The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has partially suspended inbound InstaPay and PESONet transfers to DCPay Philippines, the e-money operator behind Coins.ph. BitPinas reported the restriction, citing a PPMI advisory. It affects incoming bank transfers and certain QR payments, while outbound transfers remain available.
Why it matters
Coins.ph is a major homegrown crypto platform in the Philippines. The order targets a way customers fund its e-wallet, not every payment function or the platform’s separately licensed crypto trading entity, Betur Inc.
Market impact
Customers using the affected bank-transfer routes face a narrower path for depositing funds. The distinction between DCPay and Betur Inc. matters: the restriction applies to the e-money operator, while the crypto trading entity is not directly covered.
