Bringing a Faster, More Secure Checkout Experience to Filipino Businesses

The way Filipinos shop is changing. Customers want speed, security, and a seamless payment experience—whether they’re checking out on their favorite e-commerce site, subscribing to a service, or paying through a merchant’s app.

Today, we’re excited to share a major milestone in delivering that experience: PayMongo now supports Google Pay in the Philippines, giving merchants a modern, globally trusted payment option right at checkout.  

This means businesses can now offer customers a faster, more secure, tap-and-go-style payment flow—powered by tokenization and designed for higher conversion on mobile.

Why This Matters for Filipino Merchants

A trusted global wallet, now available locally

Millions of consumers already use Google Pay on Android devices worldwide. Bringing this to Philippine merchants instantly boosts familiarity and trust at checkout—especially for mobile-first shoppers.

Higher conversion with secure, tokenized payments

Google Pay uses device-based tokens, letting customers complete purchases with a single tap using credentials securely stored on their phone. This reduces friction and significantly improves the likelihood of completing a transaction.  

Enhanced protection for every transaction

Each Google Pay payment includes device-specific tokens and multi-factor authentication, strengthening both fraud protection and customer confidence. For merchants, this means safer transactions without additional operational overhead.

A Partnership Built on Shared Vision

PayMongo’s mission has always been clear: to build the financial infrastructure that empowers businesses of all sizes in the Philippines. Supporting Google Pay strengthens that mission by giving merchants access to tools used by the world’s most innovative digital brands.

Our CEO, Jojo Malolos, captures it perfectly:

“This integration gives Filipino businesses access to a globally trusted payment option that helps improve conversion and customer satisfaction.”  

Prep Palacios, Country Manager of Google Philippines, also emphasizes the shared commitment to the country’s digital growth:

“This launch underscores our enduring commitment to accelerating financial inclusion and fueling the next chapter of the Philippines’ dynamic digital economy.”  

This partnership is more than a feature release—it’s a step forward in building a more seamless, inclusive, and future-ready digital commerce ecosystem for the Philippines.

Modern Payments for a Modern Philippines

As PayMongo expands from a payment gateway into the financial infrastructure powering Filipino businesses, partnerships like Google Pay play a crucial role. They strengthen merchant capability, elevate customer experience, and move the country’s digital economy forward in meaningful ways.

With Google Pay, merchants now have a checkout experience designed for today’s shoppers—and built for tomorrow’s growth.
