The Future of Philippine Payments Industry: A Technology Foresight by 2022Maurice Gonzales, MTM
The document provides a technology foresight study on the future of the Philippine payments industry by 2022. It finds that 86% of Filipinos do not have bank accounts, and mobile payments currently make up 41% of the fintech industry. The study uses literature reviews, surveys, and input from experts to develop four scenarios for 2022: 1) financial products shift to serve the unbanked, 2) customers have more choice in an open payments ecosystem, 3) Philippines achieves a cashless society, and 4) customers are the top priority in the industry. Recommendations focus on security, collaboration between traditional and emerging players, and empowering retailers and SMEs to accept digital payments.
A detailed survey of 5,500 women across Asia’s major urban areas conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit finds that they are increasingly empowered financially and that they are driving the explosive growth of e-commerce in the region. The survey results are published in a report entitled On the rise and online: Female consumers in Asia. The report was commissioned by VIPSHOP.
Across the eight markets covered, 41% of the women surveyed say they are joint breadwinners in their household and another 8% say they are sole breadwinners. The trend is particularly pronounced in mainland China, where 62% of women describe themselves as joint breadwinners. Women are also showing increasing independence in handling finances—just over two-thirds report having their own bank accounts (76% in mainland China) and 48% hold their own credit cards.
Nearly half of women polled (49%) say they prefer shopping online to doing so in stores. The figure is as high as 69% in mainland China. There are several reasons why women prefer online shopping. Most women point to cost savings (62%) and time savings (60%), but they also feel that online retailers can be relied upon to have the products they want to buy in stock (59%) and that online shopping offers a broader range of choices (56%). Nearly half of women (48%) say they feel pressured and stressed in traditional shops (more than 50% of women in Macau, South Korea, India and mainland China feel this way), and 27% feel store staff talk down to them because they are women (a sentiment that is most pronounced in Macau, India and mainland China).
For many women, online shopping has become a favourite pastime. Among the survey respondents, 63% say they browse the Internet for products and services at least once per day, with nearly 30% doing so twice or more per day. Nearly 90% of the women surveyed buy some clothing and accessories online (39% buy the majority of their clothing this way) and 83% buy some cosmetics (29% buy the majority of their cosmetics online).
Many of the trends uncovered in the research are driven by the younger generation, suggesting that the move toward online shopping in general, the shift to shopping on mobile devices, and a preference for being addressed on a personal level by marketers are likely to intensify. Among 18 to 29-year-olds, 53% prefer shopping online rather than offline, compared to 48% among 30-49-year-olds and 42% for those between 50 and 60 years of age. Similarly, 58% of 18-29-year-old shop on their phones, compared to 38% of 40-49-year-olds.
This document is an Economist Intelligence Unit report commissioned by VIPSHOP that analyzes female consumers in Asia. It finds that Asian women are increasingly empowered economically, with 43% holding managerial or professional jobs and most contributing to household income.

The report also finds that women are driving growth in online shopping in the region, with many preferring it over offline shopping due to lower prices, more reliable product availability, and a less stressful shopping environment. Younger women especially show a preference for online and mobile shopping.

