GCash, Globe Telecoms' mobile e-wallet service, continues to expand its digital ecosystem as it now has over 51 million registered users across the Philippines. This translates to around 70 percent of Filipino adults who have a GCash account.
The leading finance app has already breached its initial full-year target of ₱3 trillion in gross transaction value, which is three times more than last year’s record number. GCash’s user engagement also continues to grow, with the app being used on average more than 2.5 times a day by active users. Daily logins have likewise peaked at 23 million this year.
GCash maintains the largest digital ecosystem in the country, giving users access to a merchant and social seller base of about 3.9 million digital touchpoints. Its GLife in-app e-commerce platform has accelerated Filipinos’ shift to a digital lifestyle by bannering more than 250 merchant partners across various categories.
Aside from payments and money transfers, GCash’s expansive set of financial services now includes savings, loans, insurance, and investment. GInsure for instance offers a variety of life & health insurance products made more accessible to customers nationwide.
GCash recently announced that it had raised over $300 million in funding, valuing the company at over $2 billion.
