GCash

GCash is a Philippine mobile payments service owned by Globe Fintech Innovations, Inc. (doing business as Mynt), and operated by its wholly-owned subsidiary, G-Xchange, Inc.[1] Mynt is a joint venture between Ant Group, an affiliate company of the Alibaba Group who operates Alipay, the world's leading mobile and online payments platform; Ayala Corporation, one of the Philippines' largest and oldest business conglomerates; and telco giant Globe Telecom, through its corporate venture builder, 917Ventures.

[citation needed] In 2021, GCredit, a revolving mobile credit line initially powered by Fuse Lending was also transferred to CIMB Bank.

[10][11] GCash's parent company, Mynt, made history as the Philippine's first double unicorn when it announced that it raised $300M in funding last November 2021 at a $2B valuation.

[15] In August 2024, GCash secured additional funding from Ayala Corporation and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, increasing its valuation to $5B.

[24] The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, an attached agency of the Department of Information and Communication Technology, probed the incident and requested a meeting with executives from the mobile wallet's operator.

[25] The National Privacy Commission mentioned that they, too, will be conducting an independent assessment to determine a potential data breach that may have resulted to unauthorized fund transfers.

According to the Privacy Commissioner, John Henry Du Naga, "Unknown threat actors took advantage of vulnerable GCash users, triggering the phishing scheme through online gambling websites such as 'Philwin' and 'tapwin1.com'".
