Key Highlights

• To capitalize on the increasing uptake of mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) solutions among small and medium merchants such as insurance agents and food-delivery businesses, solution providers are offering low-cost mPOS services. For instance, Swiff, a mobile payment technology provider signed an agreement with G-Xchange, a mobile payment and remittance service provider in March 2014 to introduce Globe Charge, an mPOS service in the Philippines. Globe Charge is an Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) Level 2-certified service offering merchants different payment acceptance options including chip and PIN, chip and sign, and swipe and sign. Similarly, car-booking company GrabTaxi expanded its cashless payment service by entering into a partnership with Visa in May 2015. This agreement allows GrabTaxi vehicles to carry a Globe Charge terminal enabling passengers to make payments via a Visa debit, credit or prepaid card. The introduction of low-cost terminals is anticipated to encourage merchants to accept card-based payments, further driving payment card transaction volume and values.
• To provide enhanced card security, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) – the central bank of the Philippines, in November 2014, made it mandatory for banks to shift from the traditional magnetic stripe to more secure EMV chip cards by January 2017. Following this announcement, BancNet signed an agreement with Visa in February 2015 to accelerate the migration to EMV chip cards for all domestic transactions. In addition to cards, the migration process ensures that ATMs and POS terminals are compliant with the EMV standards. The increasing adoption of security measures is expected to encourage consumers to carry out more card-based transactions.
• Banks in the Philippines are offering bank accounts and debit cards enabling beneficiaries at home to receive funds to capitalize on the rising inflow of remittances from Filipinos residing abroad. A number of banks, including Banco de Oro, the Land Bank of the Philippines and the Philippines National Bank, have started offering remittance debit cards. More recently in September 2015, the Land Bank of the Philippines formed a partnership with Trans-Fast Remittance LLC, a provider of multi-currency cross-border payments solutions to enable Trans-Fast customers worldwide to make real-time instant money transfers into Land Bank accounts in the Philippines. The rising inflow of remittances is expected to increase demand for bank accounts and remittance debit cards.
