Global benchmark for financial inclusion Mynt, Inc., the parent company behind GCash, has been named one of the World’s Top Fintech Companies for 2026 by global media outlet CNBC and data platform Statista.

Listed in the Payments category, Mynt is the sole Philippine fintech firm to earn a spot on the prestigious international roster, placing homegrown innovation alongside global market leaders.

The annual index selected 500 top-performing companies using a rigorous rating model evaluated by Statista.
