Banks further waive PESONet, InstaPay fees

Some of the country’s banks further waived their fees for PESONet and InstaPay transactions to give their customers relief from the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

One of them, the Philippine National Bank, announced in a statement of Tuesday that it would waive them until March 31.

PNB President and Chief Executive Officer Wick Veloso said the extension aimed to encourage more customers to use digital banking channels.

“We see [that] digital banking is gaining ground as customers learn more about the benefits of these services,” he added.

China Banking Corp. also extended its waiver until end-March, saying it “continues to make banking easier and lighter in these challenging times.”

The Philippine Savings Bank likewise did the same for fees for PaSend, and InstaPay and PESONet interbank fund transfers made through its mobile app and online facilities until further notice.

The extension, the consumer banking arm of the Metrobank Group said, aims to “further encourage the bank’s customers to…send money to other banks for free, maximize the use of its reliable online banking facility, and utilize the powerful functionalities of its mobile application…”

PESONet is designed for high-value transactions of companies, businesses, government agencies, and individuals. It is the electronic alternative to transferring funds through checks. It has 67 BSP-supervised financial institutions as participants.

These transactions have reached P292.5 billion since its launch in November 2017. Volume-wise, transactions grew to 4.84 million transfers from 392,906 in November 2017.

InstaPay enables an account holder to transfer up to P50,000 a day, which is quickly credited to the receiving account in any participating financial institution. InstaPay is designed for urgent and small-value transactions.

Forty-one financial institutions now offer InstaPay, compared to the initial 16. InstaPay transactions rose to P144.4 billion from the P19.1 million when the platform was launched in April 2018. Volume-wise, these transactions surged to 26.29 million from 1,740 in April 2018.

NHL exec Colin Campbell explains league’s schedule goals in Canada

NHL senior executive vice president Colin Campbell says the league would like to try to preserve as many full-capacity home games as possible for Canadian fans, but acknowledges other factors are at play in redoing the schedule during the current COVID-19 surge. “You’d like to give the fans the opportunity to go to as many games as they can. They’ve already been shortchanged in the last year and a half … shortchanged completely watching hockey here in Canada,” Campbell said in an interview on the Real Kyper and Bourne show on Sportsnet 590 The Fan on Friday. “It’s a rite of passage to watch the world juniors this time of year for all young kids. I remember growing up watching it. Now, it’s cancelled. We’re trying to save as much as we can and delay it.” The NHL postponed nine more games on Friday because of arena capacity issues in Canada — with teams being allowed anywhere from zero fans (Montreal Canadiens) to 50 per cent capacity (Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Can...

Why some NHL games are being played, but not others

With the Omicron variant tearing through the sports world, the NHL has had to adapt by postponing some games while playing others in front of, in some cases, a maximum of 1,000 fans in Canada. So why are some games being played in Canada and others are not? As with everything these days, it’s complicated. TV rights holders, including Sportsnet in Canada, are partially driving those decisions. But not entirely. The Toronto Maple Leafs , for example, had to have their Jan. 3 game with Carolina postponed, but intended on holding their Jan. 1 game vs. the Senators and their Jan. 5 game against the Oilers, partially to placate Sportsnet. But, according to reporting by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, when the province of Ontario announced new restrictions for public gatherings that limited crowds to 1,000 fans or less, the league offered the Leafs the option of postponing the two upcoming games. The Leafs wanted to go through with the games, Friedman said, because they hadn’t played a ...
