Filipinos embrace cell phones as electronic wallets worldwide
In the Philippines, over 5.5 million mobile users rely on text based wallet services. Dennis Tiangco easily withdraws 2,500 pesos from GM Bank via SMS with a 1 percent fee, without a bank account. Overseas remittances fund a growing network with Globe and Smart linking banks and merchants. Anna Tiangco in Hong Kong sends money instantly to family, paying bills and buying goods through mobile wallets. The system, cheaper and faster than wires, expands financial access for the unbanked and overseas workers.
