remittances which are represented by the OFW remittance inflow, the internal
migrant’s transfers. During 2012-2017, the international and domestic
remittance markets have showcased a remarkable growth. The Overseas Filipino
Workers (OFWs) space has been the most important source of growth in the
Philippines economy. The majority of the OFWs primarily originate from the
Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon (CALABARZON) region, and the
peripheral regions of Central Luzon and Metro Manila. Market growth can be

and developmental activities, rising business sectors and increasing job

Domestic
Remittance and Bill Payments Market
The market for domestic money transfers in the Philippines is
exceedingly dynamic and has been maturing since the past decade. Domestic money
transfers encompass both remote money remittances and payment of bills. The
choice of the service provider, to a greater degree, has been dependent upon
the amount of money being transferred. Bank transfers and major PSPs were
mostly used in order to transfer large amounts of money.
In-country Filipinos, characterized by
domestic migrants who have moved for better economic and employment
opportunities and permanent residents together, accounted for major share of
the total domestic remittances. Additionally, majority of the overall domestic
remittances was funded by people/families who have also received international
remittances from Filipinos in other countries. Domestic remittances were
observed to be transferred in top cities amongst the provinces included Quezon
City, Manila, Makati, Caloocan, Paranaque, Pasig, Mandaluyong, Taguig, Pasay
and Baguio.
Utilities comprised of majority of the
total number of bill payments in the Philippines in 2017. The utility bill
payments were followed by payments for education which was followed by payment
insurance premium.
Convenience stores such as 7-Eleven
and Ministop are the major third party payment channels of the total bill
payments in the Philippines in 2017. Owing to the greater reach and
accessibility; convenience stores have dominated the bill payment landscape in
the Philippines over the past many years. Bill payments through mobile and
online platforms have displayed a tremendous growth over the past five years with
growing mobile wallet and number of online methods offered by banks and other
local players. The use of payment centers such as Bayad, along with banks, was
mostly prevalent in the urban areas. Conversely, informal service providers
were largely used in semi-urban and rural areas.
Competitive Landscape
Domestic remittance market is
dominated by pawnshops and MTO due to the large unbanked or under-banked
population in the Philippines. The enormous potential of domestic remittances
has also engrossed international players such as Western Union into the market.
Conversely, the Philippines-based service providers such as banks, regional and
national pawnshops including Cebuana and M Lhuillier and Palawan Pawnshops, LBC
Express and others have a noteworthy presence in the domestic market and have
provided stiff competition to the international players. Banco de Oro was the
largest bank in the Philippines international remittance market in 2017
followed by The Bank of Philippine Islands while Metropolitan Bank was the
third largest international remittance player in 2017.
Future Potential
The Philippines remittance and bill payments market has
witnessed a considerable growth in past five years. A noticeable amount of FDI
inflows was invested in BPO, electronics and energy sector. With the continual
growth in FDI flows in the BPO sector, there are expected to be more employment
opportunities leading to large scale migrations to urban cities. Rapid growth
in the introduction and use mobile technologies in the country for money
transfer and bill payments are also a factor for future growth of domestic
remittance and bill payments market of the Philippines.
The continued growth in internal migration is expected to
sustain the growth of money transfers taking place in the Philippines. The
Philippines has outshined India in terms of voice-based outsourced projects and
has become the worldwide leader in the call center industry. Over the past six
years, the BPO industry in the country has augmented at an average rate of 25%-30%.
International remittance market in the Philippines will continue to be driven
by the increasing deployment of Filipinos in other countries. Unskilled workers
and laborers will uphold their status as the largest deployed fraction of
overseas workers and will continue to account for the largest share of
aggregate remittances.
