The fee for sending online depends on your bank. It ranges from 5 pesos to 40 pesos.

Note: Because of the covid-19 crisis, many banks have been offering Instapay transfers for FREE until further notice.

There’s NO FEE for receiving money. Only the sending account is charged.

You can send up to 50,000 pesos per transaction. Ask your bank if there’s a minimum amount to send and if there’s a maximum for the total amount you’re able to send within a day.
