Because of the pandemic and the continued implementation of general community quarantine, the BSP has noted the increase in transactions being facilitated online. According to PhilStar, e-money transactions processed by fintech companies has more than tripled, reaching Php 974 billion from January to September 2020, which is 235% higher than what was recorded in the same period in the prior year. 

Within the same period, the total transactions of virtual currencies in the Philippines have also increased five fold. Licensed virtual asset service providers have processed around $1.5 billion (Php 76 billion) between January to September 2020, which is five times more than what was recorded within the same time frame in 2019 ($288 million or Php 14 billion). According to BSP’s Melchor Plabasan, the growth in volume can be attributed to the increase in the price of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, with crypto increasingly becoming a store of value that has attracted users in developing countries like the Philippines.

Moneybees has prepared for this upcoming surge of interest in crypto through the opening of new outlets in partnership with Tivoli. “The physical outlets and our partnership with well-trusted moneychanger companies give our customers the confidence to transact with relatively big volumes with us,” Moneybees CEO Paulo del Puerto said in an email to BitPinas.

Paulo also said despite the shift to online transactions, a growing number of Moneybees customers still prefer to transact in an outlet. “We’ve seen quite a good uptick in number of transactions and transaction volumes when we opened our outlets through Tivoli branches.”

According to Clarissa Eirene S. Tinitigan, President of Tivoli Money Exchange, the company aims to be at the forefront of modern trading.

“We are experiencing the gamification of trading and with more people becoming interested in this exercise, it is a good time for Tivoli Money Exchange to support and promote the value of investing wisely. We aim to be at the forefront of modern trading by making unconventional currencies like cryptocurrency, more accessible through our network of retail outlets.” – Clarissa Eirene S. Tinitigan, President of Tivoli Money Exchange

Moneybees expect the demand for its services to continue to increase. It plans to roll out more outlet partners and expand to Visaya and even Mindanao. “We target to open 100 outlets by the end of the year,” Paulo said.
