\u201cThis project with the city government of Manila is a big, important step in bringing financial inclusivity not only to the financially underserved sectors of society but also to the emerging generation of purely digital natives which are today\u2019s youth,\u201d said Globe chief executive officer Ernest Cu. <\/p>\n
On its part, GCash lauds the city government of Manila for supporting such digital innovations and partnering with them to bring the benefits of a fully digital lifestyle closer to more Filipinos. \u201cWith GCash becoming part and parcel of the lives of thousands of students in Manila, they can finally enjoy ease and freedom in daily tasks such as buying snacks, paying for school supplies, topping up their load or even sending money to friends and family,\u201d said GCash chief executive officer Anthony Thomas.<\/p>\n
Moreover, GCash helps the youth start on a journey toward financial literacy and empowerment. \u201cInnovative features such as GSave or Save Money allow students to start digital savings without the hassles of opening an account,\u201d explained Thomas.
