I. Company and Market Assignment

Brief Company Overview

Mynt, a Globe Telecom subsidiary, created the mobile wallet service GCash. Almost 76
million users, or 67% of the country's population, are registered as of 2023, making it the most
widely used digital wallet in the Philippines. Users can transfer and receive money, pay bills,
purchase items, and shop online with GCash. In addition, it provides a wide range of additional
features, like insurance and investment goods, that make it an application from fintech that offers
services outside of the financial services industry.

Why this Market

The country UAE is an advanced country which is also the reason why they are close to
becoming cashless payments. According to a Bank in Dubai, two-thirds of UAE customers
believe that by 2030, the country will have completely moved to cashless transactions. The
banking system is becoming more digital as more customers want a more customized experience
and the convenience of accessing a large range of financial services from home.

Market Research

Since PayPal is the only electronic payment they have we can introduce GCash to them, Gcash
also offers money transfers, pay bills, purchase items, and many more. Giving them some options
to choose from. Using their cell phones, consumers may instantly make payments, eliminating the
need to carry cash or visit ATMs. Businesses gain from the instant shift to digital transactions as
well because it speeds up payments and enhances their cash flow.

II. Globalization and Regional Integration

Impact of Globalization:

The UAE is one of the main partners of the Philippines for OFWs. And if people work abroad,
they always send money at home. As globalization rises in parallel with the advancement of technology,
the usage of smartphones, the internet, and the idea of sending money and remittances with just the tip of
your finger heavily influence G-cash to have a big potential to push into international services of
transferring money and compete to the other remittance services such as Western Union and other
PeraPadala companies. The Idea of sending money anytime and anywhere through the use of technology
will give G-cash a big advantage. For the world economic effect, the increase of fast movement of money
by easily sending money and remittances using technology compared to previous decades also increases
the world economy drastically, and this is also one of the main opportunities to ride on this trend to create
a stable business as many countries will support and keep this kind of services on the international
market.

Regional integration impact:

G-cash primary and initial target customers will be the OFWs and other Filipino
businessmen. UAE has been maintaining a strong friendship with the Philippines and a good
diplomatic relationship, especially with the OFW-related diplomatic code and agreements. This
strong tie between the two countries will assure G-cash of stable performance and a secure
relationship with consumers as the OFWs and other businesses will love the idea of G-cash
transfer money in a very convenient and fast way. UAE -Philippines bilateral relationship also
keeps on improving ties by extending and adding more agreements for OFWs and labor codes.
This continuity of good relationship between both countries can also give G-cash a great
opportunity of an idea to invest in a long-term business and possibly expansion of other possible
services internationally by adding more products such as internet and telecom products.

Assistance Market Adoption Innovation Protection
- Stability of - Growth - - Security - Data
Government of Digital Pandemic Privacy
Payments Impact

Political

To provide an advantageous environment for GCash's expansion, the PH government is


encouraging digital transformation, including cashless transactions. Political stability is
necessary for GCash and other digital services to succeed. Changes in politics may have
an impact on economic policies that affect laws affecting financial technology. GCash is
obliged to abide by UAE laws pertaining to digital wallets and financial services. GCash
must guarantee compliance with the banking and remittance regulations of the UAE.

Economic

One of the main reasons supporting the money transfer market is the big OFW
population. GCash's usefulness is increased by providing a practical and economical
means of receiving payments. Convenient digital payment options like GCash are in high
demand in the Philippines due to the growth of e-commerce and money transfers.
Because of the UAE's greater average income, there may be more financial services
available through GCash, including credit, investment, and savings options.

Social

6 | Page
As more individuals use digital wallets for accessibility and convenience, GCash's
growth has been pushed by the growing use of smartphones and internet connectivity in
both urban and rural areas. Since the pandemic the use of GCash and other digital
payment platforms has significantly increased as a result of the pandemic pushing people
toward cashless transactions for concerns of safety and health. The UAE's high internet
and smartphone adoption rate supports GCash's mobile-first strategy.

Technological

To deliver smooth transactions, loans, savings accounts, and other services, GCash
utilizes the most recent advancements in financial technology. The user experience can
be improved by continuing developments in financial and mobile technologies. GCash
must consistently make investments to protect its systems from fraud, hacking, and data
breaches. The UAE is a technologically advanced nation that offers an inviting
environment for financial and digital wallets.

Legal

To comply with consumer protection regulations and transparency of legal issues, GCash
must guarantee equal treatment of users, clear fees, and strong customer support. To
protect customer data, GCash must strictly abide by the Data Privacy Act of the
Philippines. This entails managing user consent and stringent data management
procedures. It is important to make sure that data privacy laws in the Philippines and the
UAE are followed.

Environmental

Despite being a digital platform, GCash may support environmental sustainability by


decreasing the need for physical bank branches and transactional paper use. GCash's
digital format can appeal to UAE citizens who want to lessen their environmental effects.

B. Cultural Analysis

UAE's main cultural difference that always needs to be considered is being a Muslim country.
These cultural differences mostly affect food and other physical services industries. But for
Gcash, since it will only provide remittances and money transfers, the only thing that they need to
avoid is the business cultural differences which are very minor such as business hours for praying
time, holidays and business etiquette that can easily adapt without adjusting or changing any
business operations for Gcash.

