Manila, Philippines – GCash, a finance application, has forged a partnership with Toki, a collectible-focused social e-commerce platform, to establish a community of collector items’ buyers and sellers.
The GCash application will be integrated into the Toki platform, allowing convenience and payment security for its users. This will also give them access to GCredit, a mobile credit line, and GGives, the application’s installment loan service. Meanwhile, sellers can use GCash QR codes to enhance the payment process and user experience.
By the end of the year, Toki will also integrate GCash’s Webpay, which allows end-to-end transactions within the platform or during its livestream auctions. Meanwhile, Toki will also be included in the lifestyle products under the GLife feature next year.
Toki is the first platform dedicated to collectibles in the country, founded by former GCash employees. The idea for launching the platform sprung from the founders’ experience as collectors themselves. Knowing the difficulties faced by local collectors in buying and selling, they formed a platform that is tailored to their needs.
“The founders of Toki, all former members of the GCash team, have a long-standing history with GCash, and through this global partnership, GCash is poised to significantly boost Toki’s growth journey,” Toki co-founder Frederic Levy said.
“Toki is beginning a truly remarkable collaboration with GCash, and the entire team is particularly excited about the support from the number finance super app and largest cashless ecosystem in the Philippines,” Levy added.
Toki was launched in November 2023. Since then, the company has more than 70,000 users and over 200 sellers. Collector items such as sneakers, toys, cards, and more can be found on the platform.
