The Philippines has rapidly emerged as the world’s leading contact outsourcing destination, providing fintech companies with advanced technology and multilingual support they need to operate and expand globally. As China continues to experience rapid fintech adoption, innovation, and disruption, companies are increasingly turning to the Philippines for its cutting-edge technological capabilities and diverse talent pool, making it an attractive outsourcing destination that can help propel Chinese firms to new heights on the international stage.
One of the key reasons behind the Philippines’ appeal as a fintech outsourcing destination is its adoption of advanced technologies that drive efficiency and enhanced customer experiences. According to Ralf Ellspermann, CEO of PITON-Global and a renowned expert on CX outsourcing for the finserv and fintech industries,
“Leading contact centers in the country have integrated artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotic process automation (RPA), natural language processing (NLP), cloud computing, and blockchain into their service offerings. These technologies offer a host of advantages and benefits that make the Philippines an attractive destination for fintech players seeking to expand globally.”
AI and ML enable outsourcing providers to automate repetitive tasks, analyze vast amounts of data, and generate actionable insights that help fintech companies optimize their operations and improve decision-making. These technologies also allow for more personalized customer experiences, as they can analyze user behavior and preferences to deliver customized solutions and support. By leveraging AI and ML, Philippine outsourcing providers can help Chinese fintech companies enhance their service offerings and stay ahead of the competition.
RPA and NLP are instrumental in streamlining processes and improving communication with customers. RPA automates routine tasks, reducing errors and increasing efficiency, while NLP allows outsourcing providers to process and analyze human language more effectively.
“This facilitates better understanding and engagement with customers, enabling companies to deliver faster and more accurate support, even in multiple languages. As a result, companies can cater to their global clientele with ease and efficiency,”
explains Ellspermann.
Cloud computing and blockchain are reshaping the way fintech companies store and secure data. Cloud computing offers scalability, cost savings, and improved accessibility, allowing fintech firms to store and process data more efficiently.
“Blockchain technology, on the other hand, provides a secure, transparent, and decentralized solution for data storage and transactions, ensuring data integrity and minimizing the risk of fraud. By leveraging these technologies, Philippine BPO providers help Chinese fintech players enhance their data management capabilities and comply with international security standards,”
says Ellspermann.
Another significant factor contributing to the Philippines’ attractiveness as an outsourcing destination is its multilingual support. As financial technology companies expand their global footprint, the need for diverse language capabilities becomes crucial. The Philippines offers a workforce fluent in English and familiar with multiple languages, enabling them to cater to the diverse linguistic needs of Chinese fintech firms’ global and ever-growing customer base.
“The state of fintech adoption and innovation in China has been rapidly accelerating, with companies such as Alipay and WeChat Pay making significant strides in reshaping the financial landscape. By partnering with outsourcing providers in the Philippines, these companies can leverage the country’s advanced technologies and multilingual support to enhance their offerings, streamline operations, and deliver exceptional customer experiences on a global scale,”
asserts Ellspermann.
