Under the Philippine Government’s National Retail Payment System initiative, PesoNet was formed:

How to Use Peso Net Bank Transfer via PSBank

PesoNet bank transfer is available in PSBank!

Let me show you how to use PesoNet Bank Transfer through your PSBank account.

1. Login to the PSBank Online website.

Type in the following URL: psbank.com.ph

2. Select Fund Transfer from the menu options.

Click on the Fund Transfer option.

3. Choose your Source Account.

If you have multiple PSBank account, it will be shown here.

Since we only have one account, that peso savings account is the only one shown here.

For this tutorial, we will select To Unenrolled Other Bank Account.

5. Complete the needed information.

Additional fields will show up.

Enter all the required fields.

Make sure to double check the target account number.

The mobile number here is only optional but for this example, we will use this feature so that the recipient will receive an SMS regarding the transfer.

6. Enter the amount that you want to transfer.

On the text box, input the amount that you will be transferring.

7. Select Within one banking day for the schedule of transfer.

You will be shown several options for the schedule of transfer.

Sine this guide is focused on PesoNet, we will choose the Within one banking day option.

Take note that PesoNet has a 50 pesos transaction fee for PSBank and with a daily transfer limit of 200,000 pesos.

8. Click on the OK button on the OTP prompt that is shown.

Actually this is our first transaction for the day so I’m not sure why it is saying that we have exceeded the transaction limit.

I think they have enabled OTP as default regardless of the number of transaction that you already made possibly for additional security.

9. Enter your Password and the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

In this window, you will have the option to review the details of the transfer transaction that you will be making.

You can click on the back button if you have any modification that needs to be done.

Since PesoNet is not a real-time transaction, transfer requests submitted before 2:30pm will be submitted to the recipient bank within the day.

If you submit it after 2:30pm, the fund transfer request will be submitted on the next banking day.

The actual crediting of the transaction amount will depend on the processing time of the target bank.

Then click on the Submit Request button.

10. You will see a Fund Transfer Acknowledgement note on your screen.

If everything went well, you will see a transaction acknowledgement note on your screen with the transaction reference number.

Take note that you will be receiving an SMS or email notification to confirm the status of the transaction upon confirmation of the receiving bank.

11. We received an SMS as transfer confirmation.

In our case, we got the transfer confirmation via SMS the following day.

How about you, were you able to transfer your funds successfully with PesoNet?
