MANILA, Philippines — Digital lender GoTyme Bank has expanded its investment offerings with the launch of a new in-app feature that allows users to trade Philippine equities, as it seeks to lower barriers to stock market participation among retail investors.

In a statement, the bank said its newly launched “PH Stocks” feature enables customers to invest directly in companies listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange without leaving the GoTyme app, removing the need to switch between platforms or go through traditional onboarding processes.

The digital lender said the feature is designed to address common hurdles such as complex account opening procedures, multiple document submissions and fragmented user experiences that have traditionally discouraged first-time investors.

“GoTyme Bank’s mission has always been to remove friction from finance and build confidence for new investors,” GoTyme Bank president and CEO Nathaniel Clarke said.

“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,” he said.

Brokerage firm DragonFi Securities powers the service, allowing users to fund investments directly from their accounts, place orders at any time and withdraw proceeds seamlessly within the same platform.

Unlike traditional trading platforms that often cater to active traders, PH Stocks is positioned toward long-term investing, with a focus on dividends and portfolio building.

“At DragonFi, our mission is to make investing accessible, transparent and embedded into the daily lives of Filipinos. Our partnership with GoTyme Bank is a major step forward in achieving this vision,” DragonFi Securities CEO Jon Lim said.

“By powering PH Stocks within the GoTyme Bank app, we’re not just enabling access to the Philippine Stock Exchange, we’re putting the power of long-term investing directly into the hands of millions of Filipinos in the simplest, most intuitive way possible,” Lim added.

Users can place orders around the clock, including outside regular market hours, although trades are executed during official exchange sessions. The platform also allows instant funding using users’ existing bank balances, streamlining the process from saving to investing.
