Table of Contents

Six years ago, PayMongo began its mission to revolutionize payments for Filipino businesses. Today, we're celebrating not just an anniversary but a strategic transformation that positions us as a market leader in financial technology infrastructure.

From Payment Gateway to Comprehensive Financial Ecosystem

Under CEO Jojo Malolos' leadership, we've achieved remarkable financial milestones that demonstrate our strong market position and growth trajectory:

  • 4.3x increase in Total Payment Volume (TPV)
  • 3x revenue growth
  • 3.6x increase in gross profits

Beyond growth metrics, #TheNewPayMongo has strengthened its enterprise-grade security and compliance foundation, securing SOC2 Type 2 certification and forging strategic partnerships with regulatory bodies like the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).

"This evolution represents our commitment to building a future-ready financial ecosystem," says Malolos. "We've expanded beyond payments to provide businesses with growth capital and enable software platforms to embed seamless financial tools. Our infrastructure simultaneously powers direct business growth and industry-wide innovation while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards."
