The arrival of global digital wallets Apple Pay and Google Pay marks a significant milestone in the Philippines’ move toward a more secure and mature cashless payment system, according to payments enabler Fiuu.
The launch reflects growing consumer demand and the country’s readiness to meet international payment standards, though local banks still need to upgrade systems to support these wallets fully.
These digital wallets enhance security by masking card details and reducing fraud risks, offering consumers convenience with tap-to-pay and online checkout options.
Despite challenges, the introduction of Apple Pay and Google Pay is expected to push the Philippine financial sector to improve its security and interoperability.
Fiuu plans to expand its services in the country, providing integrated payment solutions to merchants once the wallets go live.
