Michael Reyes leaned back in his chair, letting the idea settle in the room. The mention of GCash had immediately captured everyone's attention, especially Juliet's. She knew the significance of the name. GCash was once the golden child of the Philippine fintech industry, the leader in mobile payments and digital wallets. Founded in 2004, it had started as a small project under Globe Telecom, with the goal of making financial transactions more accessible to Filipinos.
As Michael began to explain his thoughts, everyone in the room listened intently. "GCash was a game-changer when it launched. It allowed people to send money, pay bills, and even shop online with just their phones. For many Filipinos, it was their first taste of digital banking."
