GoTyme expands banking platform, includes investment

By Aarav Garg

GoTyme Bank has introduced PH Stocks, an in-app feature that enables customers to invest in companies listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange without leaving the bank’s platform.

The feature is designed to simplify investing by removing the need for multiple accounts and processes, allowing users to manage both finances and investments in one place. PH Stocks is offered in partnership with DragonFi Securities, a licensed brokerage and trading participant of the exchange, and a member of the country’s clearing and depository institutions.

Nate Clarke, President and CEO of GoTyme Bank, said, “GoTyme Bank’s mission has always been to remove friction from finance and build confidence for new investors. Our partnership with DragonFi Securities brings credible, licensed expertise right into the app, making PH Stocks the perfect entry point for everyday Filipinos to shift from saving to investing responsibly for the long term.”

The service is positioned to support long-term investing, particularly for users seeking dividend-based returns rather than short-term trading. Customers can fund investments directly from their GoTyme accounts, place orders within the app, and withdraw proceeds once transactions are settled. Orders are executed during market hours, with funds from sold shares typically available after around two days.

The launch follows GoTyme Bank’s introduction of crypto trading in December 2025 through a partnership with Alpaca. It forms part of the bank’s strategy to expand beyond deposits and credit into broader investment offerings.

GoTyme Bank said it reached nine million users in March 2026, with a long-term goal of serving 40 million customers globally.
