Robocash Group said the approval process takes five minutes, while the funds are credited to the customers’ e-wallet within 24 hours.

“We see a big potential in the new product, as there is a high demand for alternative financial services among Filipinos,” said Sergey Sedov, chief executive officer of Robocash Group.

“More than 50 million people remain unbanked, but many of them need additional funds.

“For example, our recent survey showed that over 50 per cent of Filipinos borrowed money from family or friends in 2020. At the same time, the Philippines has a significant share of smartphone (64 per cent) and internet (70 per cent) users.

“It means that most of the population has an opportunity to access financial services online to meet their immediate spending needs.”
