Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) will permanently remove fees for interbank fund transfers made through its digital channels starting July 1, 2026. BPI says customers using its mobile app, online banking platform, and its digital platforms VYBE, BanKo, and BizKo will no longer be charged fees when sending money to other banks and e-wallets via InstaPay and PESONet. The move applies to transactions processed through BPI’s digital services and is intended to support financial inclusion and encourage wider use of digital banking. Prior to the change, BPI charged P10 per InstaPay transaction and P50 for PESONet transfers made through its mobile and online banking channels. Separate coverage notes that BPI’s announcement also raises questions about whether other banks will adopt similar fee waivers. BPI’s decision takes effect on July 1, 2026, with the bank describing the removal of charges as permanent.
