Philippines Buy Now Pay Later Market Trends:

Rising Digital Penetration and E-commerce Industry

The increase in the adoption of digital technologies and the growth of online shopping has contributed to the growth of the BNPL market in the Philippines. As more Filipinos acquire smartphones and internet connection, more and more people are turning to online shopping. In December 2022, Tonik Financial, the parent company of digital bank Tonik, announced that it has inked an agreement to acquire the Philippines’ business of fintech firm Tendo Payment Solutions. Through this acquisition, Tonik is looking to augment its core lending portfolio while integrating payroll-enabled financial services into its operations. This shift towards digital commerce has provided an opportune moment for BNPL services, as it provides a useful and flexible payment solution for consumers. Moreover, the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic has boosted the use of e-commerce platforms, and therefore the use of BNPL solutions. This enables consumers to buy products instantly and pay in instalments, thus increasing their buying power and fuelling market growth.

Favourable Demographic Factors and Financial Literacy Initiatives

The factors that have contributed to the growth of the BNPL market in the Philippines include the demographics, especially the population’s youth and technology adoption, as well as the push for financial inclusion. Another demographic factor which has been underpinning the growth of Akulaku in Philippines is the rising ownership of smartphones and access to Internet in the country, as captured by its report for the year to April 2023, where the firm noted an expansion of user base and increase in transaction values. Akulaku’s marketing strategies and its presence on e-commerce platforms have been well-received by the target audience of the young generation of consumers who prefer to shop online for its convenience and versatility. Many people are unbanked or have limited access to conventional forms of credit, which makes BNPL very appealing. Fintech innovations and government efforts to enhance financial inclusion have also helped enhance the market. BNPL services help such individuals who may not be eligible for traditional credit to engage in the digital economy. This trend is predicted to continue as more consumers look for more convenient and easily available financing alternatives, thus driving the growth of the BNPL market.
