A lot of people are usually discouraged by the complexities of investment because of the risks of losing money. To make investing more accessible and affordable to Filipinos, GCash, the mobile wallet app, streamlines the whole investment process with the launch of its latest product, GInvest.
GInvest is the first-ever digital investment platform which allows Filipinos as young as 18 years old and with a valid ID to explore investments and conveniently grow their wealth through a tap of their GCash app. “We want people to learn how to invest and understand the benefits of investing their savings. With GInvest, they are able to put in as low as ₱50 and make it earn so they can use the returns to buy whatever they want,” said Martha Sazon, President and CEO of Mynt, the company behind GCash.
To give Filipinos a sneak peek of what to expect in this breakthrough product, GCash recently mounted a webinar called GCash Money Talks: Gustong Mag-invest But Don’t Know How?
It’s first episode featured digital creators in the fields of lifestyle, entertainment and finance such as Melissa Ricks, Thea Bautista, and Lou Sanchez, the event educated viewers on the fundamentals of investment: what to consider, how to do it, and what you get out of it in an easily digestible way. It also empowered Filipinos to take charge of their finances and identify their goals to achieve their dreams, whether it be for saving for their family or adding to their personal travel fund.
How GInvest Works
Money Market Fund - the more traditional way of investing such as time deposits, using this as a place to park your money before investing.
Philippine Total Return Bond Fund - lets users invest in bonds in local companies and the government