3. Technology will continue to blend payments
and commerce into all aspects of our lives
Tareq Muhmood
Group Country Manager, Regional Southeast Asia
UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL
OF PAYMENTS IN A
HYPER-DIGITAL WORLD
3
The past year has been one of transition. Economies
have been building on momentum created by the
acceleration of digital payments usage during the
pandemic, as consumers and businesses are pulled
into an increasingly hyper-digitalised world. With more
ways to pay, and more places for commerce to
happen, the digital economy in Southeast Asia is
projected to hit USD1 trillion by 20301
.
To help you navigate this new era in payments, I’m
proud to present findings from the eighth edition of
our annual Visa Consumer Payment Attitudes study.
The report provides key consumer insights based on
the latest trends in payments, changing moments of
commerce, and smarter consumer journeys powered
by technology and innovation.
In Southeast Asia, payments and commerce are being
defined by convenient and intuitive experiences that
blend across all aspects of life. Preference for cashless
payments continues to grow, and nearly four in five
(77%) Southeast Asian consumers plan to use cashless
payments more often. This is driven by the
widespread use of mobile wallets (52%) and
contactless card payments (44%), as well as rising
interest in the use of new methods such as Buy Now
Pay Later (BNPL) solutions (63%).
With eCommerce and omni-channel retail becoming
more prevalent, consumers expect shopping
touchpoints to be embedded in our everyday lives.
This has led to the rise of social media and livestream
shopping as our world gradually becomes a
marketplace. As shopping channels and consumer
purchases evolve to become increasingly digital —
from downloadable shoes and non-fungible tokens
(NFTs) to digital-only goods in the metaverse —
businesses need to keep pace and adapt. Now more
than ever is the time for businesses to re-examine
operations and processes to go fully digital.
As the trusted engine of commerce, Visa wants to use
the diverse capabilities of our network to enable
individuals, businesses and economies to thrive.
Working together with our strategic partners, we will
continue to build and redefine the future of
payments, making innovative payment experiences
accessible to all, powering lifestyles and businesses
around the world.
We hope that this report will provide valuable insights
to the industry, from current trends to breakthroughs
on the horizon, enabling moments of commerce for
consumers and businesses that are more intuitive,
seamless, and secure.

Digital solutions continue to redefine the way people shop
and pay. Across Southeast Asia, 93 percent of consumers use
a multitude of cashless payment methods including cards,
contactless cards and mobile contactless, mobile wallets and
QR code payments. This is led by consumers in Singapore
(97%), Malaysia (96%), Indonesia (95%) and Vietnam (95%).
However, an increasing number of consumers are opting for
cashless payments in markets where cash remains dominant,
such as Cambodia, the Philippines and Vietnam.
Nearly four in five Southeast
Asian consumers plan to use
cashless payment methods more
often, particularly those in
Thailand (89%), Vietnam (83%),
Malaysia (78%), Indonesia (78%)
and the Philippines (78%). This
could be due to three in four
(75%) consumers perceiving
cashless methods as a safer way
to pay, especially in Thailand
(86%), Vietnam (80%) and the
Philippines (79%). As such, nearly
three in four Southeast Asian
consumers (72%) support their
governments’ plans to develop
their nations into cashless
societies, and more than two in
three (68%) prefer shopping at
stores that accept cashless
payments.

With consumers having increasingly digital lifestyles, 70 percent of
Southeast Asian consumers have attempted to go fully cashless. This
trend is led by Thailand (87%), the Philippines (84%) and Vietnam (77%).
More than half of Southeast Asian consumers (53%) believe they can go
cashless successfully for a week or longer, especially consumers in
Vietnam (64%), Thailand (63%) and the Philippines (62%).
The pandemic accelerated the region's transition towards a cashless
society by between at least two to four years for every country except
Vietnam. Across the region, the average number of days consumers
have been successful in going cashless increased by 14.6 percent to 11.6
days (nearly two weeks). Countries where consumers were most
successful in going fully cashless include Vietnam (average of 13.7
days), Malaysia (average of 12.9 days) and the Philippines (12.5 days).

Since the start of the pandemic, more than half of Southeast Asian consumers
use cash less frequently (56%), particularly those in Indonesia (68%), the
Philippines (66%), and Malaysia (60%). Nearly three in five (57%) have less cash in
their wallets, especially consumers in Vietnam (65%), Indonesia (64%), and
Thailand (61%). Fourteen percent of Southeast Asian consumers currently do not
use cash, compared to just 10 percent the previous year. This trend is led by
consumers in Cambodia (36%), Singapore (17%) and Malaysia (16%).
Safety and convenience are key
considerations motivating
Southeast Asian consumers’
usage of cashless payments.
Consumers today carry less cash
due to rising use of contactless
payments (69%) or card
payments (49%), safety concerns
of carrying cash (43%), greater

options (42%), and fear of losing

cashless include mobile wallets (52%), card payments by
swipe/insert (47%) and contactless card payments (44%).
Usage of card payments for online transactions (57%) is also
high in the region.
However, payment
preferences of Southeast
Asian consumers remain
diverse. Preference for
cash in the region is limited
to less than one-third of
consumers (32%). The most

