- Auto-save: allows you to auto-transfer any amount into your savings account on a daily, weekly or monthly basis
- Save the change: enables your GoTyme Bank Visa debit card to round up each swipe to the nearest PHP10 or PHP100, depositing those extra amounts into Go Save.

GoTyme Bank customers can scan to pay QR Ph codes of merchants. There is no transaction fee for scanning to pay via QR Ph and this gives you 1 point for every P600 spent on QR Ph payments.
Also, GoTyme Bank customers can scan to pay QR codes even if it is an individual account which means the code belongs to a person and not under a business name. This is considered an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and is therefore counted against the three (3) free transfers per week. The transactions thereafter will be charged a P8.00 InstaPay fee. The maximum transaction that can be completed is P50,000.
QR codes without the QR Ph logo will NOT work.
GoTyme Bank gives you 1 point for every P600 spend for QR Ph payments. If the merchant is a partner store, customers can also earn additional points from Go Rewards granted they present their Go Rewards QR code to the merchant at their standard earn rate. Full list of partner stores here: https://www.gorewards.com.ph/partners
To earn up to 3x Go Rewards points, customers may pay using their GoTyme Bank Visa debit card instead.

A multi-currency time deposit offers higher and fixed interest rates compared to a regular savings account, along with a specified lock-in period. This option provides diversification opportunities across currencies and additional potential gains through currency appreciation.
You can initiate a Multi-currency time deposit account with a minimum deposit of just US$ 1. There are no constraints on the maximum deposit amount, and you have the flexibility to open as many time deposit accounts as necessary, depending on your needs.
To place a Multi-currency time deposit, you can initiate the process by converting your PHP (Philippine Peso) from your GoTyme Bank account to the desired currency based on the prevailing exchange rate indicated in the mobile bank application. Simply follow the steps provided by your GoTyme Bank platform, and you'll be able to open a Multi-currency time deposit account with ease.
You may select a duration that suits your financial objectives and preferences. Currently, the available tenures for USD Time Deposit are 3 months and 6 months, with a special introductory rate of 5% p.a.
Interest is calculated based on the amount deposited, the selected currencies, and the fixed interest rate, quoted in a per annum basis. Sample computation:
(Initial deposit x Applicable interest rate) x (Number of days / 365)
Example: If the deposit placement during the introductory offer period is US$ 1,000 with a chosen duration of 6 months, the interest earned upon maturity is (US$ 1,000 x 5%) x (184 days / 365) = US$ 25.21
Interest accrued will be shown everyday but will be credited to your account upon maturity date.
Interest earnings are consistently subject to taxation in compliance with regulations. For time deposits denominated in US Dollars, the relevant tax rate is 15%, which is lower than the 20% tax rate applied to PHP interest income.
Yes! You can withdraw your funds anytime at zero fees/penalties. However, the interest you’ve earned will be forfeited if funds are withdrawn before maturity.
Upon maturity, the interest earned from your time deposit account will be credited and the total amount will automatically be renewed at prevailing interest rates and previously selected duration. If you don’t plan on renewing your time deposit, you may withdraw the initial deposit and the credited interest earned any time after the initial maturity date.
While time deposits are generally considered low-risk, fluctuations in exchange rates could affect returns if you deposit in foreign currencies.
You will earn 1 Go Rewards point for every bill paid worth at least P100.
Each Go Save will earn 4% interest per annum. However, only Php 500,000 will be insured across all accounts.
The savings in your Go Save can be transferred to your GoTyme Bank account , which can then be withdrawn or used in your payment transactions. However, you will only receive the interest relative to the number of days that the funds are in your Go Save.
You may check your Go Rewards points balance on the home screen of your GoTyme Bank app.
