The 2021 FIS results show that: In 2021, 37.0 percent of adults started saving more for emergencies and 17.0 percent either started or used online banking and digital payments more frequently. We also saw account ownership, a basic indicator of financial inclusion, almost double.
This means that 22 million Filipinos opened a new financial account within the last two years-the highest recorded growth to date of account ownership in the Philippines. E-money account ownership and usage are on the rise. More Filipinos are now investing as well.
