GCash, the Philippines’ leading finance app and cashless ecosystem, has once again gained international recognition after being named the country’s Best Mobile Wallet for 2024 by global financial intelligence journal Pan Finance.
In its Q1 2024 magazine, Pan Finance recognized GCash holding company, Mynt, as a ‘leader in mobile financial services’, focused on ‘accelerating financial inclusion through mobile money, financial services, and technology.’
Pan Finance highlighted the two companies under Mynt: GCash’s mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc. (GXI); and tech-based lending company Fuse, which gives Filipinos access to personal and business loans.
“We at GCash are thankful for this recognition. This highlights GCash’s transformative role in the Philippines’ journey from financial inclusion to financial progress,” said GCash President and CEO Martha Sazon.
Pan Finance also highlighted Mynt’s initiatives to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, namely goals #5 (gender equality), #8 (decent work and economic growth), #10 (reduced inequalities), and #13 (climate action).
This citation highlights GCash’s efforts to provide easy access to much-needed financial services to the underserved, especially to women, which make up more than half of the app’s client base.

GCash has also utilized innovative technologies to engage its users to tangibly contribute toward climate action through GForest.
“It’s heartwarming to be recognized for these causes that are really close to our heart at GCash,” Sazon said. “Gender Equality & Sustainability play a crucial role in our evolving success story.”

While it is a phone that’s “Smooth Beyond Belief”, thanks to its Trinity Engine, 5,500 mAh battery and Oxygen 14 OS, the OnePlus 12R also features an impressive camera with a flagship-level sensor and advanced imaging capabilities.
Flagship-level Main Camera The OnePlus 12R is equipped with a 50-megapixel flagship camera that uses a Sony IMX890 sensor, which is known for producing great all-round photography.

RAW HDR Algorithms OnePlus photography is all about capturing the natural brilliance of your shot, with an extra boost from its RAW HDR algorithm. These in-house developed algorithms enhance HDR photography by taking multiple HDR photos simultaneously, including under-exposed and overexposed shots, and combining them into one brilliantly clear image. Using AI, the algorithms reduce noise, optimize white balance, correct contrast issues, and bring a new level of clarity to your photography efforts – all in the blink of a shutter lens.
Tone Mapping Control Not everything is black and white, and that’s definitely true in the world of photography. That’s why OnePlus 12R’s photography package includes tone mapping control, a unique HDR algorithm that helps capture the subtle intricacies of light, dark, and gray shades in your shots, ensuring they’re processed perfectly. It’s just like a traditional DSLR, except without needing to carry a heavy camera bag. Combine this with the ProXDR screen and your photos will look as real on the OnePlus 12R as they did when you first took them.
Selfie, Ultrawide, and Macro Ready to Go The main camera isn’t the only outstanding camera on the OnePlus 12R. At the back of the phone is an ultra-wide camera with a Sony IMX355 sensor that captures wide landscape shots, allowing to fit more scenery into each picture. In addition, the ultra-wide camera covers an impressive 112-degree field of view that is perfect for group photos or breathtaking nature shots.For those times when you want to get really close to your subject, like capturing the intricate details of a flower or a small object, the OnePlus 12R includes a macro camera. This camera lets you take clear, detailed close-up photos that showcase every tiny detail.
On the front of the phone, there’s a 16-megapixel camera designed for sharp and vibrant selfies and video calls. Whether you’re snapping a quick selfie or chatting with friends and family over video, this front-facing camera ensures you look your best.
The OnePlus 12R offers more than just powerful performance – it’s a complete package that ensures you can capture every moment brilliantly.
