All delegates at WFIS 2025 - Philippines came with a pre-determined timeline for the procurement and implementation of new solutions. Here’s a quick representation.
Fueled by the cohesive efforts of both government and private entities, the Philippines’ fintech landscape is gaining traction at a rampant pace. Courtesy of the judicious policy makers and the nation’s booming digitalization, fintech adoption in the Philippines is forecasted to reach 72 percent of the population in 2024.
While the $344 million funding raised in 2022 serves as a huge testament to the growing investors’ confidence in the region, the 867 actively used fintech applications shows the sector’s popularity among the masses. The above also correlates to the fact that over 74% Filipinos own smartphones, thereby making a more opportune scenario for the growth of fintech.
With initiatives like National Strategy for Financial Inclusion 2022-2028, Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap 2020 to 2023, Open Finance Framework and others, the Central Bank of the Philippines (BSP) has been spearheading the sector’s growth in the country. Furthermore, to expedite the adoption of digital financial products, the archipelago is now digitalizing key government agencies including the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC).
Paying heed to the situation and giving a direct gateway to the country’s FSI, World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) is coming to Manila, Philippines again on 23 – 24 September 2025. The event will host over 600 technology and business heads from the leading Banks, Insurance & Micro-Finance institutions across the country.
The conference is specifically tailored to bring out detailed discussions and expert insights on the most pressing industry topics.
It features the leading thought leaders who walk the attendees through their experience, share wisdom on the evolving trends and precisely project where the industry is heading.
The exhibition brings together the top organisations to the forefront and facilitates them in powering a cutting-edge showcase of their solutions. The organisations not only get a chance to pitch to the region’s biggest buyers but also get spectacular branding opportunities.
While the pre-qualified delegates get to explore a wide array of solutions, the platform aids the solution providers in leveraging the on-site technology for more impactful demonstrations.
The Awards & Gala program aims to recognize the leading talents who are driving remarkable innovations and excellence in the financial services industry.
Not only do the award winners get applauded by the entire industry but the whole session also gets complemented by a lavish dinner that presents a delectable spread of dishes and cocktails.
This session is specifically created for the attendees to break the ice at the platform and unwind amidst peers, industry leaders, and potential customers.
It makes great room for relaxed conversations and seamless networking in a positive setting alongside great spirit-lifting beverages and savory dishes.
