“Globe Telecom Inc., the Philippines’s second-biggest telecommunications company, expects e-wallet unit GCash to be ready for an initial public offering (IPO) by yearend, President and CEO Ernest Cu said.

‘We’re pretty much ripe for it. The growth is there, the profitability has been there for almost two years now,’ Cu said in an interview on Thursday with Bloomberg Television’s David Ingles and Yvonne Man.

The plan is to be push-button ready by the end of the year. Let’s see where it takes us,’ he said.

In line with the statement of Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu on GCash’s readiness for an Initial Public Offering (IPO), we wish to clarify that our plan is to become push-button-ready when the opportune time comes. We are focused on growth to create more value for our customers and make GCash the safest and most trusted platform championing financial inclusion.

Rest assured, we will disclose relevant details in due course.
