During this period, bank transfers, cash-ins through InstaPay, and QRPH payments will be suspended. The GCash app itself will be offline from 2:00 a.m to 3:00 a.m. The service, operated by G-Xchange Inc., serves over 90 million users. The e-wallet was previously down on Wednesday, but services were quickly restored. Meanwhile, Mynt Inc., the parent company, is scheduled to hold its initial public offering this month, offering 8.03 billion shares at P10.00 each between October 6-12.",
