Filipinos in Saudi Arabia can send money through Enjaz Pay to numbers in the Philippines with zero transfer fees until November 30, 2026, according to a supplied GCash announcement.

The initiative brings together Enjaz Remittance and GCash to reduce the cost of sending financial support home.

For families receiving funds for everyday expenses, schooling, or healthcare, the offer concerns the transfer charge attached to an eligible transaction.

Two separate forms of fee relief

The announcement outlines two benefits for based in Saudi Arabia.

The first is a 0 SAR transfer fee for sending money to a GCash number in the Philippines using Enjaz Pay.

The second concerns GCash Bills Pay and Buy Load service fees, which the company says will be returned through cashback.

These work differently: the remittance offer removes the transfer fee, while the Bills Pay and Buy Load benefit refunds service fees already incurred.

The supplied release does not specify cashback crediting times, caps, registration steps, or detailed exclusions.

Receiving remittances directly in a wallet

GCash said eligible recipients can receive international remittances directly in their wallets, removing the need to collect funds at a physical remittance center.

The company said it has developed its inbound international remittance network since 2018 and works with more than 78 international money transfer providers.

Named partners in the release include Western Union, Ria, Remitly, and Taptap Send.

GCash International General Manager Jonathan Que described reducing remittance costs as part of the company’s continuing efforts to help overseas Filipinos support their families.

The company also said it introduced outbound international transfers to 16 countries in March 2026, extending its services beyond receiving funds from abroad.

For the Saudi Arabia initiative, users should check the applicable transaction conditions before sending money or using the cashback offer. A waived transfer fee should not be interpreted as a guarantee about exchange rates or other charges that the announcement does not address.
