Manila, Philippines - Fexco EasyDebit, one of the Philippines
most innovative fintech solutions is today marking a significant period of
growth having processed over 1billion pesos in transactions since its launch in
2017. The growth is further reflected in increases of cash withdrawal amounts
(up 466% in 2018 v 2017) and transaction volume (up 375% in 2018 v 2017).
EasyDebit is a unique service that
uses a mobile Point of Sale (or mPOS Pin Entry Device) and a mobile phone
allowing customers in the Philippines to withdraw cash using their ATM card at
any number of local accredited merchants including; payment and remittance
centres, retailers, rural banks and cooperatives instead of having to travel to
an ATM.
EasyDebit
is a ‘plug and play’ solution requiring minimal installation for merchants who
simply download the EasyDebit Mobile App. The solution has the capacity to
reach over 100million people, many of whom are disconnected from the limited
ATM infrastructure in the Philippines. Through merchant uptake and
participation EasyDebit promotes financial inclusion by providing more secure
access to cash withdrawal for the millions of unbanked Filipinos. Uptake of
EasyDebit increased by 100% in 2018 (v2017) and the solution is now live with
over 700 merchants across the country.
Speaking about the growth
seen by EasyDebit this year, Ann Chan Foley, CEO at Fexco Philippines, Inc.
commented, “2018 represents a significant year for the business. We have seen
hugely positive growth trends across the county in terms of transaction volume,
value and merchant growth demonstrating the robustness of the solution. We are
excited to continue this growth in 2019 as we further expand the EasyDebit
network helping to reach more unbanked and underserved Filipinos.”
