Key Highlights
• The central bank, in November 2014 made it mandatory for banks to shift from the traditional magnetic stripe to more secure Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) chip cards by January 2017. Following the announcement, BancNet signed an agreement with Visa in February 2015 to accelerate the migration to EMV chip cards for all domestic transactions. In addition to cards, the migration process ensures that ATMs and POS terminals are compliant with EMV standards. The increasing adoption of security measures is expected to encourage consumers to carry out more card-based transactions.

• The Filipino government in June 2016 approved a new bill aimed at regulating the credit card market by bringing it under the regulatory control of the central bank. The proposal will be enacted into law once it receives approval from the President. It will empower the central bank to supervise all credit card issuers and acquirers operating in the country. It also mandates credit card issuers to reveal the number of potential and current cardholders and list all fees charged for late payments. Violation of this regulation attracts a fine of US$1,060.2-4,240.9 (PHP50,000-200,000) or imprisonment of two-to-10 years, or both, as determined by the central bank's monetary board.

• Due to growing credit card debt, the central government and Credit Card Association of the Philippines launched an Interbank Debt Relief Program in June 2016. The program was developed to help those in debt by offering affordable repayment plans, lower interest rates and reducing the equal monthly amortization, thereby preventing further deferral of payments. For individuals in deep debt, the repayment period can be extended by up to 10 years, with monthly interest rates at 1.5% or lower. In March 2016, six new credit bureaus were given permission to begin operating in 2017. Of the six, five are foreign companies - Compuscan (South Africa), Dun and Bradstreet (US), Crif (Italy), TransUnion (US) and Credit Bureau Singapore.
