  • GoTyme Bank is now among the top 4 banks in monthly active app users and top 5 in Instapay sends, placing it in league with the country's largest financial institutions.
GoTyme Bank, one of the country’s fastest-growing banks, announced major milestones in user growth, financial trust, and service expansion in its Q2 update — signaling strong momentum as it redefines how Filipinos experience banking.
“In under three years, 6.5 million Filipinos have chosen to upgrade their banking experience with GoTyme Bank,” said Nate Clarke, GoTyme Bank CEO. “GoTyme users spent over P10.5 billion on the GoTyme Bank card in the last three months and in the past year has been used in over 100 countries meaning GoTyme customers are not just using the card here, they are taking us with them as they explore the world.”
GoTyme Bank is now among the top 4 banks in monthly active app users and top 5 in Instapay sends, placing it in league with the country’s largest financial institutions. “These are not just numbers—it’s a signal. A signal that our mission to make banking more simple, more reliable, and more beautiful is resonating,” Clarke added.
Trusted with over P30 Billion in deposits
As of today, GoTyme Bank holds over P30 billion in customer deposits, a staggering achievement that requires a high level of diligence and security tech. In response to its growing depositor base, GoTyme Bank introduced tighter authentication controls, including mandatory biometric checks when relinking devices, to better protect customers against phishing scams. The bank also has enhanced fraud detection systems to catch threats faster and more accurately.
70+ SM Store kiosks and expanded access
GoTyme Bank will continue scaling with an aggressive physical expansion. “By the third quarter of 2025, every single SM Store across the country will proudly host a GoTyme Bank kiosk,” said co-CEO Albert Tinio. “That’s more than 70 new locations where anyone can walk up, open an account in under five minutes, receive a free Visa debit card, and instantly step into the world of beautiful, seamless banking.”
“We are putting the power of banking directly where people live, shop, and thrive. This is more than convenience. This is a revolution in access and empowerment,” he added.
Backing national pride and local entrepreneurs
GoTyme Bank, which is known to empower and back young achievers, pushing and encouraging them to fulfill their dreams, is the Official Bank of the Philippine Football Federation, supporting both men’s and women’s national teams. More than just a sponsorship, the collaboration champions the spirit of Filipino excellence from the grassroots up to the global stage. “We are shining a light on discipline, teamwork, and national pride,” Tinio said.
In addition to championing sports, the bank is also supporting small businesses. “Through partnerships with Paymongo and foodpanda, we’re extending credit up to P3 million to small businesses. These are the entrepreneurs fueling the local economy—and we want to fuel their growth,” said Tinio.
GoTyme Bank has also rolled out a Buy Now, Pay Later product designed to be user-friendly and affordable. “Shopping for your dream gadget, that long-awaited appliance, or even booking your next adventure—and paying in four easy installments with the lowest, most transparent fees in the market.”
Other exciting new features coming soon include local stock investing in Q3, curated cryptocurrency trading inside the app, cash deposit and withdrawal machines with self-service and off-us functionality, and a new Go Rewards earning scheme, with 1 point per P100 spent at partner stores, and 1 point per P500 spent elsewhere.
“You can now use those points to book flights, stock up on groceries, and more. We’re making rewards simpler, faster, and more useful—because that’s what beautiful banking should feel like,” Clarke said.
A clear vision
“At GoTyme Bank, we believe banking should do more than manage your money—it should elevate your life,” Tinio concluded. “Every new kiosk we build, every feature we launch, every partnership we forge is part of a bigger promise: to make financial growth, freedom, and security accessible to every Filipino, no matter where they are or what dreams they hold.”
