One standard for banks and wallets

Before QR Ph, a GCash code worked in GCash and a bank’s code in that bank’s app. The standard made them interchangeable, and QR Ph payments move over InstaPay, the country’s real-time transfer service.

Paying a code

The request carries the payload exactly as the camera read it; the code identifies the recipient’s bank or wallet. If the code carries an amount, pay that amount. Peso amounts allow centavos.
