GCash Forest adds social features to promote green lifestyle

To make planting trees more fun, the country’s leading mobile wallet app has added social features to GCash Forest, a personal carbon tracker in the GCash app that contributes to the reforestation and rehabilitation of the Ipo watershed through green energy points earned. 

Ney Villaseñor, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Mynt, the company behind GCash, said GCash Forest users—now numbering more than 860,000—can invite their friends to join the GCash Forest green movement by sending them a link with their favorite social media app, such as Facebook or Telegram.

They can also allow GCash to access their contacts list so the mobile app can send an invite to their friends to interact through GCash Forest.
