China Banking Corporation (Chinabank) is taking another confident step in its digital journey as it introduces Google Pay compatibility for its Mastercard and Visa credit and debit cards, following its official launch on November 18, 2025.

CHINABANK AND GOOGLE PAY UNLOCK A FAST, SECURE TAP-TO-PHONE PAYMENT EXPERIENCE

With this launch, Chinabank stands alone as the only issuing bank in the Philippines that enables Google Pay for all its cardholders — Visa or Mastercard, debit or credit — delivering unmatched accessibility and convenience. This move strengthens the Bank’s commitment to modern financial experiences under its brand promise “Focused on You,” and marks a significant stride toward more intuitive, secure, and user-friendly ways for customers to transact both in the Philippines and abroad.

As tap-to-pay becomes a familiar part of daily life for many Android users, Chinabank’s collaboration with Google Pay is poised to accelerate the shift away from cash, offering cardholders fast, contactless, and highly secure transactions both locally and internationally.

Chinabank’s integration with Google Pay ensures quick and secure digital payments bringing added ease to everyday transactions. Mobile wallets have become central to modern convenience, and this integration makes checkout even simpler by allowing users to tap, authenticate, and go. Combined with robust security through tokenization, customers enjoy a seamless shift through this broader move toward cashless convenience across the country.

“Our collaboration with Google Pay reinforces our commitment to make everyday banking simpler and more meaningful for our customers,”
