GCash and CIMB Bank offer up to 7% p.a. interest with GSave
The GSave feature has been live in the GCash app since December 2018 in partnership with CIMB Bank. It has been providing unbanked Filipinos with the opportunity to open a savings account that requires no initial deposit, maintaining balance, or lock-in period.
A study conducted by GCash revealed that one out of every 5 banked adults has a GSave account, while a total of 5.3 million users have registered to GSave by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
“At GCash, we continuously strive to realize our vision of financial inclusion for all which is why we try to address the barrier between unbanked Filipinos and having a savings account. With GSave, we are enabling more Filipinos to grow their finances and build a better future for themselves and their loved ones,” said Martha Sazon, president and CEO of GCash.
The partnership with CIMB Bank has been helping GCash support the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ thrust to grow the number of Filipinos with a formal bank account by up to 70% in 2023. Based on estimates from monetary authorities, the number of banked Filipino adults has already increased to 41 million as of the third quarter of 2021, or around 53% of total adult Filipinos.
