More than providing ground-breaking digital products that have benefited over 55 million users in the Philippines, GCash, the leading mobile wallet in the country, is celebrating real-time and real-life innovation through its program, the GCash Digital Excellence Awards. This recognition is given to institutions that have made significant contributions in revolutionizing digital solutions and establishing programs that help safeguard transactions and the delivery of their services.
While the pandemic forced a huge shift in the way Filipinos transact online, business owners innovated quickly to bring services closer to customers and cater to the growing needs of the market. This is why GCash has also remained committed to continuously improving its range of digital products that have become essential to Filipinos, especially small business owners and local enterprises that seek partners who can offer future-ready solutions.
“GCash’s ultimate goal is to make lives better every day and achieve financial inclusion for all. Over the course of the pandemic, we have witnessed the contributions of our partners from both the public and private sector to uplift the lives of Filipinos, so it is only fitting that we recognize their achievements and unwavering commitment through the GCash Digital Excellence Awards,” said Martha Sazon, GCash President and CEO.
Established in 2021, the GCash Digital Excellence Awards was first initiated to recognize notable institutions in the public sector that have spearheaded financial inclusion and digital innovation in improving public service and access. This year, GCash is extending this honor to innovators in the enterprise and MSME sectors for their steadfast commitment in pioneering advancements and championing inclusivity through key initiatives.
There will be three main awards for this year’s GCash Digital Excellence Awards. The Industry Pioneer Award recognizes companies who have stood alongside GCash since its inception and continue to spearhead various partnership activities along the way. The Innovation and Growth Award, will be presented to organizations that have collaborated with GCash in delivering ground-breaking solutions for the growing number of GCash users. The last of the three main awards, the Transformative Ecosystem Award, will be given to institutions who have embraced the digital lifestyle by fully integrating GCash solutions to their own ecosystem.
Along with the main awards, GCash will also honor organizations who continuously help to promote and build a Financially-inclusive society through sustainable and impactful efforts catered to various groups in the Philippines.
Through the GCash Digital Excellence Awards and succeeding programs for this year, GCash aims to motivate its partners to continue to innovate their services, and to inspire more institutions to take an active role in making the Philippines a more financially inclusive society. The GCash Digital Excellence Awards will happen on March 31, 2022, through an exclusive online event.
