relatives to go to school.
Healthcare Expenses
Support for ageing parents for
maintenance, medications, checkups, &
emergencies.
Insurance/Social Security/Pension

4. Problem: Cross-Border Billing
60% of all real estate properties in the Philippines are owned by overseas workers,
and there is a big problem for overseas owners in paying their mortgage.
Currently there is no way for most expats to pay their mortgage directly from abroad. So
they have to send money to another person through a money-transfer service and hopes he
actually makes the payment every time. This has caused numerous problems between
families.
5. Current Solutions
Indirect Payments
• Transfer money to relatives to pay on your behalf.
• No cross-border platform for bill payments.
• Terms and Conditions forbid people to use them for payments.
Direct Payment
• Allows direct payments by partnering with property developers.
• No presence in the US and other major expat markets.
• Payments made manually by filling out payment forms at physical
offices overseas. No online credit-card or ACH options.
• No invoicing, auto-pay, or recurring billing services.
Post-dated Checks
• Customers leave post-dated checks for when payments are due.
• Checks may bounce if the bank accounts are not funded in time.
• Need to continuously fund the local bank account in the
Philippines
(Post-Dated Checks)

Very effective conversion with online merchants. Online merchants
have dozens of groups in social media platforms.

Systems Risks
SSL Certification and PCI compliance combined with industry
standard system security will minimize the risk that the
application will be damaged from attacks.
Transactional Risks (Fraud)

businesses, minimize transactional fraud to occur.
Regulatory Risks
Partnerships with larger and regulated institutions will most likely
dampen the impact from any changes in the laws.
Market/Competitive Risks

our real estate clients. In addition, having an open dialog with
our clients will help us understand their process and create
value beyond direct collections.

* There are almost 350,000 existing and under construction condominium units in Metro Manila. This market size represent only a
fraction of real estate market in the Philippines. Figures are from Colliers Report for real estate in prime locations in Metro Manila.
Although these figures does not represent total available residential stock in Metro-Manila, it should be sufficient to give us a solid
and conservative outlook. In addition, about 30,000 new units are built and added to the market each year.

Market sizing does not represent the entire real estate market in the Philippines. Rather these figures are from Colliers Report for real estate in prime locations in Metro Manila (Makati Central Business District, Rockwell, Fort Bonifacio, Ortigas, Eastwood). Although these figures represent a fraction of the total available residential stock in Metro-Manila, it should be sufficient to give us a solid and conservative outlook.
