National Retail Payment System (NRPS) development is important for all Filipinos
What is NRPS? Well, NRPS envisions Filipinos to have easy
access to financial services and have accounts to make payments,
and receive or transfer funds to other accounts anytime, anywhere,
at a reasonable price from any digital device.
Efficient retail payments contribute to the stability and efficiency of
the financial system and the economy as a whole.

Innovation dilemma: future technologies are difficult to predict
We simply only know that it will be different

“The pace of change in terms of what
customers are doing, how they pay us, how
they come to us – it’s breathtaking … Any
company that interacts with consumers and
thinks that last week’s technology and
approach is going to work five years from now
is probably making a mistake”
Warren Buffett, March 2013

A National Retail Payment System (NRPS) in the Philippines must …
• Include large non-banking populations
• Rationalise existing infrastructures for efficiency & scalability
• Support government needs of monitoring payments
• Be flexible and adaptable for future generations
• Support future payment innovation and technology change
• Be highly available, safe, secure
