Philippines remittance market is led by the international remittances and domestic 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 attributed to factors like increasing number of OFWs, growing infrastructure and developmental activities, rising business sectors and increasing job opportunities within the country, surging BPO sector and other related factors.
International Remittance Market: The Philippines international remittance market registered a majority contribution from inbound remittances from other countries in 2017. Stable progress in the diversity and coverage of global remittance networks has enabled more OFWs to remit money at a reasonable cost of services which include automated teller machines, web-based services, and reusable/reloadable cash cards.
The US accounted majority of the total remittances sent to the Philippines in 2017. The UAE was ranked as the second largest remittance source for Philippines. Saudi Arabia accounted for a major share of the remittance to Philippines in 2017 and is one of the biggest employers of OFWs.
Domestic Remittance and Bill Payments Market: 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.
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.
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.
