Digital finance in the Philippines is reaching a new level of security.
菲律賓的數位金融正邁向全新的安全層級。
GCash, the nation's leading mobile wallet, is officially moving away from SMS-based One-Time Passwords (OTPs) in favor of a more secure in-app authentication system.
菲律賓國內領先的行動錢包 GCash 正正式宣布，將淘汰以簡訊為基礎的一次性密碼（OTP），改用安全性更高的應用程式內身分驗證系統。
This change is scheduled for full implementation by June 22, 2026.
此項變更預計於 2026 年 6 月 22 日全面實施。
Cybercriminals have frequently used phishing links and SIM-swap attacks to intercept these codes and gain unauthorized access to user accounts.
網路犯罪份子常利用釣魚連結與 SIM 卡更換攻擊來攔截這些代碼，藉此非法存取用戶帳戶。
By switching to secure push notifications, GCash ensures that only the verified account owner on their specific device can authorize transactions.
透過轉換至安全的推播通知，GCash 確保只有該裝置上經過驗證的帳戶所有者才能授權交易。
This one-tap authentication method not only boosts protection against scams but also improves the user experience by eliminating the need to wait for text messages.
這種一鍵式驗證方法不僅提升了防詐能力，更因無需等待簡訊而改善了使用者體驗。
This proactive shift complies with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) directive to phase out SMS-based OTPs, marking a significant step forward under the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act.
此項主動的調整是為了配合菲律賓中央銀行（BSP）逐步淘汰簡訊 OTP 的指令，並在《反金融帳戶詐騙法》下邁出關鍵的一步。
Staying updated is the best way to keep your digital wallet safe.
保持更新是確保您的數位錢包安全的最佳方式。
