Banking & Insurance 0
FinTech Alliance PH has welcomed clarification from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) regarding Circular No. 1238, saying the update brings much-needed regulatory certainty to the digital financial services sector and aligns with shared goals of making digital payments affordable, secure, and sustainable. Following productive talks between BSP Monetary Board members and alliance representatives, the central bank confirmed the circular sets out cost-based fair pricing guidelines and does not impose a requirement to scrap all fees. The BSP made clear that financial institutions and payment service providers are not required to remove electronic fund transfer fees entirely, nor are off-network person-to-person transfer charges limited strictly to technical switch costs. It also noted that Frequently Asked Question No. 7 should not be treated as a rigid rule allowing only switch-cost pricing.
