Philippines Cards and Payments Market Dynamics
The central bank in the Philippines started allowing banks to establish smaller bank branches called branch-lite units to enhance financial inclusion in 2018. These locations offer a range of financial products and services such as bank accounts and debit cards, with a focus on areas that are unbanked or underserved.
Government financial inclusion efforts such as remote rural banking and financial education programs will push banking and debit card penetration. The emergence of digital-only banks will also help boost debit card market growth. Furthermore, the prevalence of smartphones, widespread internet penetration, the availability of secure online payment systems, and the increasing number of online shoppers all supported the e-commerce growth in the Philippines.
