E-Commerce is currently getting to be a very big deal in the future of new media. If you want to learn more about e-commerce, on November 12 and 13, 2009 the Digital Filipino E-Commerce Summit 2009 will be held at Hotel Intercontinental Makati City. The 2-day educational seminar will be tackling e-commerce strategies and an interactive session with e-commerce players and key figures in the industry.

The said event will be sponsored by Globe GCASH. For their session in the E-commerce Summit, Ms. Rizza Maniego-Eala, current President of G-Xchange, Inc. will give a talk on the "Challenges and Opportunities in Mobile Money Transfer: Implementation of GCASH".

What is GCASH?

GCASH allows Globe and TM subscribers to pay or transact for the following using their mobile phone:

- domestic and international remittances (via GCASH REMIT)

- utility bills

- interest and amortization of loans

- insurance premiums

- donations to various institutions and organizations

- sales commissions and payroll disbursements

school tuition fees

- micro tax payments and business registration

- electronic loads and pins (can also be used for Immortal Load)

- online purchases via GCASH Click

- airline tickets

-tied up to BPI Mobile Banking for doing bank transactions via your mobile

I'm pretty excited to learn about GCASH Click, this integrates online payment via SMS with a pick-up and delivery service. This makes online home shopping safe and hassle-free!. This gives additional security because if you've made an online transaction, your payment won't be deducted until the merchandise has been delivered to you.
