Secure your GCash account with Account Secure

Your GCash is more precious that your wallet. Don't forget your phone at home

GCash, the mobile leading ewallet in the Philippines has implemented another security feature for you!  GCash is continuously implementing a new enhanced security feature called ACCOUNT SECURE. This feature will soon be available to all users.

 

What is Gcash Account Secure?

Account Secure ensures a safe and secure GCash experience by giving you control of the phone that can log in and access your GCash account. With this, you can view and authorize the phone registered to your account and remove it as needed on the Account Secure page in your settings. Technically, it only allows you to lock your GCash with only a single device.

 

This means, you need to indicate which preferred mobile phone you can only use for all your transactions.
