Banks and non-banks have been ordered to keep current charges until 40 percent of all retail payments have migrated into digital or e-payments. READ:

The central bank issued a moratorium on increases in fee rates of financial institutions running the real time, interbank money transfer services, InstaPay and PESONet.

Based on the BSP’s summary of corresponding fees submitted by BSP supervised financial institutions , as of end-November, InstaPay fees go from P5 to a high of P30 per transaction, while some offer free of service. BSP Governor Benjamin E. Diokno, who signed the order on Dec. 28, said in the memo that the moratorium “is expected to not only help the economy but also sustain the momentum in the use of digital payments.”

For BSFIs which have yet to offer lnstaPay and PESONet, the BSP said the initial fees will have to be reported at least 60 days from the day that they plan to impose the fees.
