#openfinance is our best chance at collectively closing the financial gap once and for all. That was the message I tried to deliver in my keynote address last week at The Digital Banker’s Southeast Asia Tour, Philippines leg. The Philippines has made great strides in recent years to bring more of the unbanked into the fold, but millions remain without bank accounts and access to credit. The country also ranks near the bottom of surveys for financial literacy. Open Finance, where banks and other financial providers share data in a controlled environment, can help the unbanked finally build a financial profile and a transaction history. It’s one answer to the perennial problem of lack of documentation. And it can help us support #MSMEs, the backbone of the economy, better with more tailored, more timely services to help them scale up. IFC, together with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and other partners, has been working hard over the past two years to develop an enabling environment for Open Finance to flourish here. We want to set the stage for a fairer, more inclusive, more resilient financial ecosystem in the Philippines—and we invite everyone to join us. #financialinclusion #openfinance #openfinanceph

During the past seven days, I had the privilege to spend many insightful hours with my Filipino partners, clients, and friends. Sharing ideas on how to move the ecosystem forward toward an economy that is fully inclusive, and taking advantage of available - but not necessarily easy accessible technological advances, such as digital onboarding, instant payments, eKYC, alternative credit scoring, and many others. My perspective is that although there are many hurdles to overcome, the momentum is starting to shift. Many financial institutions, FinTechs, and tech providers are starting to form critical alliances to move the ecosystem forward. It is once again clear that is not about individual players, but rather the digital ecosystem that needs to work together to resolve real pain points in the financial domain, and to create trust to enable certain demographics that have always been excluded. The very people that can't afford the high unhidden costs of moving cash around. My congratulations to the Fintech Association of the Philippines, the Rural Bankers Association, and so many other role players who are working together to make financial inclusion and a digital economy a reality in the Philippines. We here at Sybrin Philippines are committed to the small role we can play by bringing world class, fit-for-purpose and cost-effective solutions to the market. We are always there to provide our knowledge and experience, gained from other markets, to our partners and friends in this amazing market. #Sybrin #Fintech #SmileAPI #RBAP #Philippines #eKYC

This is the latest in a series of international collaborations, with UPI already operational in countries like Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Singapore, UAE, Bhutan, and Nepal. These nations are benefiting from UPI’s fast, secure, and smooth payments, as well as greater financial inclusion. Earlier, the NPCI had established partnerships with the Bank of Namibia and the Central Bank of Peru to assist them in developing their own real time payment systems akin to UPI. UPI’s interoperability, ease of use, and real time processing have drawn the attention of countries looking to improve their own payment ecosystems. But the real question is where will UPI head next?❓ As more nations explore this model, could we eventually see a globally connected digital payment network driven by UPI? It’s a bold vision, but one that seems increasingly possible with each new partnership.🤝 #UPI #DigitalPayments #FintechInnovation #GlobalFintech #UPIGlobal #FinancialInclusion #CashlessEconomy #RealTimePayments #SMBC
