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. With the new pricing structure, all InstaPay transfers—regardless of amount—will now carry the ₱8 service fee, simplifying costs for users. 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.
