PHILIPPINES – Financial security is the top aspiration of Filipinos today. To meet living expenses comfortably, prepare for emergencies, and save up for the future are dreams that many work hard to achieve. While the dreams are the same, everyone has different starting points, paths, and opportunities in life. In terms of access to financial services, for example, 76% of Filipinos remain unbanked and underserved by traditional institutions in 2024.
