GCash CEO Martha Sazon
This year’s #GCashFutureCast event featured GCash with ten game-changing breakthroughs for every Filipino, ushering in the future of Fintech.
The Future should be Secure and Easy
GCash has taken steps to make transactions safer and more seamless through two new features—the GChat and DoubleSafe
GChat is a new, user-friendly in-app messaging function that allows easier communication with saved contacts. Sharing receipts and tracking of transaction histories no longer will need your gallery to be full of GCash screenshots. The tool makes it simpler to find discussions with friends, merchants, or customers. Gigi feature will now be integrated as well to the new GChat and let users receive assistance in real-time at any moment. GChat will be available to users in the next months.
DoubleSafe is the latest in GCash security that prevents account takeovers by fraudsters. It adds an extra layer of protection to the 2-factor authentication and mobile pin (MPIN). When a user initially logs onto a new mobile phone, DoubleSafe is active, and it uses face recognition to safeguard an account if the user unintentionally shares their MPIN and OTP with fraudsters.
