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.
