In a bid to optimize digital banking services, the Philippine National Bank (PNB) has announced its decision to introduce fees for interbank fund transfers conducted through its mobile application, effective April 2024. Under the ownership of billionaire Lucio Tan, PNB will impose a nominal fee of P20 for each transaction carried out via the PESONet platform.
This strategic move by PNB reflects a broader industry trend towards enhancing revenue streams while adapting to the digital landscape. Despite the introduction of fees, customers will still be able to transfer up to P100,000 per transaction and P200,000 per day using the PESONet service. Moreover, recipients can expect to receive the transferred funds within the same banking day, ensuring continued efficiency and convenience for users.
The decision to implement fees for interbank transfers underscores PNB’s commitment to remaining competitive in the evolving realm of digital banking services in the Philippines. By aligning with industry trends and optimizing its digital offerings, PNB aims to enhance its position in the market while providing customers with reliable and efficient financial services.
