Philippines is one of the most dynamic economies in Asia but it is at a low level of individual financial inclusion, Local financial institutions are still 'slow' in adapting to IT innovation, Cash still accounted for 99% of local transactions

Although the Philippines took the global leader role in the “time spent on social media” category, the current digital banking landscape in the country is not advancing in a similar fashion.

The Philippines is one of the most dynamic economies in Asia, According to a study by consultancy Asian Banker Research, while the growth of retail banking income in the Philippines is expected to slow to about 12-13% (from about 17%) over the next few years, it will still be the second-fastest in the region after Vietnam. As a result of the anticipated slowdown, it is increasingly important for banks to look for new sources of income and control costs.

Technological innovations continue to shake even the banking industry, thus, the need to be open-minded and bold on how to tackle new ideas and developments in the sector.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas(BSP) intends to continue to foster an enabling ecosystem in the banking industry wherein competition and responsible innovations are encouraged to thrive. Banks in the Philippines have all the necessary tools and a supportive regulatory environment to lead the country into a new era of digital banking. To start this journey and to exploit the opportunities, banks have to focus on and invest in their digital strategy, which should involve not only technology, but also process and organizational reengineering. This is a holistic approach and while there are risk factors, the truth is that the change is inevitable whether or not banks are ready.
