MANILA: The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) wants financial institutions to establish a “market-based” and “fair” pricing mechanism for fees they collect on electronic fund transfers, in a bid to lower, if not eliminate, transaction costs for Filipinos.
The central bank is soliciting comments from stakeholders on a draft circular that would guide financial firms in adopting a pricing mechanism for fees on fund transfers, regardless of the size of the transaction.
