GCash, the Philippines’ leading
fintech company, is pushing for more digital technology innovations to boost
the country’s financial inclusion agenda as it gathers key public sector
partners in the second part of its GCash
for the Nation workshop series.
Entitled "Building
Capabilities: Harnessing the Power of Digital Technology", the program
discussed how the industry can be more effective in utilizing digital
technology and push for more innovations in the fintech space.
Moreover, the event also expounded
how the fintech sector can empower communities, especially the unbanked sector,
through constant innovations.
"While GCash has come a long
way in its digital finance transformation journey, there’s still more that
needs to be done,” Said Martha Sazon president and CEO of GCash.
“That’s why at GCash, we are
constantly innovating to democratize finance for all Filipinos. But we also
recognize that fact that we cannot do this alone. Together with our partners,
we will continue to spearhead digital initiatives and explore innovations that
can bring more meaningful and essential financial services to all Filipinos,
wherever they are,” Sazon added.
The program was attended by key
GCash partners and industry leaders namely David Balamon, e-government
specialist at the Department of Information and Communications Technology
(DICT), San Fernando City treasurer Mary Ann Bautista, MyEG Philippines, Inc.
CEO Ann Margaret Saldana, GCash local government unit team lead JR Marfoni,
data tech enterprise team lead Faye Guanlao, and GLife sales manager Allyza Jimenez.
Set to be held throughout the year,
the series kicked off last February at the Diamond Hotel in Manila followed by
the recent program at Escala Hotel in Tagaytay. The succeeding workshops will
further deep dive into important discussions and relevant issues in the Fintech
industry, and how these can help bring the benefits of th digital economy to
more Filipinos.
With over 79 million registered

innovations to help millions of Filipinos achieve a better, safer, and more
