jack Ma’s Alibaba Group.

GCash ended 2019 with 75,000 QR merchants, 30,000 cash-in points and 400 partner billers who accept GCash payments.
