EastWest leads the way with Google Pay™

Among the first Philippine banks to champion secure, seamless mobile payments

EastWest takes another bold step in digital innovation as it becomes one of the first Philippine banks to launch Google Pay™, enabling EastWest Visa and Mastercard Credit cardholders to make faster, safer, and more convenient payments using their Android devices.

This milestone is part of EastWest’s deliberate strategy to redefine how Filipinos pay by leveraging technology to make everyday transactions simpler, smarter, and more secure. Through Google Wallet™, customers can easily add their EastWest cards and enjoy tap-to-pay convenience at any contactless-enabled terminal, or checkout online without manually entering card details.

Every transaction is safeguarded by advanced tokenization technology backed by EastWest’s trusted security systems, which replaces actual card numbers with unique digital codes. Merchants never see or store real card information; giving customers confidence and control every time they pay.

Just tap and go when you link your Maya Credit Card to Google Pay!

Filipinos practically run their entire lives on their phones — checking group chats, booking rides, and juggling a dozen errands in between. But even with everything going digital, paying with your phone can still slow you down – especially with QR codes. Scanning with your phone, waiting for SMS confirmation, or having cashiers take screenshots and double-check a QR payment? Suddenly, your quick stop turns into a waiting game.
