Looking for a neobank or money app in the Philippines? Generic "best of" lists rarely say who holds your deposits or whether the card is issued by a licensed bank. Here you get a short fit check backed by open data — then deep links into profiles, alternatives and comparisons.

8 products have the Philippines in our verified availability field (of 381 tracked). Headquarters and availability are counted separately on the the Philippines country page — we do not treat them as the same fact.

Common questions

What is the best neobank in the Philippines?

There is no single winner — it depends on custody, license, card and whether you need business banking or crypto. This page ranks 381 verified neobanks for the Philippines using the same open dataset as the directory, starting from Maya, Tonik, BFinance, KAST and Xapo Bank.

How many neobanks work in the Philippines?

We have verified country-level availability for 8 of 381 tracked neobanks in the Philippines. Another set may serve the wider Asia region without a confirmed in-country flag — those appear only when region overlap is the best match, and we label them as such.

How are matches scored?

Country fit first, then profile and up to four priorities, custody and app-style sliders, travel/card/crypto intensity, then KYC and license preference. Disclosed user counts break ties only.
