Oriente Express has come together with other digital finance companies to establish FinTechAlliance.ph. With their combined efforts, these companies aim to drive financial innovation, provide a forum for the discussion of the future of technology and finance, and deliver social impact.
“The alliance was created to enable and strengthen the drive towards working for a financially inclusive Philippines,” says Katrina Cokeng, Oriente Express General Manager, and FinTechAlliance.ph Vice Chair. She adds, “We are working closely with the country’s regulators and leading FinTech companies to make sure we create financial solutions that deliver positive impact to the underbanked Filipinos.”
FinTechAlliance.ph includes various FinTech firms such as Grab Philippines, Smart Communications, Inc., Lendr, Uber Philippines, Cash Credit, Acudeen, Coins.ph, Lenddo, Mynt, PayMaya, PawnHero, Seedbox, and TrueMoney. The association will focus on collaborative and strategic moves to further stimulate innovation towards inclusive growth and empowerment of the emerging Filipino classes.
“The formation of FinTechAlliance.ph is very timely as all industries in the country are undergoing digital transformation. Having a unified representation will make collaboration and communications more efficient,” says Teresita Herbosa, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairperson.
