#Metrobank app

Metrobank has announced a significant reduction in its InstaPay transfer fees, introducing a new flat rate of ₱8 per transaction beginning February 1, 2026. Previously, Metrobank charged ₱25 per InstaPay transfer, although the bank had waived fees for transactions worth ₱1,000 and below over the past year. The updated fee applies exclusively to transactions made through the new Metrobank App, prompting the bank to advise customers to update their app to the latest version to ensure the revised charges are reflected properly. The move positions Metrobank among local banks offering more affordable digital transfer options, as competition continues to intensify in the Philippine digital banking space. It is designed to make QR-based payments more stable and easier to use, especially in busy market areas where connection issues often happen. Apple has loosened its grip on retro console emulators within the App Store. The updated App Store guidelines now permit these long-banned emulators, allowing those already availeble to Android to make their way onto iPhones. The games themselves must comply with "all applicable laws," implying that apps offering pirated titles would be essentially banned from the marketplace.
