Feature News: BSP Wants Quick Refunds for Failed InstaPay, PESONet Transfers

The announcement: The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has introduced new rules to help customers resolve issues with electronic fund transfers (EFTs).

How it will work:

• Banks must inform customers about the status of their fund transfers.
• If a transfer fails, funds must be returned within one hour for InstaPay and within two hours for PESONet.

Why is this important? Currently, under the “usual” circumstances, it takes 3 to 5 days before the funds are returned. This can cause problems such as when you really need to pay utilities like rent on due dates.

These rules are designed to build trust in digital payments by making sure problems are fixed quickly and clearly.

However: Banks and other participants have until January 1, 2025, to follow these new rules.

Zoom out: There are 86 InstaPay participants and 112 PESONet participants, including local virtual asset service providers (VASPS) like Coins.ph, Maya, and PDAX.

• In a Senate hearing, then-Finance Chief Benjamin Diokno highlighted the need to maintain and improve both InstaPay and PESONet instead of creating a Central Bank Digital Currency.
