QR Ph dominates digital payments in PH with 55% share in H1 of 2026 — PayMongo

Filipinos are increasingly ditching cards and e-wallets in favor of QR code payments, at least among businesses using PayMongo’s payment services. The company’s internal data shows that QR Ph accounted for more than half (55%) of all payment volume on its platform during the first six months of 2026. That is a massive jump from just 16% during the same period last year. Cards now make up only 19% of payment volume, while e-wallets sit at 21%. Other payment methods like online banking and buy now, pay later services combined account for less than 5%. PayMongo processed close to 10 million transactions between January and June this year. That is nearly double the 5.2 million transactions recorded in the first half of 2025. The company also saw its merchant base grow by 93% over the same timeframe. What is driving this change?

Filipinos are increasingly ditching cards and e-wallets in favor of QR code payments, at least among businesses using PayMongo’s payment services.

The company’s internal data shows that QR Ph accounted for more than half (55%) of all payment volume on its platform during the first six months of 2026. That is a massive jump from just 16% during the same period last year.

Cards now make up only 19% of payment volume, while e-wallets sit at 21%. Other payment methods like online banking and buy now, pay later services combined account for less than 5%.

PayMongo processed close to 10 million transactions between January and June this year. That is nearly double the 5.2 million transactions recorded in the first half of 2025. The company also saw its merchant base grow by 93% over the same timeframe.

PayMongo-Data

What is driving this change? According to PayMongo, people are using QR codes and e-wallets for everyday purchases like food delivery, utility bills, and small retail items. Cards, on the other hand, are mostly reserved for big-ticket purchases and business expenses.

The data backs this up. While QR and e-wallet payments made up 76% of total payment volume, they represented nine out of every ten transactions. Cards accounted for just 7% of transactions despite taking up nearly a fifth of the total value.

For physical stores, the numbers were even more striking. Businesses using PayMongo’s in-store QR Ph product more than doubled from last year, while transactions using that feature grew three times over.

The company said these developments align with the central bank’s goals to expand digital payment usage across the country.

Amazon announces two new Tomb Raider games

Get ready to dust off your climbing axes. Lara Croft, the legendary treasure hunter, is returning to consoles and computers in a big way. Following a long break from solo adventures, two major new games in the Tomb Raider series were revealed at The Game Awards 2025. The last time players controlled Lara in a core series game was 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Now, publisher Amazon Games and longtime developer Crystal Dynamics are bringing her back with a pair of distinct projects. The first is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis , a full remake of the original 1996 game that started it all. It is being built with Unreal Engine 5 by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog. Fans can expect a visual overhaul for Lara’s first journey, which the announcement suggests will still include prehistoric creatures. This remake is planned for launch in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Following that will be Tomb Raider: Catalyst , an entirely new story set for release in 2027....

Sei Crypto Wallet to come pre-installed on Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi and The Sei Development Foundation, a non-profit that promotes the Sei network, have entered a global partnership that aims to promote mainstream blockchain adoption. From 2026, Xiaomi phones available outside mainland China and the United States will come pre-installed with a wallet and crypto discovery app developed by Sei Labs. This would definitely help increase the adoption of the network as Xiaomi is one of the biggest smartphone vendors in the world, just behind Samsung and Apple. Participating phones will be able to conduct peer-to-peer payments, explore Web3 products, and access decentralized applications without the need to download third-party apps. What’s more, Sei plans to implement stablecoin payments in over 20,000 Xiaomi stores, starting in Hong Kong and the European Union.

Disney reportedly considering buying Epic Games

A new rumor suggests Disney is looking to purchase Epic Games , the company behind Fortnite and the Unreal Engine technology. The information comes from tech journalist Alex Heath, who said during a recent podcast appearance that several top executives at Disney are pushing for the deal. He noted that opinions inside the company are mixed, so no final decision has been made. Disney and Epic already know each other well. Fortnite has hosted multiple events featuring Disney characters and stories over the years, including Star Wars and Marvel themes. The two companies also have a financial connection. In early 2025, Disney invested $1.5 billion in Epic, giving it a significant ownership stake. A full buyout would mean much more than just owning Fortnite. Epic’s Unreal Engine is used widely across Hollywood. Disney already relies on it for shows like The Mandalorian. That technology could become even more important to Disney following the recent shutdown of OpenAI’s Sora video servi...
