Philippines — NTT DATA Payment Services has launched ADAPTIS, its suite of integrated payment solutions, in the Philippines at a high-profile event in Manila following earlier rollouts in Malaysia and Thailand.
The release in the Philippines marks a major milestone for the company in delivering inclusive, scalable, and locally relevant payment solutions across Southeast Asia.
ADAPTIS integrates five core services under one platform that include: ‘In-Store’ which supports retail transactions, ‘E-Commerce’ for secure online payments, ‘Financing’ designed to assist business growth, ‘Enterprise’ to provide scalable payment infrastructure, and ‘Value-Added Services’ aimed at optimising business operations.
Shinichiro Nishikawa, head of global payments and services division at NTT DATA Japan explained how the Philippines is one of the most dynamic and fast-growing digital economies in Southeast Asia.
“With ADAPTIS, we’re combining local insights with global standards and innovation that NTT DATA is known for. This isn’t just a rebrand, it’s a reimagining of how payments can better serve banks, merchants, partners, and consumers across the country,” Shinichiro said.
The launch event held in Makati gathered representatives from NTT DATA Japan, NTT DATA Payment Services, local regulators and industry partners.
“ADAPTIS integrates our in-store, online, enterprise, and financing solutions into one powerful ecosystem, designed to grow with businesses, from sari-sari stores to large enterprises,” Sean Hesh, group chief executive officer of NTT DATA Payment Services.
“In a digital economy like the Philippines, adaptability isn’t optional. It’s essential.”
The launch of ADAPTIS in the Philippines marks a step forward in making payments more accessible, more secure, more intuitive for all Filipinos, commented Jay Tirona, CEO of NTT DATA Payment Services Philippines.
“Whether you’re a small business in a wet market or a fast-growing online brand, our solutions are built to grow with you. Every Filipino deserves progress, and we’re proud to be part of that journey,” Jay said.
The introduction of ADAPTIS is part of NTT DATA Payment Services’ regional transformation, following the 2024 acquisition of GHL Systems Berhad by NTT DATA Japan and the company’s rebrand to NTT DATA Payment Services later that year.