Contactless cards remain prevalent across Southeast
Asia. In the past year, there is growth in both number
of users as well as frequency of use for more than half
of consumers in Southeast Asia. Nearly half of
Southeast Asian consumers (44%) currently use
contactless cards, compared to 38 percent in 2020.
Popular usage is led by consumers in Singapore (74%),
Malaysia (56%) and Thailand (49%). More than three in
five Southeast Asian consumers (63%) increased their
use of contactless card payments during COVID-19,
particularly consumers in Indonesia (69%), the
Philippines (69%), and Malaysia (68%).
Contactless cards are poised for
further growth in the region, due
to high awareness (69%) and
interest (75%) among non-users.
Awareness is highest in
Singapore (90%), Thailand (87%)
and Malaysia (84%), consumers
in the Philippines (89%), Thailand
(86%) and Vietnam (83%) are
most interested to use this
payment method.

Despite being less common in the region, mobile
contactless payments continue to gain traction in
markets where they are available — namely
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Nearly
half of consumers in these markets (45%) currently
use mobile contactless payments, compared to
43 percent in the previous year. Use of mobile
contactless payments is led by Thailand (51%),
Singapore (49%), and Malaysia (40%). Two-thirds of
Southeast Asian consumers used mobile contactless
payments more frequently since the pandemic,
mainly consumers in Thailand (68%), Vietnam (67%)
and Singapore (59%).
The growth potential of mobile contactless remains
strong in countries where it is currently available due
to high awareness (79%) and interest (73%) among
non-users. Awareness of mobile contactless
payments is strongest in Thailand (88%), Singapore
(86%) and Malaysia (80%), while consumers in
Thailand (87%), Vietnam (80%) and Malaysia (72%)
are most interested to adopt this payment method.

experiences in Southeast Asia,
but less than two in five
Southeast Asian consumers
currently use QR codes for
payments. QR code payments
are most often used in Thailand
(52%), Indonesia (50%), Singapore
(36%) and Cambodia (36%).
The salience of QR codes is likely
to drive the growth of QR code
payments in Southeast Asia, with
high awareness (83%) and
interest (74%) from non-users.
Consumers in the Philippines

Although it is a relatively new payment
solution, nearly two-thirds of Southeast Asian
consumers have used Buy Now Pay Later
(BNPL) solutions — short-term financing
solutions that allow consumers to make
purchases immediately but pay for them
later, often via interest-free instalments.
Nearly one in three (29%) Southeast Asian
consumers have used it more than twice in
the past year, while almost one in five (19%)
used it once or twice in the last two years.
BNPL is most commonly used by consumers
in Thailand (72%), Vietnam (66%) and the
Philippines (65%), with more than three in
five consumers in these markets trying the
payment solution at least once.
Thailand leads Southeast Asia in frequency of
BNPL usage, with two in five Thai consumers
(41%) using it more than twice in the past
year, followed by Indonesia (35%) and the
Philippines (31%). Key barriers to the adoption
of BNPL solutions across the region include
high interest rates (51%), ability of consumers
to pay in full (49%), and fear of spending
beyond their means (41%).
BUY NOW PAY LATER
Cards and mobile wallets are two of the more prevalent digital payment
methods in the region. Although three in five Southeast Asian
consumers (61%) use both methods, nearly two in three (65%) prefer
mobile wallets over cards. Preference for mobile wallets is driven by
consumers in Indonesia (81%), Vietnam (75%), and the Philippines (73%),
while consumers in Singapore (68%) and Cambodia (68%) show a
preference for using their cards to pay.
While both methods are considered fast and convenient, the
preference for card payments is driven by wider acceptance by
merchants (43%).

across the region (92%), less than one in four Southeast
Asian consumers (22%) have invested in cryptocurrency.
However, more than half of those who have not invested in
cryptocurrencies (54%) have indicated interest to do so in
future, which shows its vast growth potential. The majority
of interested consumers are from the Philippines (70%),
Thailand (69%), and Vietnam (66%).

