MANILA, Philippines — Every day, millions of Filipinos buy chicken from Jollibee, shop at SM, or use
BDO and Globe services. Imagine turning those everyday moments into real ownership. With GStocks
PH, the in-app stock trading platform powered by broker AB Capital Securities, Inc. (ABSCI), becoming
a stock market investor is now as simple and accessible as sending money or paying a bill on your
phone.
GStocks PH currently serves over 2 million users, accounting for more than 50% of all online retail stock
market accounts with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE)—making GCash the country’s leading digital
gateway to the stock market.
“The transition of GCash from an everyday payments app into the platform of choice for retail investors is
part of our commitment to empowering every Filipino with accessible and secure ways to secure their
long-term financial security,” said Darvin Sy Su, GCash General Manager for Wealth Management.
To support this growth, fostering greater financial literacy remains a priority move for GCash. Recognizing
that bridging Filipinos—many of whom are newcomers to digital finance—to investment products like
stocks, bonds, and funds requires more than just convenience, GCash is heavily focused on equipping
users with the knowledge needed to make informed financial decisions. Providing easy access to
guidance directly drives investor adoption, giving everyday Filipinos the confidence to take their first steps
into stock investing.
