Digital transactions in the Philippines have surged, with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reporting an increase from 42.1% in 2022 to 52.8% in 2023.

This growth surpasses the BSP’s goal of achieving 50% digital payment volume as part of its Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap.

The rise in mobile apps and online banking has made cashless payments increasingly popular, leading to a decline in cash usage from 96% to 87%.

However, the shift to digital banking introduces security challenges, including risks of identity theft and phishing scams.

To enhance security, banks are adopting measures like two-factor authentication and biometric verification.

Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) is strengthening user control, allowing clients to lock account access on unfamiliar platforms.

The upgraded PSBank Mobile app offers a user-friendly interface, enabling easy account management and access to services.

PSBank aims to promote financial inclusion by simplifying account opening, requiring only a valid ID and selfie for new users.
