GCash forecasts to handle P1 trillion in transactions this year

As the new normal pushes the economy to go cashless, GCash, the undisputed leader and preferred mobile wallet in the Philippines, expects to handle at least P1 trillion in transactions by the end of 2020.

Safety protocols and limited mobility during the pandemic have changed the conventions of financial transactions at present and for the foreseeable future. Thus, GCash recorded an increase in volume of transactions in the past few months, driven by use cases such as Save Money, Bank Cash-In, Peer-to-Peer Transfers, Bank Transfer, and Online Payments.

Subject matters covered include humanities, architecture, business, engineering, IT, mass communications, criminal justice, agriculture, forestry and fishery among others.  

With free data charges, Globe and TM customers can access pages and information within the platform via their mobile phone, tablet, or personal computer without worrying about internet cost.  However, links on the PHL CHED Connect page that direct to websites outside the domain may incur standard data charges.

Filipino-Owned Radiowealth Finance advances digital growth with Globe Business and Cascadeo

The enterprise arm of Globe Telecom, Globe Business, collaborated with Cascadeo to support Radiowealth Finance Company, Inc. (RFC) in its journey towards a digitally transformed future. The latter sought the assistance of Globe in managing its existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud infrastructure using Cascadeo’s Managed Services Platform.

"We've been proactively looking for solutions to help accelerate our digital strategies and better serve communities during this pandemic," shared Darwin Candelaria, IT Infrastructure Head of RFC. "RFC was already on-board the AWS platform prior to Globe’s assessment of our business and technical requirements. The consultation gave us an opportunity to find out opportunity areas on our operations, security, and costs. Thanks to Globe Business and Cascadeo's support, we were able to realize as much as 30% savings on our cloud costs as we built well-structured operations on our virtual servers.”

How to stay afloat during the pandemic?

The American Labor Department’s June report showed that nearly 18 million Americans were out of work and roughly 30 million Americans are already claiming unemployment benefits. This case exists not only in the United States, but in most countries in the world.

The global outlook is not positive. Even the UN’s International Labor Organization predicts 1.6 billion informal economy workers could suffer “massive damage” to their livelihoods as a result of this pandemic.

You, or a member of your family might have been affected by this current pandemic in any way - less income, reduced pay checks, or worst - job loss. And you are left with one big question in mind - can we still stay afloat at this uncertain time?
