GCash revamps app for reinforced security, easier navigation and better user experience

GCash, the Philippines’ no. 1 mobile wallet, has updated its app to offer more convenient transactions, new features and services, and most importantly, reinforced security, all packaged in a fresh and user-friendly interface for Filipinos.

GCash encourages users to update their apps to enjoy the new look and improved security features

“The GCash app upgrade is, in large part, a result of our customers’ feedback, which we value immensely. We are grateful to the users who have made GCash a success with their insights and continued use and support of the app that also, hopefully, makes managing their finances and overall digital lifestyle safer and more convenient.” said GCash head of digital experience Michelle Fernandez-Castillo.

Along with the evolving everyday needs of GCash customers – the GCash app revamp further strengthens navigability, simplicity, and overall relevance to users while boosting security.

Better in-app navigation is seen with the “Cash In” option placed beside the “Available Balance” for a more intuitive deposit. App icons are also re-grouped according to their uses with the most commonly used features such as Send, Load, Transfer & Bills at the upper row followed by financial services and entertainment at the second and third rows. Aside from that, GCash now includes a “my favorites” section so you can easily find what you need on the app – whether that’s your utility provider to easily pay all your bills on the app or your favorite merchant from among thousands of leading brands on GCash.

With this new update, the GCash app's security has been further intensified as well so users can manage their finances and lifestyle without stress or worry. Activating the biometrics login option is now easier for smartphones with biometric scanners while keeping the MPIN option available. A few steps is all it will take to put this safer log-in option in place.

Since its launch in 2004, GCash has strived to achieve financial inclusion and make Filipinos’ everyday lives better by continuously innovating to improve the app's overall safety and experience, which has led to the growth of the app’s user base to over 69 million users today.

To reap the benefits of all the new features, update your GCash app regularly as more exciting things are coming in the following months.

The GCash app is available for free on the Google Play, App Store, and Huawei AppGallery.
