 GCash PowerPay is a fast and secure digital payroll solution for cashless disbursement

GCash offers manpower agencies a time-saving payroll disbursement system 

For manpower agencies, which have thousands of employees deployed in different offices and locations, transitioning to a cashless payroll disbursement platform was critical during the pandemic. 

Aside from the complicated logistics and health risks of actual cash handling during the pandemic, manpower agencies also spent long hours to manually keep track of salaries, actual work hours, and promotion or position changes. When there are mistakes in computations, it also takes time to trace and fix them. With these inconvenient and time-consuming problems made worse by restrictions during the pandemic, manpower agencies needed a more agile solution to ensure that their employees get paid the correct salaries on time, wherever they are, in a safe and secure manner.  

A cashless disbursement platform like GCash PowerPay, a fast and secure digital payroll solution for salaries, allowances, incentives and more, provided the answer.  

GCash PowerPay Plus also enables companies to disburse tactical incentives and allowances for their workers through vouchers that can be used for over 75,000 merchants nationwide. Currently, there are over 300 manpower agencies that benefit from GCash’s seamless and cashless payroll system, including Regcris Marketing Network Inc, MAR Employment for Good Services, Inc., and Wizard Manpower and Allied Services.

“With GCash PowerPay Plus, we are able to provide manpower agencies improved efficiency with their payroll disbursement process which is very critical during the pandemic. It’s a win-win proposition for both the company and its employees – the disbursement process is easier and more efficient, while employees get fast and convenient access to their salaries to support their families, while staying safe,” said Martha Sazon, president and CEO of GCash.

GCash AVP for Enterprise Kim Pineda also added, “Enabling these agencies to go cashless with a rapid payroll disbursement system also means we’re helping them achieve a higher satisfaction rate with their employees. GCash PowerPay Plus also helps agencies to save time from the manual processing so they can proceed with other works more efficiently.”

Aside from this, GCash has also helped agencies to easily keep a record of transactions for budgeting purposes. “With GCash, we can easily generate transaction logs with date, time, amount and status which help us to budget and forecast our monthly reports,” said Ermylen Daileg, treasury assistant of Regcris Marketing Network.

With a cashless payroll disbursement, not only can employees receive their salaries hassle-free, but they also have quick access to remittance, bills payments, and bank transfer features on the GCash app. Plus, they can conveniently buy essentials in numerous stores which accept QR payments from GCash. 

“GCash is one of the best mobile wallets so far -- fast transaction and convenient to use especially during this pandemic. You don’t need to transact over the counter just to pay for your bills, to deposit in other banks, and so on. It also helps me a lot with my small business because most of my customers use GCash as a mode of payment,” said Hanah Jerthy Turalba, an employee at Wizard Manpower & Allied Services.

Thanks to GCash, these manpower agencies were able to have a safe and efficient payroll disbursement system, making it convenient for both the companies and employees.

Visible role models can help inspire more women leaders

Visible role models can help inspire more women leaders

 

Potential women leaders have been limited because of outdated gender norms and lack of mentoring and support. The visibility of successful female role models for girls and women is vital, particularly in fields that have long been dominated by men, like finance and technology. 

 

In the webinar entitled, “Is VC Funding for Women Founders Getting Any Better?” organized by DealStreetAsia, a Singapore-based financial news website, women leaders shared their insights on the gender disparity in venture capital (VC) funding and how women are capable of building their startups and becoming a leader. Among the panelists was GCash president and CEO Martha Sazon who shared the importance of visual role modeling in order to address the issue of a lack of female leaders.

 

“Leading by example is important. Women founders need to be shown more to people,” said Sazon.

 

Although finance and technology companies are mainly dominated by men and making it in these industries may seem intimidating to women, Sazon helped millions of Filipinos during the pandemic through the top fintech company, GCash. The Philippines’ leading mobile wallet company currently has 2.5 million merchants and a 46 million subscriber base, which is equivalent to more than 40 percent of the population having a GCash account. When Sazon was just starting her career at Globe, the top telecommunications company in the Philippines, she said it was initially dominated by men but now, women leaders have also emerged in the company. 

 

“We're opening up not just the tech industry but the fintech industry as well to women. Fintech is a good industry for women to thrive because women are naturally good decision makers and problem fixers,” said Sazon. “We have to create more ‘I want to be like her moments.’ Someone just has to pave the way for it,” she added. 

 

In order to have more women leaders, Sazon said that mentoring should start at a young age. She said it’s vital to guide women in high school about the right college course to take, the job that’s a good fit for them, and the right skill set in starting a business. “Young girls should be given more visual cues. As we provide them these visual cues and mentoring, we should be there to continuously guide them,” she said. 

 

She added, “We need to be shown to more people so we get to a point that we are ‘ordinary,’ that it becomes a normal thing for women to become successful with their decisions.”

 

Sazon said that encouraging more women to lead could be as easy as creating chat groups for women or building an organization to support them. She also shared that she’s fortunate to have had great mentors on her journey.

 

The presence of women in leadership roles and the opportunity to network with them is crucial in helping motivate other women to advance in their careers. These role models will ultimately inspire women to aim higher so they can then become an example to younger generations as well. 

 

Sazon also encouraged women to trust their capability, articulate their purpose and believe in it. She leads GCash with the “Finance for All” vision, offering digital products and services that are safe and convenient from paying bills via the app’s network of 600 billers to buying essentials on the GLife feature on the app.

