Mynt, the holding company of Globe’s fintech arm managing the GCash e-wallet, has raised over US$300 million in funding, valuing the company at over US$2 billion.

The company was the only Philippines startup that made it onto Credit Suisse’s list of 35 unicorns in Southeast Asia.

The investment round was led by global investment giant Warburg Pincus, New York-based venture capital firm Insight Partners, and Bow Wave Capital, one of Mynt’s existing investors.

The round also includes participation from Itai Tsiddon and Amplo Ventures as well as capital from Globe and Ayala.

With the news funds, Mynt will be expanding its digital financial services offerings to support the country’s financial inclusion agenda.

Mynt said that it is currently on track to reach PHP3 trillion of gross transaction value, 3x times more than last year’s figure.

The company added that it also recorded peak daily app log-ins and daily active transactions of 19 million and 12 million, respectively.
