    Mitsubishi to invest in Ayala joint venture with stake in Mynt | by Norbert Gehrke | Tokyo FinTech | Oct, 2024

    Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) announced that MC, Ayala Corporation (AC), and AC Ventures (ACV) have reached an agreement on MC’s investment in ACV subject to the execution of definitive transaction documents and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. AC is a major conglomerate in the Philippines and ACV currently holds an about 13% stake in Globe Fintech Innovations (Mynt), the parent company of GCash, the Philippines’ number one finance super app and largest digital cashless ecosystem in the country. Under the terms of the agreement, MC shall acquire a 50% stake in ACV and pursue future investment opportunities.

    In addition, MC and AC are going to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on a comprehensive collaboration in the Philippines. The MoU covers additional business developments aimed at stimulating the country’s economic growth.

    MC aims to create a prosperous society and a “Smart-Life” ecosystem in the form of improved lifestyle for consumers by launching multiple attractive businesses that address social issues and consumer needs in each region and country, and organically connecting them. These ecosystem addresses both challenges faced by social issues and consumer needs, and sustainable growth of our business portfolio.

    Among the various consumer services, digital financial services are positioned as a critical initiative to capture the growth of consumer demand in ASEAN and to realize a society where everyone can easily access financial services (i.e. financial inclusion). It is also seen as an infrastructure business that organically connects multiple consumer services.

    The Philippines is expected to have the highest population and GDP growth among ASEAN countries. Although relatively few people in the Philippines have bank accounts, most have mobile phones and access to the Internet, which makes the Philippines an attractive market with significant room for growth in digital financial services. Approximately 80% of the country’s citizens have ever tried using the “GCash” mobile wallet, which is Mynt’s core business. With a vision to accelerate financial inclusion in the Philippines, the product has by far the largest mobile-wallet customer base in the Philippines and has grown into an indispensable service infrastructure, relied on by millions for daily payments, transfers and other financial transactions. In addition to its digital payments and transfers, Mynt, through its other subsidiaries, also provides access to loan services using non-traditional ways to assign customer credit scores to enable access to fair lending. It has also expanded its financial services offerings to provide users access to savings, insurance, and investment products. Furthermore, it has built the largest network of online and offline merchants including social sellers with over 6 million partners while hosting over 1,000 merchant partners in its app, via GLife.

    AC is among the Philippines’ largest business conglomerates. MC first partnered with it in 1974 and has since built up an impressive, nationwide track record of collaborative businesses in various industries. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the partnership, and to further enhance the relationship, the two companies have signed an MoU for comprehensive collaboration. Both MC and AC are committed to boosting Mynt’s corporate value and leveraging other joint initiatives to create new businesses in the Philippines and contribute to its economic development. Those efforts will include continuous business development and cross-sales in C2B area like retail and healthcare, and multifaceted collaborations in mobility, renewable energy, carbon management and elsewhere.

    With the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) having also announced its investment in Mynt this past August, MC and AC shall work with MUFG as fellow shareholders to aid the company’s future growth and development.
