The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) just dropped the news that they’re extending the break for new digital money. If you were thinking of joining the electronic money party, you might need to wait until December 15, 2024.

Why the extension? Well, the BSP wants to make sure they’re using their resources wisely, promoting financial stability, and encouraging cool electronic money solutions.
Who’s already in the game? Names like GCash, Alipay Philippines, and Maya Philippines Inc. might ring a bell.
