GCash Launched #PlsSaveMe Campaign

Savings is something we should teach our kids even at a very young age. Majority of Filipinos still have no bank accounts or don't even have enough savings in case of emergency. Did you know that October 31 is World Savings Day? It is celebrated a day before All Saints Day. On this day, everyone is encouraged to start saving and put an end to horror stories of seeing an empty wallet or bank account.

Are you constantly haunted by your dying bank account?

Afraid of opening your wallet and seeing that empty void?

Do you get scared when it’s time to pay the bills?

Let’s admit it. One thing scarier than ghosts is maintaining your finances. Like the paranormal,

it’s not easy to understand where your money goes. And the 66% of Filipinos who do not have

savings are on the same page.

To raise awareness on the issue, GCash recently launched their campaign #PlsSaveMe. Through it, more and more Filipinos are coming out to share their horror savings stories; it even became the #1 trending topic in the country a few weeks ago! Here are 5 of the scariest and frankly, most ironic.

Erica, a doctor who can save lives, but can’t save money. Kahit wallet, naghihingalo rin! (Wallets need saving too!)

Heninah, the art director who came up with the idea of #PlsSaveMe, but has no idea where her salary goes. Milk tea pa more

Daniel, a call center agent who attends to customers’ savings accounts, but can’t relate himself. 

Oops. Wrong number.

Leonora, an accountant you can count on to take care of money, but can’t be counted on to save for herself. Kumusta naman? (How is that so?)

Nico, an HR VP who takes care of employees, but can’t take care of his own savings.

World Savings Day, GCash aims to put an end to these #PlsSaveMe horror stories and get more Filipinos to open a savings account. GCash users enjoy 12x higher interest rates than the country’s #1 bank, with no minimum deposit required. With only 1 valid ID, you can now open and track your savings account anytime, anywhere.