GCash strengthens partnership with the public sector to promote digital financial inclusion for all

 

40M FILIPINOS and GROWING GCash strengthens partnership with the public sector

40 MILLION FILIPINOS and GROWING: GCash strengthens partnership with the public sector to promote digital financial inclusion for all

To fast-track economic recovery amid the pandemic, public and private sectors must unite and work together to achieve a more inclusive financial ecosystem for all Filipinos. This is the vision behind “One with the Nation: Forging Public-Private Partnerships Towards Digital Inclusion in the Philippines,” a webinar organized by GCash, the country’s no. 1 mobile wallet app in collaboration with various national government agencies and local government units (LGUs). 

The webinar featured distinguished speakers from both the  public  and private sectors led by  Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Gov. Benjamin Diokno, Makati Mayor Abby Binay, Congressman Jose Enrirque Garcia, DSWD Director Wayne Belizar, Bureau of Treasury of the Philippines OIC Deputy Treasurer Ed Marino,  BSP Deputy Dir. for Payment Systems Atty. Leah M. Irao, GCash President and CEO Martha Sazon, GCash Vice President for Enterprise Jose Luis Reyes and GCash AVP and Head of  Public Sector & Partnerships Cathlyn Pavia.

“Our partnerships with the private sector have provided us with a wide network to reach more customers and develop more relevant financial services and products,” said Martha Sazon, GCash president and chief executive officer. “But in order to truly reach the unbanked and underserved communities, we look to the public sector with their expertise and resources. Together, we can really make a difference in the lives of Filipinos.” 

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Gov. Benjamin Diokno

The event opened with a Keynote Message from BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno on “Digital Financial Inclusion: Impacting the Lives of Millions of Filipinos”. In his message to the participants, Governor Diokno underscored the importance of making financial inclusion a reality for every Filipino in the country. This was followed by a panel discussion on “Digital Infrastructure: The Journey Starts Today!” led by BSP deputy director Atty Leah M. Irao and Cong. Jose Enrique Garcia. Atty. Irao and Congressman Garcia discussed the value of digitalization to promote the safety and security of Filipinos even beyond the pandemic.

A talk on the importance of outlining a strategic path towards digital transformation was discussed next by Pavia in “Digital Roadmap: Are We Ready to Innovate?”. In her talk, Pavia emphasized the critical value of implementing digitalization in phases, and how digital solutions can be seamlessly integrated in order to create a hybrid approach and to facilitate smoother adoption.   

In his talk on “Digital Manual: 101 Opportunities to Move Forward!,” Director Marino discussed the long-term benefits of creating sound policies and guidelines, ensuring transparency during digital transformation.

Makati Mayor Abby Binay

Highlighting trailblazing partnerships going cashless, Makati Mayor Abby Binay led a panel entitled “Digital Headstart: Kaya Mo Pilipino!” In Makati, data of its constituents were collected and used to create the Makatizen ID card and open GCash accounts. The card serves as a valid ID that can be used to avail of government services, and a debit card to withdraw in any Bancnet ATM or use in Mastercard-accepting merchants. Likewise, Makati also uses GCash to disburse the salaries of employees, and allowances of senior citizens, and other financial assistance such as Maka-tulong. With Mayor Binay was DSWD Dir. Delizer who in turn shared the agency’s groundbreaking SAP disbursement program last year. 

This successful partnership at the height of the pandemic last year was the collaboration between GCash and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for safer distribution of funds for its Social Amelioration Program. GCash was able to distribute more than P16 billion to at least 2 million Filipinos, saving the government about 952 days and around P52 million. GCash continues to support DSWD in its Assistance for Individuals Under Crisis Situation program on a monthly basis.

The mobile app has also partnered with the Social Security System (SSS). Since February, SSS has enabled GCash as an option for receiving benefits through PESOnet. The app has provided SSS members an option to pay their monthly contribution payments via the app’s Pay Bills feature. Likewise for PAG-IBIG, contributions are also conveniently accepted via Pay Bills and Web Pay.

Closing the webinar was GCash VP for Enterprise Jose Luis Reyes who stressed the importance of financial inclusion and expressed optimism that despite today’s challenges, there is a clear way forward to achieve BSP’s vision and make Filipino lives better every day.

These programs are proof that strong partnerships between the private and public sectors are crucial in successfully bringing the benefits of digitalization and financial inclusion to Filipinos at a time when they need it most.

 Summary:

·         A strategic webinar that highlights the importance of private-public sector collaboration in achieving financial inclusion for Filipinos, featuring speakers including BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno, Congressman Jose Enique Garcia and Makati Mayor Abby Binay. The event gathered hundreds of society leaders, LGU officials, business sector executives and the media to discuss viable digital financial solutions for the country. 

·         Successful pioneering partnerships for cashless programs such as Makati LGU-GCash Makatizen ID card,  SSS-GCash partnership for fast and secure disbursement of SSS benefits; and the safe and timely distribution of funds for the DSWD’s Social Amelioration Program through GCash were discussed as best practices. 

·         GCash looks forward to collaborating with more LGUs and other national government agencies to promote digital synergy and identify financial solutions that will positively impact the lives of  millions of Filipinos nationwide, especially during this pandemic period.
