The Palawan Group of Companies continues to make financial services more accessible to every Filipino with the rollout of its service for GCash’s Cash In and Cash Out. This service will be available in more than 3, 500 Palawan Express Pera Padala (PEPP) branches nationwide.

| Palawan Group now offers GCash Cash In and Out at 3,500+ PEPP branches nationwide—making financial services even more accessible to every Filipino. |
Despite the growing adoption of digital payments, many of our kakabayans, especially in far-flung areas, still rely on cash for their daily transactions. By enabling GCash users to cash out at PEPP outlets, we empower more Filipinos to turn their digital money into cash.
