Philippines Leading Emerging Nations in Introducing Mobile Banking

P

Rising mobile penetration in the Philippines will expand the mobile banking user base to beyond 11 Million by the end of 2011, according to a new research report, “Philippines Banking Sector Analysis”, from RNCOS.

The green signal from the Philippines government to telecom operators to make free partnership with banks has opened a slew of opportunities for the banking industry. Now Filipinos can use their mobile phones as ‘virtual wallets’. This has made the Philippines the leader among the developing countries in offering financial transactions over mobile networks. Thus, with increasing number of mobile subscribers and increasing level of mobile penetration, the mobile banking will see tremendous growth in future.

Also, the introduction of e-banking services and subsequent innovations in them had played critical role in changing the landscape of local banking industry. e-banking has made it more convenient for customers to use a number of popular interfaces like Internet, web-enabled mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for financial transactions anytime, anywhere. With the introduction of mobile banking, the customer convenience has moved a step ahead.

Thus, mobile phone is fast evolving as a major payment instrument, posing a tough challenge to the well-established traditional credit and debit cards.
