About CashCashPinoy
CashCashPinoy was a daily-deals and group-buying website, operated under the entity Moonline Inc., co-founded in 2010 by French entrepreneur Frederic Levy. It offered discounted vouchers for restaurants, travel, spas, and retail goods to Filipino consumers during the early-2010s daily-deals boom that also produced rivals such as MetroDeal and Ensogo Philippines.
The company raised roughly $2 million from Singapore-based investor Hera Capital in 2014, on top of earlier funding, for a reported total of around $4 million raised since 2010, and was for a time considered the Philippines’ second-largest daily-deals site.
Starting around 2014, CashCashPinoy faced mounting complaints over fake or non-delivered goods, and both PayPal and BDO suspended its payment processing over the allegations. In July 2017 the site went offline entirely, posting a message that it was “taking some time out… to work on the new and revitalized CashCashPinoy.” No relaunch ever materialized, and the company is now considered defunct.
The Problem They're Solving
Offered Filipino consumers deep discount vouchers on restaurants, travel, spa services, and retail goods through a daily-deals/group-buying model, aggregating consumer demand to negotiate bulk discounts from merchants.
Who They Serve
Filipino consumers looking for discounted vouchers on dining, travel, beauty, and retail purchases.
What Makes Them Different
One of the largest daily-deals platforms in the Philippines during the format's early-2010s peak, with institutional backing from Singapore-based Hera Capital — distinguishing it in scale from smaller local group-buying copycats.
What Happened
Went offline in July 2017 after mounting complaints of fake or non-delivered goods led PayPal and BDO to suspend its payment processing; the company posted a message about taking a break to relaunch, but no comeback ever materialized and it is now considered defunct (deadpooled). No live website is listed here since the original site is inactive.
Traction & Milestones
Raised approximately $4M total since 2010, including a ~$2M round from Hera Capital in 2014; was reported as the Philippines' second-largest daily-deals site before its 2017 shutdown.
