GCash unveils 10 groundbreaking innovations today! The Future of FinTech is here with GCash, the No.1 Finance Super App

“GCash has empowered and enabled every Filipino to remain hopeful and pursue progress. As the Philippines’ #1 Finance Super App and the first finance app to be a household name in the country, GCash is positioned to be everyone’s enabler to be future-ready. With the 10 new innovations at GCash, our hopes for a better tomorrow begins today.” ~Martha Sazon, GCash CEO


Over 79 million people in the Philippines use GCash, the Philippines' most popular finance app, for quick, secure, and easy online transactions. GCash, which is based on Data.ai, a reputable third-party platform, has the most downloads, the most monthly active users, and even the most daily active users because GCash is now a part of their daily routine.




GCash was the first to introduce the QR payment system in the country, initially launching as an SMS platform in 2005 and later as a super app in 2012. During the pandemic, it helped Filipinos migrate digitally, and now that the world is open again, it expands its services to meet the shifting requirements of Filipinos in the global digital financial landscape.

GCash introduced ten ground-breaking innovations for every Filipino at this year's #GCashFutureCast event.

GCash has always strived to uplift the lives of Filipinos each day. GCash continue to do so with 10 Groundbreaking Innovations this year.
