BSP Sets PHP 500,000 Daily Limit on Philippine Bank Cash Withdrawals
Und heute gab es die schriftliche Bestätigung der Bank:
Important notice when withdrawing PHP 500,000 and above
Dear Dino,
To better protect your finances, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has mandated a new measure (Circular No. 1218) to strengthen anti-money laundering efforts. This policy introduces the following limits and requirements:
- Single or multiple withdrawals for depositors are now capped at PHP 500,000* per banking day
- Withdrawals above PHP 500,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) must be processed only through traceable channels such as check payments, fund transfers, and digital platforms
- Depositors who will withdraw more than PHP 500,000 will be requested to present identification documents or proof of a legitimate business purpose
- Metrobank may also request for additional supporting documents, should it deem relevant, to further review the bank account and the legitimacy of transaction
*Banks may lower the withdrawable amount per day based on its risk measures and assessment of the client.
