NTT DATA Payment Services has officially launched ADAPTIS, a suite of integrated payment solutions, in the Philippines.

The launch in the Philippines follows successful rollouts in Malaysia and Thailand, just as Japan-based NTT DATA Group continues to expand and deliver inclusive, scalable, and locally relevant payment innovations across Southeast Asia.

NTT DATA Group CEO Sean Hesh mentioned that the Philippine economy’s growth and further potential factored in the company introducing ADAPTIS to the market.

The ADAPTIS suite of integrated payment solutions includes five core B2B offerings for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs):

  • ADAPTIS In-Store (for seamless retail transactions)
  • ADAPTIS e-Commerce (for secure online payments)
  • ADAPTIS Financing (to support business growth)
  • ADAPTIS Enterprise (for scalable payment infrastructure)
  • ADAPTIS Value-Added Services (to optimize business operations)

One of the popular offerings is simply providing businesses with Point of Sale (POS) terminals.

These terminals support Visa, Mastercard, JCB, and BancNet cards, as well as QRPh, GCash, GrabPay, ShopeePay, Alipay, and Alipay+ payments.

For businesses that are online in nature, ADAPTIS e-Commerce provides a platform to ensure online transactions are secure.

Apple Pay, Google Pay support

Moreover, ADAPTIS POS terminals support Apple Pay and Google Pay. So long as these terminals have tap-to-pay capability and customers’ smartphones have NFC, transactions done via the aforementioned digital wallets can push through.

Of course, in the Philippines, being able to use Apple Pay and Google Pay will ultimately just depend on which banks, cards, or e-wallets can be linked to these digital wallets.

Solutions for businesses’ loyalty programs

Beyond these common offerings, the ADAPTIS suite also supports businesses through other services, like loyalty programs.

One client that has already been using ADAPTIS is Krispy Kreme, through their OG Card loyalty program.

NTT DATA Payment Services said when it comes to setups like this, the company provides hardware that can be rented or bought by their clients.

Meanwhile, the technology inside the physical terminals where customers scan their loyalty cards, as in the case of Krispy Kreme, is also provided by NTT DATA through their in-house team of developers.

These scalable solutions can benefit businesses of various kinds, from restaurants to clothing to services and more.

In fact, the company said a petroleum chain within Southeast Asia has also tapped this ADAPTIS service for its own loyalty program.

Providing businesses with a partner

NTT DATA Group further mentioned that adaptability and versatility are some of their key selling points.

For instance, they can provide a product selection for businesses that do not need physical POS terminals but rather just solutions for mobile phones.

The company also takes pride in being committed to providing training and upskilling for clients to ensure those who avail their services will actually advance electronification.

NTT DATA Philippines CEO Jay Tirona pointed out that switching to a digital or cashless system also unlocks a client’s digital footprint and may improve their credit score and standing in the future, opening the possibility for further support.

The Philippines launch marks another step forward in NTT DATA Payment Services’ regional transformation journey.

In 2024, NTT DATA Japan acquired GHL Systems Berhad and rebranded to NTT DATA Payment Services, consolidating its position as a leading digital payments provider across Asia.