Awareness of biometric payments remains high among Southeast Asian consumers
(75%), but certain barriers to usage mute consumer interest. Only two-thirds of
consumers (66%) are interested in biometric payments, with consumers from
Thailand (81%), Vietnam (81%), Indonesia (73%), and the Philippines (73%) leading the
region. While convenience (59%), the novelty of the payment method (56%), and
transaction security (53%) drive interest in biometric payments, more needs to be
done to address concerns around the security of consumers’ biometric data (43%),
potential difficulties during setup (32%), as well as the reliability and availability of such
transactions (28%).
Finger scanning (87%)
and facial recognition
(72%) remain the most
popular biometric
payment methods,
likely due to their
current widespread
usage on mobile
devices. Interest in
voice recognition
(45%) and retinal scans
(44%) for payment is
much more
conservative.

While current ownership of digital identities in the region is
low (18%), both awareness (71%) and interest among
non-owners (63%) are relatively high. Digital identity
ownership, awareness, and interest are highest in Thailand,
Indonesia, and Vietnam, and are expected to show

Impact of COVID-19
on shopping channels
eCommerce continues to be widely used across the
region; almost two in three (62%) Southeast Asian
consumers shopped more frequently through apps or
websites. However, with the emergence of new retail
options and experiences, consumers are also
exploring a variety of shopping channels. Almost half
of Southeast Asian consumers (45%) shopped more
frequently via proximity stores (direct delivery at
home after ordering by phone) and almost two in five
(39%) shopped more frequently via social media.
Online shopping is becoming a growing habit, with
three in five consumers shopping less frequently at
physical outlets compared to two in five (44%) in 2020.
Big online marketplaces continue to rise in popularity
during the pandemic, with more than half of
Southeast Asian consumers (55%) patronising them
more frequently. Nearly half (48%) and more than
one-third of consumers (34%) also shop more often to
support home-based and local businesses
respectively.

New shopping channels have also gained
traction during the pandemic. More than

via applications or websites for the first
time due to COVID-19, and this trend was
led by consumers in Indonesia (72%),
Vietnam (66%), and Thailand (65%). Two

shopped with proximity stores (42%) and
via social media channels (40%) for the
first time. Vietnam, Thailand, and the

trends.

The pandemic has further accelerated the growth of home
delivery across the region, with 88 percent of Southeast
Asian consumers now using home delivery, compared to
83 percent in 2020. Home delivery is particularly popular
among consumers in Thailand (96%), Indonesia (95%) and
the Philippines (93%).
Almost two-fifths (38%) of consumers used home delivery
for the first time during the pandemic. The frequency of
home deliveries has also increased dramatically, with
Southeast Asian consumers opting for home delivery an
average of 7.2 times out of 10 (compared to an average of
3.4 times out of 10 pre-pandemic). Consumers in Thailand,
Indonesia and the Philippines lead the region in frequency
of home deliveries.
Almost three in four consumers use online payment before
delivery (73%), making it the the top preferred payment
method for deliveries in Southeast Asia. This trend is led by
Malaysia (84%), Indonesia (83%), and Singapore (76%).
There is opportunity for growth in markets such as the
Philippines (63%) and Cambodia (43%), where
cash-on-delivery remains the default payment method for
home deliveries.

However, many consumers still prefer to hold their main banking accounts with
traditional banks (60%) rather than with digital banks.
Despite this, digital banks are preferred in the areas of offering 24-hour banking
(35%), lower overall costs (32%) and convenience (30%). Traditional banks on the
other hand are preferred for safety (27%), reliability (25%) and positive customer
experiences (24%). Consumer receptiveness towards digital banks is significantly
higher in Indonesia (49%) and the Philippines (45%) compared to other markets.

36. Considering this, the adoption
of digital banking services is
expected to rise as Southeast
Asia’s banking landscape
continues to see liberalisation.
In Singapore for instance, four
recipients of digital banking
licenses plan to begin
operations in 20222
, and the
Philippines granted six digital
banking licenses in 20213
.
Malaysia has just awarded five
digital banking licenses in April
20224
, while Thailand5
and
Indonesia6
are exploring licenses
for fully digital banks.

have altered lives and payment behaviours.
The latest survey was commissioned by Visa and conducted with CLEAR from
August to September 2021, among 6,520 consumers aged 18 – 65 years of age in
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
