  • The State of Digital Payments in the Philippines (Released in 2015) Found That Adoption Had Been Limited
    COUNTRY DIAGNOSTIC The State of Digital Payments in the Philippines DECEMBER 2019 PHILIPPINES Authors Project Leads: Keyzom Ngodup Massally, Rodrigo Mejía Ricart Technical authors: Malavika Bambawale, Swetha Totapally, and Vineet Bhandari Cover photo: © Better Than Cash Alliance/Erwin Nolido 1 FOREWORD Our country was one of the first to pioneer digital payments nearly 20 years ago. Recognizing the untapped market potential and the opportunity to foster greater access to financial inclusion, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has worked, hand in hand, with the government and the leaders across financial, retail, and regulatory sectors to boost digital payments. Over the past three years, since the launch of the first digital payments diagnostic, the Philippines has experienced remarkable progress toward building an inclusive digital payments ecosystem. In 2013, digital payments accounted for only 1% of the country’s total transaction volume. In 2018, this follow through diagnostic study showed that the volume of digital payments increased to 10% corresponding to 20% share in the total transaction value. These numbers speak of significant progress and success. I am optimistic that e-payments will gain further momentum as we have laid the necessary building blocks to accelerate innovation and inclusive growth over the next few years. Notably, Filipino women are ahead of men in the uptake of digital payments, placing us ahead of global standards. The rise of fintech and their solutions are starting to play a transformative role, as we can see from the rapidly-growing adoption of the emerging QR codes for digital transactions. I am confident that the BSP has built a good digital foundation and is well positioned to leverage fintech in increasing the share of digital payments toward a cash- lite Philippines.

  • Mclean Roche Consulting Group
    McLean Roche Consulting Group Global Payments 2020-30 A seismic shift in the next ten years Australia’s challenge – to keep up 1 Submission To Treasury Inquiry – Payments System Review 2020/21 McLean Roche Consulting Group AUSTRALIA’S PAYMENT CHALLENGE Australian payments will see more change in the next 10 years than the last 30 years combined. Considering the economic and strategic importance of payments this Inquiry is critical, as it sets up the next two decades. It is most concerning that such a key Inquiry is being undertaken with such haste – announced in October 2020, with a completion date of April 2021 is unnecessary haste given the size and scale of the issues. Legacy Systems Australia has an expensive US/Anglo legacy based payments system which will be challenged by new technology, new data uses, new players and the need to protect consumer rights and data. The need for updating systems and change comes at a cost, who will pay? Competition The need for real competition is the single biggest issue – yet barely rates a mention. The UK made competition and consumers major requirements in 2013 which has resulted in major changes in competition with a flood of new players. COVID-19 Covid-19 has seen many consumers move to a ‘digital’ way of life accelerating key trends – both positively and negatively. Covid-19 lockdowns combined with many consumers realising it was safer working at home, have changed spending habits and usage. The question is will these habits remain as permanent behaviour once Covid- 19 is over? Digital Challenge Since 2004 rest of the world has moved to innovate by using instant, low cost, real time ‘digital’ payments based on the global ISO 20022 standard.
