GCash FutureCast 2023: The Future of Fintech
First
launched as an SMS platform in 2005 and later as a super app in 2012, GCash was
the first to introduce the QR payment system
in the country. It
supported the digital migration of Filipinos during the pandemic, and now that
the world has reopened, it expands its services to suit the changing needs of
Filipinos in a global digital financial landscape.
At
this year’s #GCashFutureCast event, GCash ushered in the future of Fintech through 10 ground-breaking
innovations for every Filipino.
Tools for financial freedom
GCash
has made wealth management products like savings, insurance, and investments
easy and accessible. Now it introduces products to help people grow their
wealth and to help them protect it.
GStocks PH is AB Capital Securities, Inc.'s (ABCSI)
online retail securities trading services made accessible through the GCash
app. Its user-friendly and simplified trading interface was designed through a
collaboration with the Philippine Stock Exchange. Through GStocks PH, users can
now trade stocks of over 280 local companies. GStocks PH will be available to
more users soon.
GCrypto allows users to discover and explore the
world of Crypto and NFTs. Users get access to curated NFT collections, like The
House of OhLala by Filipino contemporary artist, Reen Barrera, on the GCrypto
NFT Hub. Buying and selling Crypto is
also made easier with an exchange powered by PDAX, the Philippines’ leading
homegrown cryptocurrency exchange.
GInsure Online Shopping Protect insurance offers
users 60 days of coverage up to P20,000 for all their online purchases for just
P34. The insurance covers scenarios when orders are not delivered, are
accidentally damaged, are not as described, or are stolen. The insurance
product, powered by Chubb, is embedded in the user’s online GCash payment
journey across 1,500 online shops and platforms.
GCash goes global
Traveling
Filipinos can now go cashless globally using GCash’s newest services. For
overseas Filipinos, they can now use GCash to send money and support to their
family back home.
GCash Global Pay allows Filipino
travelers to do cross-border QR payments at Alipay+ merchants in Singapore,
Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Qatar, Germany, Italy, France and the United
Kingdom. This eliminates the hassle of paying with cash, or withdrawing money
at ATMs where you can incur high service fees. It offers real-time Forex
charging, with no service fees.
GCash Card gives travelers the advantage of real
time Forex charging at low exchange rates and no service fees. With this, users
can access their funds in a single tap at over 100 million shops across 200
countries and territories around the world through VISA’s expansive network..
This enables travelers to enjoy hassle-free shopping and dining experiences
wherever they may be. The new GCash card
will be available later this year.
GCash Overseas allows overseas
Filipinos in Japan, Australia, Italy and the USA to download GCash using
international SIM cards. Now they can send money, buy load, and pay bills for
their loved ones back home. They can enjoy the convenience of sending money for
free with GCash to GCash transactions, saving them the cost of remittance fees.
GCash also announced that it is now available in the UK and Canada. GCash Overseas is currently on Beta and is
limited to a number of users, but will expand to more users soon.

Improved security and user experience
GCash
has taken steps to make transactions safer and more seamless through two new
features:
GChat is a new, user-friendly messenger
feature that makes it easier to chat and transact with contacts, share receipts
instantly, and trace transaction histories. The feature makes it easier to
search for conversations with friends, merchants or customers, while the Gigi
and Advisories features allow users to get help anytime in real-time. GChat
will be rolling out to users in the next few months.
DoubleSafe is the latest GCash security feature that prevents
fraudsters from taking over accounts. It provides an additional layer of
security on top of the 2-Factor Authentication and mobile pin (MPIN).
DoubleSafe will be activated for every first login to a new mobile phone, and
will use facial recognition to secure an account should the user inadvertently
share their MPIN and OTP to fraudsters
