Robin Wong
Robin Wong is the Chief Executive Officer of Mocasa, the Philippines' first virtual credit wallet. Robin is a seasoned professional with extensive experience in consumer finance and virtual credit card industries.
Having lived in developed countries, Robin became accustomed to the convenience of using credit cards for daily transactions. In 2019, during his first visit to the Philippines, Robin recognized the inconvenience of cash payments and the lack of comprehensive banking and financial services.
Inspired by the government's push for a cashless society and drawing insights from China's credit payment development, Robin foresaw the potential for the Philippines to leapfrog traditional credit cards and embrace digital credit payments directly.
