BANGKOK, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- By using its artificial intelligence-driven proprietary underwriting tool, GCash, the Philippines' number one finance super app, enables frictionless funding for first-time borrowers who have long been excluded from formal financing. This expands access to a broad range of users, including micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) who require capital to scale their business.
These were among the key points, shared by Tony Isidro, the President and CEO of Fuse Financing Inc., the lending arm of GCash, at the Money20/20 Asia 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Unlocking access to capital for MSMEs
Most micro-enterprises in the Philippines operate informally. That means they have no collateral, credit history, or financial statements—typical requirements of traditional financial institutions.
As a result, around 57% of Philippine MSMEs still rely on informal lenders with extremely high interest rates, leaving businesses without access to formal credit and making it harder for them to restock, expand, or manage daily operations.
Fuse Financing addresses this issue by providing a more transparent alternative to lending within the GCash app, giving access to simplified loan process and collateral-free loans.
"By integrating financial services directly within the app, we are dismantling traditional barriers to lending, such as heavy documentary requirements and physical distance. This evolution isn't just about speed; it's about meaningful financial inclusion," Isidro said.
Empowering grassroots entrepreneurs
Products like GLoan Negosyo give merchants access to up to Php 350,000 (USD 5,700) within the GCash app, while GLoan Negosyo under the GCash for Business portal gives users access to up to Php 2 million (USD 32,500) in working capital, structured around their actual sales cycles and inventory needs. Disbursements and repayments occur entirely through the GCash app, which matters most for borrowers in remote areas who cannot easily reach a physical branch.
Backing this is a Php 1.75 billion credit facility from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aimed at women-led and rural micro, small, and medium enterprises. This signifies how institutional capital is beginning to follow where fintech has already gone.

GCash Powers Philippine MSMEs with Frictionless Capital
AMSTERDAM, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- uCloudlink Group Inc. (NASDAQ: UCL), the pioneer of innovative mobile data solutions, achieved a historic double milestone at the 2026 MVNO World Congress in Amsterdam. On the evening of June 2, uCloudlink won the prestigious "Customer Impact Award" at the official MVNOs World Awards and was successfully shortlisted for "Leading Consumer MVNO/Sub-Brand." Following this critical acclaim, the company delivered a high-impact keynote presentation on the morning of June 3, detailing its advanced terminal-side innovations designed to unlock structural monetization and exponential growth for Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and global carriers.
Addressing an international delegation of telecom executives, Frank Zhang, Senior Director of Product Development at uCloudlink, introduced two high-efficiency strategic frameworks engineered to resolve traditional industry bottlenecks:
1. Terminal-Side Solutions: Shifting network scheduling intelligence entirely to the device edge via uCloudlink's proprietary All-SIM Architecture (Based on uCloudlink's patented CloudSIM technology) and cloud-orchestrated SaaS/PaaS layers. This asset-light approach structurally bypasses sluggish network-side bilateral agreements, granting operators instant multi-network aggregation across 200+ countries and 390+ carriers. Backed by AI HyperConn® routing, the framework delivers mission-critical fault tolerance and highly resilient handovers, slashing single-network blind spots and user churn with zero upfront infrastructure cost.
2. New Business Blue Oceans: Monetizing breakthrough product innovations to capture premium adjacent markets beyond the smartphone. Anchoring this framework is the global release of the GlocalMe eSIM Trio Integrated Card. This hardware-level Multi-IMSI scheme establishes a powerful technological foundation designed to potentially bring digital-first eSIM capabilities to the world's 4 billion legacy physical-SIM devices—a massive blue ocean that uCloudlink envisions driving and realizing through deep, joint collaboration with global operators. Additionally, uCloudlink showcased The PetPhone—the world's first AI-powered smartphone for pets leveraging Emotion AI to drive fresh subscriber lines—and the MeowGo G50 Max hotspot, delivering Air-Ground-Satellite connection assurance for executive business travel and enterprise disaster preparedness.
The strategic frameworks received widespread praise from the MVNO World Congress committee and international exhibitors, cementing uCloudlink's leadership and practical service-delivery capabilities. Guided by its core ideal—"Connecting everything is technology; caring for life is the ideal"—uCloudlink solidifies its market position, utilizing structural innovation to ensure an always-connected digital fabric in the accelerating AI era.
