GCash, CICC Team Up to Protect Users Against Fraud and Cybercrime #GCash #Fraud #Cybercrime

With over 69 million registered users to date, GCash, the country’s leading mobile wallet in the country, has signed a memorandum of agreement with the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), as part of GCash’s relentless campaign against fraudsters and scammers.
During the signing ceremony, GCash chief customer officer Winsley Bangit said this partnership is also in line with GCash’s vision of “Finance for All,” wherein all Filipinos can benefit from the digital economy and have full confidence and trust that their funds are safe with GCash.
Officials from the CICC also graced the event, namely OIC executive director Asec. James Layug, MNSA, OIC division chief of the intelligence processing division Nathaniel Rabonza, special assistant to the Cybercrime Investigation Office police colonel Weneco Fuentes, and OIC director for Cybercrime Investigation Office Cleo Dongga-as.
“The signing of this agreement couldn’t have come at a better time as 69 million or four out of every five Filipino adults are now placing their trust on GCash. We appreciate this immense support, which also serves as a compelling reminder that we must continue improving and innovating to protect our customers from ever-present cyber threats and other types of scams,” Bangit said.
Under the agreement, GCash and CICC will strengthen collaboration to go after perpetrators involved in phishing, smishing, online fraud, e-scams, vishing, and other cybercrimes that utilize the GCash app.
With the ever-growing GCash user base, GCash Chief Legal Officer Atty. Maria Corazon PMR Alvarez-Adriano also said that the company now deems it even more necessary to take an even more active role to ensure that its user’s data are protected and that they can continue to enjoy GCash and its convenient digital financial services securely and safely.
“Through our joint efforts and commitment, we will be able to achieve more in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of cybercrimes. I would also like to take this opportunity to assure the CICC that GCash will do whatever it can in order to provide successful implementation of this MOA,” Atty. Alvarez-Adriano said.
The agreement will also facilitate cooperation on intelligence, investigation, operations, training, and capacity building in terms of clamping down on various types of scams. Highlighting the importance of educating Filipinos on cybersecurity, GCash and CICC will also jointly promote anti-cybercrime programs, campaigns, and activities. The MOA also aims to enhance coordination and operational assistance with other government agencies and LGUs.
“The CICC shall undertake the realization of these responsibilities with respect to our common values and common vision for a cyber-safe and cyber-resilient Philippines. We thank you (GCash) for your partnership and look forward to the accomplishments we will achieve together. Our actions today to safeguard people in cyberspace will shape the Philippines of tomorrow,” Asec. Layug said.

#GCash Officially Rolls Out in the United States Enabling Filipinos to Sign up with US Numbers

GCash Overseas has officially landed in the United States, allowing the first 1,000 Filipinos there to sign up for the Philippines’ number one financial app by using their US mobile numbers.
Filipinos in the US can begin signing up for GCash regardless of their SIM cards and start supporting their families back home by sending money for free (GCash to GCash), paying bills, and buying them prepaid load credits.
“We’re excited to serve our over four million kababayans in the US as we prepare for a full launch later this year,” said Martha Sazon, president and CEO of GCash. “With strong support from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), we are able to make significant headway in achieving our vision of ‘Finance for All’ as we reach more Filipinos all over the world.”
Earlier this month, GCash received the green light from the BSP to start the initial launch of its overseas service which allowed Filipinos in Japan, Australia, and Italy to use GCash using any SIM from those countries. This has made GCash the first and only e-wallet in the Philippines to offer this kind of service overseas.
In just a few easy steps, Filipinos in the US and the initial three countries can begin using GCash. First, they just need to download the app from Google Play Store for Android, the App Store for iPhone and iPad users, or the Huawei Gallery. Then, users can select their country and input their details. To verify their account, they just need to scan their Philippine passport or other valid IDs and take a selfie.
Users in the US and Australia can also cash in for free via Remitly. They just have to download or open their Remitly app, select GCash as the e-wallet; enter the recipient’s name and mobile numbers; confirm the details and transfer the amount; and receive the funds straight in the GCash Overseas wallet. Finally, fully verified users can start sending money, paying bills, and buying load wherever they are, with just a few taps on the app.
Aside from making GCash services available to more Filipinos worldwide, the e-wallet has also been continuously expanding its international payments touchpoints in partnership with global fintech giant, Alipay+. GCash can now be used to pay in select merchants across countries like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Qatar as well as top European destinations like the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy.

“Women are often referred to as the ‘ilaw ng tahanan’, something that many families rely on.
