GCash reigns as the No.1 finance app in PH – App Annie data

Android and iOS Filipino users have chosen GCash as their finance app of choice now and even before the Pandemic, according to data from App Annie, the leading mobile data and analytics company, which found GCash as the top downloaded finance app with the most number of active users.

According to App Annie, a reputable global app ranking authority, GCash has recorded a breakthrough of over 10 million app downloads in just the first nine months of 2020, and registering a whopping 130 percent app active user growth in September compared to the beginning of the year.

Since January 202, GCash has been consistent in staying at the top spot for the two categories, reflecting the Filipino’s choice for their digital banking and finance needs and helping more people participate in the financial landscape.

“Once again, GCash proved that it is indeed the leading fintech app in the country as it is the most trusted and partner finance app of Filipinos in navigating the pandemic towards the new normal,” GCash President and CEO Martha Sazon said.

With a 13 percent average monthly growth, this reflects the Filipinos’ growing reliance on digital finance to manage their personal finances and to carry on with their daily lives while also staying safe with contactless transactions provided by fintech apps like GCash.

“We saw GCash downloads and active user base reach remarkable heights in the span of months during the pandemic as Filipinos are adjusting to the stay-at-home lifestyle. We observed how people rapidly adopted the use of fintech apps in their everyday lives and how it impacted their way of life. And we are proud to say that GCash is leading the revolution towards that cashless lifestyle of the Filipinos,” Sazon said.

With GCash, people are empowered to do more even in the comforts of their homes. They can shop and do contactless payments via QR codes or online modes of payment via send money. They can also pay their bills, send money to bank accounts or to any GCash account, buy load, save money, borrow money, invest, get insured, and many others.

Aside from consumers, GCash has also empowered businesses to thrive in the pandemic by providing them with enterprise-grade payments, disbursements, and even digital rewards solutions to bring them closer to their customers.

GCash is also a strong partner of the government in the collective fight to win the national health situation. It has assisted both the national and various local governments in disbursing financial assistance to those who were adversely affected by the pandemic.
