GoTyme Bank Launches In-App Crypto Trading for Filipino Users
Hey Digital Banking Fanatic!
As we start the week, I’m watching new shifts unfold in Digital Banking and crypto, with institutions expanding their rails across emerging markets. So, let’s dive in!
GoTyme Bank is introducing Go Crypto, a new in-app feature that lets users buy, sell, and manage 11 digital assets directly inside its mobile banking platform.
The rollout brings access to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ripple and others, all managed within GoTyme’s closed-loop ecosystem built to streamline onboarding and enhance security.
The bank says the feature aims to make crypto more accessible for Filipinos who still see it as fragmented. As a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider, GoTyme applies bank-level due diligence to each asset.
Users get instant fiat-to-crypto transfers, real-time market data, transparent pricing, and a dedicated crypto account for portfolio tracking. The bank continues to warn that crypto remains volatile and is not covered by local deposit insurance.
What's the next big move in Digital Banking? Find out tomorrow... I'll be back in your inbox with more industry-shaping updates. Be the first to know, always!
Cheers,
