LATEST: Uber’s Competitor Grab Starts Accepting Bitcoin In The Philippines

Grab users in the Philippines can now fund their GrabPay wallets using cryptocurrencies, thanks to a major partnership between Grab, payments provider Triple-A, and local crypto exchange PDAX. Following a successful launch in Singapore, this move brings more flexibility and convenience to Filipino users by supporting crypto as a new cash-in option.

Users can top up their GrabPay wallets using Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), or Tether (USDT). The process is simple — select ‘Cryptocurrencies’ in the Grab app, choose a supported token and network, enter the amount in pesos, review the details, and send the tokens from your crypto wallet. Funds are reflected instantly upon confirmation.

Triple-A CEO Eric Barbier said the Philippines is ready for digital currencies, while Grab’s CJ Lacsican emphasized the goal of financial inclusion. PDAX CEO Nichel Gaba added that this partnership will support existing crypto users and encourage wider adoption in the country, all while maintaining high standards for safety and compliance.
