Savyint is honored to be a Bronze Sponsor of the World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) 2025 Philippines, the premier fintech event in the ASEAN region, organized by Tradepass. The event will bring together over 600 leaders and experts from the finance, banking, and insurance sectors, representing more than 200 organizations across the region.
The Philippines is at the forefront of the digital financial transformation, with the online lending market projected to reach USD 1.68 billion by 2027 and over 65 million e-wallet users expected by 2025. Additionally, electronic payments account for 52.8% of total retail transactions, reflecting the widespread adoption of digital technologies in financial services. This surge is driven by three key factors: supportive government policies, the rapid rise of fintech, and the growing demand for a comprehensive financial ecosystem. Initiatives led by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), such as the Open Finance pilot program and Project Nexus for enhanced cross-border payments, underscore the country’s commitment to fostering financial inclusion and sustainable development.
Against this backdrop, WFIS 2025 Philippines, hosted by Tradepass, serves as a pivotal platform, uniting over 600 industry leaders and experts from 200 organizations. Under the theme “Bridging Financial Gaps for a Digitally Smart Philippines,” WFIS 2025 is more than an event—it is a hub for strategic collaboration and discussions on critical topics such as Open Finance, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), and the application of AI and blockchain in financial services. With over 300 active fintech companies and online payments comprising 52.8% of retail transactions, WFIS 2025 is the ideal stage to shape the future of fintech in the Philippines and drive financial innovation.
Over the course of two days, WFIS 2025 Philippines will feature a robust lineup of activities, including:
- WFIS Forum: In-depth discussions on trending topics such as Open Finance, CBDC, AI and blockchain in financial services, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance.
- WFIS Technology Exhibition: Showcasing solutions from global technology leaders, offering banks and fintechs the opportunity to experience cutting-edge innovations firsthand.
