History

The creation of GoTyme Bank was planned in 2021 by the Gokongwei Group as a joint venture with South African-owned TymeBank. The Gokongwei Group secured a certification to operate a digital bank from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in 2022. [3] [4]

On October 20, 2022, GoTyme Bank was formally launched. As the Gokongwei Group owned Robinsons Bank when it launched, JG Summit President Lance Gokongwei stated that the Ayala-owned Bank of the Philippine Islands will be GoTyme Bank's shareholder once BPI's merger with Robinsons Bank is completed. [5]

On May 22, 2024, GoTyme's CEO Albert Raymund O. Tinio signed a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s CICC Director Alexander K. Ramos at the National Cybercrime Hub in Bonifacio Global City. It's “Whole-of-Society” approach aims to fight financial fraud, including cyberattack on e-commerce transactions, in collaboration with Scam Watch Pilipinas. [6]
