The Philippines is witnessing a surge in the adoption of embedded finance, a revolutionary approach integrating financial services seamlessly within non-financial ecosystems. The Philippines boasts a young, tech-savvy population with high smartphone penetration. This, coupled with a large unbanked segment, creates a fertile ground for embedded finance solutions.

Unveiling the Power of Embedded Finance: Traditional financial institutions often struggle to reach the unbanked and underbanked population in the Philippines. Embedded finance bridges this gap by integrating financial tools like payments, loans, and insurance directly into everyday platforms. Convenience and accessibility are driving growth of embedded finance companies in the Philippines.

Key Drivers of Philippines Embedded Finance Market: Several factors are propelling the Philippines’ embedded finance market forward:

Rising Mobile Adoption: With a high smartphone penetration rate, Filipinos are increasingly comfortable conducting financial transactions through their mobile devices. Embedded finance seamlessly integrates financial services within these familiar platforms, fostering convenience and accessibility. Between 2020 and 2023, the usage of mobiles at point of sale in the Philippines increased significantly.

Unbanked and Underbanked Population: A significant portion of the Philippine population remains unbanked or underbanked. Embedded finance offers them an alternative entry point into the financial system, bypassing traditional banking channels. Almost 44 to 50% or 34.3 to 36 million Filipino adults remain unbanked as of 2022, as per the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) – the Country’s central bank. Many of the unbanked live in rural and remote areas and have no access to banking services, such as savings accounts, credit cards, loans, and other forms of digital payments.

Major Fintechs Boosting Payment Gateway Ecosystem in Philippines: In the Philippines, digital payment gateways have emerged as vital stakeholders, revolutionizing the way individuals, businesses, and institutions manage their finances and transact consistently. Some digital payment gateways in the Philippines, includes D24, Dragonpay, PayMongo, PayMaya, and PesoPay.

Demand for Financial Services: Filipinos are increasingly seeking financial services like microloans, insurance, and investment options. Embedded finance caters to these needs by offering them within the context of everyday activities, such as online shopping or ride-hailing services.

Supportive Regulatory Landscape: The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the central bank, has adopted a forward-thinking approach to fintech regulation. This fosters innovation and encourages collaboration between traditional financial institutions and fintech players.
