EastWest adds debit cards to Google Pay for mobile tap-to-pay transactions
EastWest Banking Corporation has integrated its debit cards with Google Pay. Customers can link their EastWest debit cards to Google Wallet to pay for purchases with a simple smartphone tap. This feature allows users to complete secure mobile payments in physical stores, online shops, and international locations. The Google Pay integration transforms a compatible Android device or wearable into a digital wallet. The Visa global network supports these EastWest debit cards and ensures merchant acceptance worldwide. With this, users do not need to carry physical cards for their everyday coffee runs, grocery checkouts, or international trips.EastWest provides robust security features through its digital banking ecosystem where cardholders manage their debit cards directly within the EasyWay App. The application includes a lock and unlock function to protect users against unauthorized transactions.Furthermore, EastWest Priority clients with Visa Infinite Debit Cards receive additional travel benefits. The bank applies a low foreign exchange fee of 1.7 percent, but a current promotion waives these conversion fees until March 31, 2026. These cardholders also get waived interbank domestic withdrawal fees and complimentary international ATM withdrawals.EastWest recently introduced credit cards on Google Pay before the bank expanded the feature to debit cardholders. EastWest CEO Jerry Ngo stated this move reflects the goal of the bank to modernize its financial services. “By enabling EastWest Debit Cards on Google Pay, we are giving our customers an easier way to pay — one that fits naturally into how they live, travel, and shop today. This is part of our broader commitment to deliver secure, globally competitive digital solutions for Filipinos,” Ngo said.
