Manila, July 2025 — One of the Philippines’ newest and fastest-growing banks, GoTyme Bank, is getting bigger and stronger every month—and it’s not slowing down!
GoTyme is a digital bank, which means you don’t have to go to a physical building to open an account. Everything is done online or through kiosks at malls and stores. And guess what? It’s backed by the Gokongwei family, one of the most successful business families in the country!
🚀 The Big Goal: 9 Million Users in 2025!
GoTyme Bank wants to have 9 million customers by the end of this year—and they’re already very close!
As of June 29, 2025, the bank already has:
-
6.7 million users!
-
That’s more than double the number they had in April 2024, when they only had 3 million.
According to Albert Tinio, one of the co-CEOs (he helps run the bank), they’re adding about 250,000 new users every month. That’s like filling up three big basketball arenas with new users—every 30 days!
He’s confident that they’ll reach 10 million users by next year—maybe even sooner!
🏦 GoTyme’s Big Dream: Becoming the #1 Bank in the Philippines
GoTyme’s other CEO, Nathaniel Clarke, once said that the bank wants to become the top bank in the country within 5 years. That’s a big dream—but they’re already on their way!
They’re following the footsteps of their sister bank, Tyme, in Africa, which signed up 5.5 million people in just 3 years.
But GoTyme is moving even faster than that!
👥 How Are They Getting So Many Users?
To grow fast, GoTyme is:
-
Working with Gokongwei stores (like Robinsons).
-
Setting up booths in SM Department Stores, so people can easily open accounts.
-
Sending out friendly agents to help people sign up—even if they’ve never used a digital bank before!
It’s like banking made simple, fast, and easy—perfect for busy moms, students, and even small business owners.
📈 Is GoTyme Making Money Yet?
Not quite—but they’re getting there! Tinio said that GoTyme is:
-
Earning more from user transactions
-
Growing fast in revenue (the money a company makes)
-
Aiming to be profitable (meaning they’ll earn more than they spend) by 2025
Their sister bank, Tyme, took 5 years to start earning profit, but GoTyme thinks they can do it even faster!
💬 What’s Next?
With more users joining every day, and exciting plans to expand, GoTyme is one of the most watched digital banks in the Philippines.
Whether it’s saving money, sending funds, or paying bills, GoTyme wants to make banking simple and for everyone—no matter where you live or how much you earn.
