GCash President and CEO Martha Sazon shared this fun fact at the 2022 Rotary District Conference where she talked about the big role GCash plays in the rise of the digital economy. Sazon was joined by the CEOs of BPI, Angkas, and Transportify. “It has become a verb. People say, ‘i-GCash mo ‘yan.’ I heard pa nga one time, ‘Ano ba ang GCash mo? Paymaya…?’.
