The digital finance space is no stranger to fraudsters. But GCash is proving that innovation and protection can go hand in hand. Here’s how they’re changing the game:

1 Device, 1 Account Policy: This strict policy ensures that only the user’s registered device can access their GCash account as a deterrent against unauthorized access.
Blocking Modified Devices: GCash takes a hard stance against vulnerability. By restricting access from jailbroken or rooted devices, the app guarantees a secure environment.
DoubleSafe Authentication: Your MPIN and OTP may be compromised, but your identity isn’t. GCash’s facial recognition feature adds an unbreakable second layer of protection.
AI-Powered Risk Detection: With cybercriminals tapping into artificial intelligence to orchestrate scams, GCash stays two steps ahead. Real-time behavior monitoring and AI-driven tools detect threats before they escalate, ensuring your transactions are not just fast—but fortified.

“GCash has grown exponentially in the Philippines, and we believe the next wave of growth is international,” said Paul Albano, GCash International General Manager. “Our mission for financial inclusion extends beyond the Philippines to our overseas Filipinos as well. We recognize the growing population of migrants in the US and want to make it easier for them to send money home, pay bills, and invest in their future. At the core of everything we do is user safety and security.”
