GCash's lending arm Fuse Financing has disbursed P451 billion in loans life-to-date, up 57 percent from the previous year, serving more than 11.5 million unique borrowers.
Mynt is also broadening its financial-services ecosystem. GInsure has provided coverage to 21.8 million users, while GSave has reached 17.9 million users. GFunds has 9.2 million users, GCrypto 5.2 million and GStocks 2 million registered users.
What’s next
Mynt filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a listing application with the Philippine Stock Exchange in July for its proposed IPO.
The offering remains subject to SEC registration and PSE listing requirements, market conditions, final offer terms and internal approvals, meaning the company has not yet committed to completing the listing under specific terms.
