More than 24 million Filipinos have successfully used their National ID to verify their identities and open e-wallet accounts through GCash, a huge stride milestone in the country’s push for greater financial inclusion.

As of May 2026, 61 percent of onboarded GCash users—equivalent to 24.4 million Filipinos—used their National IDs, whether in card, paper, or digital format, for account opening and verification.

Aligned with the administration’s directives to accelerate nationwide digitalization and bring essential services closer to the people, the PSA continues to advance financial inclusion at the grassroots level.

Financial institutions interested in partnering or onboarding with the National ID system may reach the PSA via email at 𝐟𝐩𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐝@𝐩𝐬𝐚.𝐠𝐨𝐯.𝐩𝐡.
