After yesterday’s widespread downtime of GCash 218, the company has finally restored GCash back to normal operations.
GCash has been continuously rolling out safety and security measures to prevent unsecured devices from accessing the app. While implementing this, the app remained operational but some customers may have experienced intermittent access to selected services.
As of October 9, 7:00 PM, the intermittent issues 51 have been addressed and all affected services are accessible. We assure our customers that their accounts and funds remain secure.
The latest security deployment is part of ongoing enhancements to ensure the safest and most secure experience for our customers.
Our official channels remain open and accessible for any concerns. Go to the GCash Help Center at https://help.gcash.com, and talk to Gigi.
We advise our users to never share their MPIN and One-time PIN (OTP) with anyone. GCash will never send emails or messages with links nor reach out to customers via calls and other messaging platforms.
GCash did not elaborate as to what additional security measures were put in place but we’ll look into this and update this story once we do.

At least one new “feature” they’ve added is blocking app access on rooted devices, devices that have untrusted app sources enabled and even on devices with Developer Mode enabled. Presumably they’ve found that people who’ve experienced fraudulent activity sometimes have installed apps of a questionable nature, compromising their devices, so, have decided to implement a blanket block based on the availability of the tools that someone could use to install bad things as it’ll probably block more infected devices than the number of legitimate cases where these features are used. It’s quite annoying, especially the fact that they’ve gone straight to blocking, rather than warning, even with a requirement to accept responsibility for your device security, but, I’d have to assume that they determined that most of those impacted wouldn’t read a warning or would just accept responsibility without understanding what that entails.
