MatchMove Receives Asian Banking & Finance Fintech Infrastructure Award – Philippines for Expanding Financial Inclusion Through Embedded Finance Infrastructure
SINGAPORE, 18 August, 2026 – MatchMove, one of Asia's leading embedded finance infrastructure providers, has been recognized with the Fintech Infrastructure Award – Philippines at the Asian Banking & Finance Fintech Awards 2026 for expanding financial inclusion through secure, scalable embedded finance infrastructure.
The recognition honors MatchMove's success in enabling banks, fintechs, and digital platforms to embed accounts, cards, and credit directly into everyday digital experiences, making formal financial services more accessible to millions of underserved Filipinos.
During the award presentation, Asian Banking & Finance highlighted MatchMove's contribution to expanding access to credit beyond Metro Manila, recognizing that more than 3 million Filipinos — 70% of them women — are now accessing real-time lending through infrastructure that reduces implementation timelines from 18 months to just weeks.
At the core of this achievement is MatchMove's proprietary managed Just-in-Time (mJIT) funding architecture, which transforms how non-bank lenders fund and issue payment cards. Unlike traditional prepaid wallet models that require significant capital to be locked upfront, mJIT enables lenders to fund transactions only at the moment of spend, allowing partners to deploy capital more efficiently, retain ownership of credit risk, and launch innovative lending programs with greater speed and flexibility.
Through API integration, MatchMove delivers a unified embedded finance platform that enables businesses to launch accounts, card issuing, payments, remittances, compliance, settlement, and security without building and managing multiple systems independently. This significantly reduces complexity, shortens implementation timelines from up to 18 months to as little as 8 to 12 weeks, and enables new programs to be launched in as little as one day.
Today, MatchMove's embedded finance infrastructure has enabled more than 3 million Filipinos to access digital financial services and supports over US$1.5 billion in annual card spend. Working alongside its banking partner, Asia United Bank (AUB), and ecosystem partners including Atome, Salmon, and Luvit, MatchMove continues to help businesses deliver accessible financial products to communities that have historically been underserved by traditional financial institutions.
Nelly Jimron, Senior Vice President, Card & Network Operations at MatchMove, said:
"We are deeply honored to receive the Fintech Infrastructure Award – Philippines from Asian Banking & Finance. This recognition reflects our commitment to making financial services more accessible through trusted partnerships and secure embedded finance infrastructure.
Together with our banking partner, Asia United Bank, and ecosystem partners including Atome, Salmon, and Luvit, we have embedded accounts, cards, and credit into the apps Filipinos use every day, enabling more than 3 million people to access financial services that were previously beyond their reach.
This recognition belongs to our dedicated team and valued partners who share our belief that financial inclusion isn't just an industry objective—it's our mission."
The recognition reinforces MatchMove's commitment to helping enterprises, fintechs, and financial institutions accelerate the delivery of embedded financial services through secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure that combines regulatory expertise, operational resilience, and rapid deployment.
As embedded finance continues to reshape financial services across Asia, MatchMove remains focused on empowering organizations to deliver inclusive financial experiences that create meaningful economic opportunities for businesses and consumers alike.
