3 ways to transfer money without touching money
As we face a global COVID-19 pandemic, we must take a step back and rethink the ways we interact with people and the things around us in order to avoid the risk of virus transmission.
Public health officials recommend that we stay home, stay a safe distance away from one another if we do need to go outside, and always wash our hands. But there is something that we all handle almost daily that can be another way for the coronavirus to spread — and that way is money. Bills and coins are touched by tens of thousands of people in its usable lifespan, and for that same reason it can become a way for germs and viruses, such as COVID-19, to spread.
But can we really avoid using cash?
With GCash, you can definitely do so! In fact, now is the best time for you to join the cashless economy — not only to avoid touching cash, but to avoid going out altogether and exposing yourself to the virus.