C. Legal and Regulatory Considerations

One of the legal aspects and regulations created by the UAE for accepting foreign businesses is
the freezone which are considered as economic zones. These are Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Gcash
can apply its business to these freezone to have a 100% ownership for a foreign business
application which will give a high profitability and avoid possible conflict of interest if they need
to share its ownership. Benefits of obtaining freezone business license:

 Strategic Location
 Streamlined Business Setup
 Favorable Tax Environment
 100% Foreign Ownership
 Business-Friendly Environment
 Simplified Regulatory Compliance

Another regulation that Gcash needs to consider is the tax system. UAE is also
implementing Value added tax (VAT), and other income tax that might cause a double
taxation (one is from UAE and the 2nd will be on Philippine Tax). But this can be avoided
as the newly implemented law was signed which is the double taxation treaties for
foreign businesses to give tax.

IV. Market Entry Strategy

 GCash, a leading mobile wallet service from the Philippines, has expanded its services
to the UAE to reach the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) market. Its strategy
includes:

 Targeting OFWs in the country, GCash focuses on addressing the remittance needs of
the Filipino population in the UAE, allowing them to send money seamlessly to their
families in the Philippines at a low cost. The partnership with local remittance
companies simplifies this process for OFWs.

 Strategic Partnerships, GCash collaborates with international remittance platforms like


Remitly, Al Ansari Exchange, and MoneyGram. This helps build a broader network for
easier cross-border transactions.

 Localized Services, In addition to remittance services, GCash aims to localize its


offerings by providing features such as bill payments, e-commerce support, and savings
options, catering to the unique needs of the Filipino community abroad.

 Digital Financial Inclusion, GCash promotes financial inclusion by offering micro-


loans, insurance, and savings products, helping OFWs and their families in the
Philippines gain better access to financial services.

 User-Friendly Mobile Interface, With its user-friendly mobile app, GCash enhances the
customer experience by making transactions seamless and secure. Its focus on ease of
use ensures strong adoption in a tech-savvy migrant market.

 These strategies allow GCash to solidify its presence in the United Arab Emirates,
offering valuable financial services to Filipinos working abroad while fostering a
connection with their families back home.

VII. Conclusions and Recommendations

Our analysis of GCash's potential entry into the UAE market has revealed several key
insights and led to the development of targeted strategies:

1. Market Opportunity: The UAE presents a significant opportunity for GCash, driven by:

 A large Filipino expatriate community (estimated at over 700,000)


 The UAE's rapid progression towards a cashless economy
 Growing demand for digital financial services

2. Competitive Landscape: The UAE fintech market is competitive, with established local and
international players. GCash's unique positioning as a Filipino-centric service provider offers a
distinct advantage.

3. Regulatory Environment: The UAE's financial regulations differ from those in the
Philippines, requiring careful navigation and compliance.

4. Cultural Considerations: Adapting to local cultural norms and preferences will be crucial for
success in the UAE market.

Proposed strategies to address these insights include:

 Phased market entry focusing initially on Filipino expatriates


 Strategic partnerships with local entities
 Robust compliance and localization efforts
 Leveraging data analytics for personalized services
 Focus on Financial Inclusion.

19 | Page
Recommendations:

Recommendation # 1:Launch a phased market entry strategy.

GCash should implement a phased approach to entering the UAE market. This could
involve initially focusing on serving the Filipino expatriate community before gradually
expanding to other expatriate groups and local users. This approach allows GCash to
build a strong foundation and reputation in the market while learning and adapting to
local needs and regulations.

Recommendation #2: Develop strategic partnerships with local entities.

To overcome the challenges of limited brand recognition and intense competition, GCash
should forge strategic partnerships with established UAE-based companies. This could
include collaborations with local banks, popular retailers, or telecom providers. Such
partnerships can provide GCash with immediate credibility, access to a broader customer
base, and insights into local market dynamics.

Recommendation #3: Invest in robust compliance and localization efforts.

To address regulatory challenges and cultural barriers, GCash should invest heavily in
compliance and localization efforts. This includes hiring local legal experts, establishing
a dedicated compliance team for the UAE market, and adapting the app's interface and
features to align with local preferences and needs. Offering the app in multiple languages
(including Arabic, English, and Filipino) and providing culturally sensitive customer
support will be crucial for success.

Recommendation #4: Leverage data analytics for personalized services.

20 | Page
To differentiate itself in the competitive UAE market, GCash should harness the power
of data analytics to offer highly personalized financial services. By analyzing user
transaction patterns and preferences, GCash can provide tailored product
recommendations, personalized financial advice, and targeted promotions. This data-
driven approach can enhance user engagement and loyalty, setting GCash apart from
competitors.

Recommendation #5: Focus on Financial Inclusion.

GCash should extend its successful financial inclusion initiatives to the UAE market,
particularly targeting underbanked expatriate communities. This could involve
developing micro-loan products, offering low-cost remittance services, and providing
digital savings solutions tailored to the needs of expatriate workers. By positioning itself
as a champion of financial inclusion, GCash can differentiate its offerings, attract a loyal
customer base, and potentially collaborate with UAE government initiatives aimed at
increasing financial access for all residents.

Long-Term Market Potential

Expanding User Base: As GCash establishes itself in the Filipino expatriate community, there's
potential to expand to other expatriate groups and local users, significantly increasing the
addressable market.

Diversification of Services: The UAE's advanced financial ecosystem provides opportunities for
GCash to introduce new services beyond remittances, such as investment products, digital
banking services, and cross-border e-commerce solutions.

Regional Expansion: Success in the UAE could serve as a springboard for expansion into other
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, leveraging similar expatriate demographics and
regulatory environments.

21 | Page
Technological Innovation: The UAE's emphasis on technological advancement aligns well with
GCash's innovative approach, potentially leading to the development of cutting-edge fintech
solutions.

Strategic Value: Establishing a strong presence in the UAE enhances GCash's global profile,
potentially attracting international investors and partners.
