ZIGRAM joins Philippines fintech alliance to push fraud prevention

ZIGRAM has joined FinTech Alliance.PH as the Philippines works to keep improving AML/CFT compliance after leaving the FATF Grey List in 2025. The move is meant to deepen collaboration on fraud prevention, compliance, and trust in digital finance across Southeast Asia.

Why it matters: - The Philippines is still strengthening anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing controls after exiting the Financial Action Task Force Grey List in February 2025. - As digital finance grows, financial institutions and technology providers face rising pressure to detect fraud and financial crime faster. - ZIGRAM’s membership adds RegTech capacity to an industry group that represents most of the country’s retail digital financial transaction volume.

Between the lines: - The membership signals a broader push to pair compliance policy with technology as the Philippines tries to preserve the gains made after its FATF removal. - For ZIGRAM, the alliance offers a route into a concentrated fintech ecosystem with direct influence on digital finance standards and practices. - For the alliance, adding a RegTech specialist fits its focus on responsible innovation, cybersecurity and consumer protection.
