Global mobile payment providers Google Pay and Apple Pay are entering the Philippine market, with nine banking and fintech players already offering Google Pay as a mode of payment, while Apple Pay is eyed for launch in 2026.

- By DERCO ROSAL

Fintech Alliance PH founding chairman Lito Villanueva told reporters during the launch of Google Pay that the financial system could be ready for Apple Pay's launch next year, but noted that there is still no exact date.

"Hopefully next year, but we don't have any available date yet. The good thing is that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) gave the green light for both entities to operate in the Philippines," Villanueva said on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

He explained that Google Pay was the first to launch in the Philippines since 80 percent of Filipinos use Android devices.
