Lito  Villanueva,  Founding  Chairman of FinTech Alliance PH, emphasized the importance of industry solidarity in addressing evolving digital threats: 
“Fraud  does  not  recognize  institutional  boundaries,  and  neither  should  our  response. 

The launch of the Fraud Intelligence Data Sharing Network reflects our shared commitment to come together as one ecosystem to protect the integrity of our digital economy. By strengthening collaboration  and  institutionalizing  intelligence  exchange,  we  are  reinforcing  trust  as  the foundation of innovation. 

This is about standing united to secure the future of digital finance in the country.” 
Another highlight of the event will be the signing of multiple Memoranda of Understanding with key industry bodies, including ASEAN Business Advisory Council, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), and the oath taking of the new set of corporate members. 

These  partnerships  highlight  Fintech  Alliance.PH’s  continued  effort  to  foster  cross-sector collaboration in advancing financial inclusion, digital trust, and sustainable fintech innovation. 

In  addition  to  major  partnership  milestones,  the  program  will  culminate  in  the  oath-taking ceremony of new member organizations, formally welcoming them into the country’s premier fintech association.
