Millions of Filipinos in the United States continue to have access to safe and instant remittance services to the Philippines as the country’s leading finance app and largest cashless ecosystem GCash reinforced its commitment to protect users through cutting-edge cybersecurity measures and fraud protection programs.

After launching its services in the US in March 2023, GCash has enabled over four million Filipinos to download GCash using their U.S. mobile numbers, allowing them to securely send money back to the Philippines instantly anytime, anywhere and cash-in in real time, or even pay bills for personal investments back home. Users that still have valid Filipino government-issued IDs may create a GCash wallet to access the GCash suite of services, while those who no longer have IDs can still download and use the app to send money.

GCash employs a strict "1 Device, 1 Account" policy, ensuring that only the registered device can access a user's account. This prevents cybercriminals from logging in from unauthorized devices and significantly reduces the risk of hacking.

To further enhance security, GCash has also introduced a feature that blocks access from modified, jailbroken, or rooted devices. By allowing the app to run only on devices with standard security settings, GCash prevents potential vulnerabilities that fraudsters might exploit.

GCash launched "DoubleSafe", an additional layer of authentication that requires facial recognition during login attempts. Even if a user's Mobile Personal Identification Number (MPIN) and One-Time Password (OTP) are compromised, this feature ensures that only the rightful account owner can gain access.

Recognizing that cybercriminals are now leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to carry out scams, GCash has integrated AI-driven security tools that analyze user behavior and account activity in real time. These tools proactively assess risks and detect unusual activity, helping GCash stay ahead of fraudulent schemes before they even happen.

"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.”
