GCash, the leading Philippine e-wallet, is on a mission to make the investment journey of Filipinos more enjoyable and comprehensible with the introduction of the GStocks Game powered by EasyEquities.
Accessible within the GCash app, this game offers novice investors the chance to learn and practice investing in the US stock market without the fear of losing any real money. Running until August 4, 2023, the GStocks Game serves as a trial feature before the official launch of GStocks Global.
EasyEquities, a pioneering investment company, has witnessed firsthand how investing can be the most effective wealth creation strategy for people of all ages. Partnering with GCash is an exciting opportunity for them to bring a game that motivates, educates, and excites the unmatched user base in the Philippines while promoting financial inclusivity throughout the country. Rish Tandapany, President of EasyEquities Philippines, expressed gratitude for the partnership and believes that Filipinos are ready to embrace this new venture.
Jong Layug, GCash Head of Wealth Management, emphasized that the collaboration between two market-defining fintech companies can revolutionize the investment landscape in the Philippines, making it a more accessible and user-friendly activity for everyone.
Getting started with the GStocks Game is simple for GCash users. They need to activate their account in the app by navigating to the “view all” icon on the main dashboard, accessing the ‘Enjoy’ section, and finding the GStocks Game. Once inside the game, users are given virtual ‘play money’ worth $10,000 every week to begin their investment journey.
The GStocks Game commences every Monday, allowing participants to compete for the highest gains in their portfolio and climb up the leaderboard. The game week concludes every Friday, and 15 players have the chance to win attractive cash prizes. The top players will be rewarded with P10,000, followed by P7,500 for the second-place winners, and P5,000 for the third-place achievers. Even the 4th to 15th placers will receive cash prizes for their participation and performance.
As users play and learn about investing, they have the opportunity to collect badges that will be showcased to everyone in the game. These badges include achievements such as “15% Performance Growth,” “Winner of Game Week,” “Portfolio Diversification,” “Top 100 Game Week,” “My First Trade,” and many more, adding an element of gamification and fun to the learning process.
If you don’t have GCash yet, fret not; you can download the app for free from Google Play for Android users, the Apple Store for iPhone and iPad users, or Huawei Gallery.
