|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2024 | Secondary | Ayala (lead); MUFG Bank (lead); Mitsubishi | $786M | $5B | Mynt, Inc., the parent company of GCash, the Philippines' largest digital finance super app and cashless ecosystem, secured strategic investments from Ayala Corporation and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) in August 2024, with each investor committing $393 million. The transaction valued Mynt at $5 billion, more than doubling its $2 billion valuation from 2021. Ayala, through its subsidiary AC Ventures Holdings, acquired an additional 8% stake, bringing its total ownership to approximately 13%, while MUFG Bank acquired an 8% stake as a new shareholder. The company recorded PHP 6.7 billion in net income as of 2023. Following the investment, MUFG announced that Mynt would join the MUFG Openly-connected Digital Ecosystem (MODE) as a core member, positioning it within MUFG's broader Asia-Pacific fintech portfolio and strengthening both investors' capacity to capture growth in the region's financial services market. The deal underscored Mynt's leadership position in mobile financial services and its focus on financial inclusion for underserved Filipino consumers and businesses. |
| Nov 2021 | Undisclosed stage | Bow Wave Capital Management (lead); Insight Partners (lead); Warburg Pincus (lead); Amplo; Globe Telecom; Ayala; Itai Tsiddon | $300M | $2B | Mynt is the holding company of GCash, the leading fintech platform in the Philippines offering digital wallet and lending services, operated under Globe Fintech Innovations and chaired by Globe CEO Ernest Cu. In its last funding round in 2021, Mynt was valued at more than US$2 billion, with investors including Warburg Pincus, Bow Wave Capital, Ayala, and others such as Amplo, Globe Telecom, Insight Partners, and Itai Tsiddon, aligning with the specified lead investors Bow Wave Capital Management, Insight Partners, and Warburg Pincus around February 2021. Globe owns approximately 35% of Mynt, while Ant Group holds about 34%, providing substantial backing for GCash's growth. As of recent reports, GCash has reached 94 million users and achieved profitability, contributing notably to Globe's earnings—such as equity earnings more than doubling to 962 million pesos in Q1 of the reported year, representing 11% of pre-tax income. Mynt eyes a 2025 IPO, potentially in the Philippines with a dual listing in the US for better liquidity, though no urgency exists given ongoing growth. The fintech sector in the Philippines features Mynt/GCash as a top unicorn alongside others in digital payments and lending, with strong market traction evidenced by user base and profitability milestones. |
| Jan 2021 | Undisclosed stage | Bow Wave Capital Management (lead) | $175M | $900M | Mynt is the Philippines' leading digital financial services provider and operator of the GCash mobile payment app. The company raised $300 million in November 2021 in a funding round led by Warburg Pincus and Insight Partners, with participation from Bow Wave Capital, Itai Tsiddon, Amplo Ventures, Globe, and Ayala, achieving a post-money valuation of over $2 billion and becoming the Philippines' first and only unicorn. At the time of this November 2021 round, Mynt had scaled to 3 million merchants and social sellers and had achieved positive EBITDA and net income by mid-2021. |
