MNL168 PESONet — Limits, Fees & Settlement

Below covers PESONet purely as a payment method — who operates it, its licensing, and what it publishes on limits and fees.

PESONet at a glance

Field	Value
Operated by	With Philippine Payments Management, Inc. behind the designation, the Philippine Clearing House Corporation serves as clearing switch operator
Regulated by	Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
Wallet limit	Not applicable to this rail
Per-transaction cap	Not published
Settlement	timing hinges on the clearing house cut-off: beat it and settlement is same-day, miss it and settlement waits until the next banking day. It has no weekend runs and clears across several batch cycles per day rather than in real time
Published fees	BSP’s mandate leaves the beneficiary never charged for electronic crediting. A fee charged by the sending institution is possible, and no figure spanning the whole rail is published.

2026-09 marks the snapshot behind the figures shown here. A payment provider may update its fees and limits at will, with no heads-up given, so its own page is where the accurate numbers are found.

Verification tiers

PESONet’s verification tiers aren’t listed here, since nothing published on that front could be tracked down. Even so, regulated Philippine e-money accounts standardly require identity verification, and it’s usually an unverified account that explains a lower-than-expected limit.

How fast money actually moves

PESONet settles timing hinges on the clearing house cut-off: beat it and settlement is same-day, miss it and settlement waits until the next banking day. It has no weekend runs and clears across several batch cycles per day rather than in real time. That’s a description of the rail, not the casino — an operator may hold a withdrawal for its own review long before it reaches PESONet, and that internal review is usually what accounts for the delay.

BSP’s comparison table gives PESONet a ‘no limit’ entry, since the scheme applies no cap per transaction. Individual participating institutions each set their own cap, meaning the rail isn’t behind a rejected transfer — the bank’s rule is. This is the answer the field gives, not a blank spot.

What PESONet says about gambling transactions

On gambling merchants, this page turned up nothing citable that PESONet has made public. Permission is a different matter entirely: e-money issuers regularly enforce merchant-category rules they never publish, so a transfer can be refused with no published rule to point to.
