GCash parent Mynt joins WEF Unicorn Community

The Philippines has been invited to join the World Economic Forum (WEF) Unicorn Community, a group within the WEF’s Innovator Communities that includes the world’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups. This invitation highlights the country's progress in financial inclusion and fintech growth, and was extended directly to Mynt, the parent company of GCash, the leading finance super app in the Philippines.

Mynt, as the first and only Philippine member of the WEF Unicorn Community, brings its vision of Finance for All to global business leaders, policymakers, and decision-makers.

The World Economic Forum is a global organization focused on shaping economic policies and fostering public-private cooperation to address international issues. Its Innovator Communities include some of the world’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups focused on technological and business model innovation.

As part of the Unicorn Community, GCash will have the opportunity to contribute to discussions on how financial technology can help advance financial inclusion, particularly in countries like the Philippines.

“We are honored to be part of the World Economic Forum Unicorns Community—representing the Philippines and its booming fintech industry. This reflects our commitment to transforming financial services in our country and contributing to global financial inclusion and innovation conversations. We look forward to engaging with other leaders and exploring new ways to drive positive change,” said Martha Sazon, president and CEO of Mynt.

Founded in 1971 in Geneva, Switzerland, WEF works to build communities that tackle large-scale global challenges and turn ambition into action through structured initiatives.

This year’s annual forum will take place at Davos-Klosters in Switzerland from 20 to 24 January, bringing together thousands of key leaders from both public and private sectors. The theme of the event is “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age.”

As it continues to push for “Finance for All,” GCash aims to bridge financial gaps and improve everyday life for Filipinos, both within the country and beyond.
