JFINEX-PUP has partnered with GCash to organize a webinar for financial management students both within and outside the university. The webinar, titled "Season's Savings: Practicing Good Saving Habits Amidst the Holiday Rush," aims to help students develop good saving habits as the season of giving approaches.

In this webinar, financial students will learn how to effectively use GCash to save money, make payments, and understand various features such as bank transfers, GSave, GInsure, and GInvest, as well as rewards and vouchers.

GCash offers two products: EZSave+ and UNO Bank. With EzySave, you can easily open a bank account through Maybank and enjoy free withdrawals and a free debit card on your first deposit of $100,000 or more, with no minimum deposit and no maintenance balance.

On the other hand, with UnoReady@Gcash by UNO Bank, you can open an account by depositing 100 pesos and kickstart your savings journey. This event is a great opportunity to learn the practical application of personal savings and gain control over your holiday savings.

In his opening remarks as JFINEX-PUP President, Mark Christian Santos states that the event focuses on practicing good savings habits, responsible spending during the holiday season, and learning about GCash.

During the event, the Product Education Manager of Gcash Wealth Management, Ms. Kate Jennifer Enrile, as their speaker, discussed the importance of saving for short-term or near-future needs, emphasizing its use as a financial tool for students.

It was highlighted that there are several top reasons for saving money, such as emergencies, health and medical expenses, retirement, education, house purchases, and business capital and investments.

Ms. Enrile emphasized that "without savings, you cannot progress on your financial journey" as having savings would enable individuals to establish a safety net to prevent financial challenges.

She also pointed out the significance of savings for a secure financial future, addressing challenges like limited budgets, lack of knowledge, unexpected expenses, and temptations to spend on sales. By tracking income and spending wisely, individuals can identify money management and achieve financial goals.

During her presentation, Ms. Kate emphasized effective strategies for saving money, including setting a fixed amount or percentage of monthly income, creating a monthly schedule or automating savings, building an emergency fund, creating separate "buckets" for different savings goals, and seeking high-interest savings accounts to maximize returns.

If you're wondering where to start your own savings journey, GCash offers a platform called GSave, which allows you to open and access a savings account provided by trusted partners such as UNO Digital Bank, Maybank, BPI, and GSave by CIMB. All of these partners are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, ensuring their reliability and security.

Due to its ease of use, GCash has emerged as one of the go-to options for hassle-free financial transactions because, with GCash, you can easily receive and transfer money without going through the stressful process of long queues and waiting times.

You can now pay for monthly bills online and avoid the inconvenience of standing in line, as well as set reminders for the due dates so you never miss any payments and take advantage of the exciting promos, savings, and vouchers to enjoy great deals and discounts.

In that sense, GCash can be a platform for saving that empowers you to take control of your finances and enjoy a stress-free lifestyle.
