| Published fees | Under BSP Circular No. 1165 of 2023, the 24 per cent cap set in 2020 on credit card interest and finance charges for revolving balances gave way to a higher limit of 36 per cent a year, equal to 3 per cent a month. No other fee is permitted on top, since the same circular caps cash advance processing at a flat PHP 200 per transaction. These rates, merchant discount and interchange, come from commercial negotiation between the acquirer and the merchant rather than any BSP cap, and this page skips the commonly quoted percentages since they lack a primary source. |

What gambling transactions look like according to Debit and Credit Cards
No source surfaced any Philippine-specific statement from BSP, Visa, or Mastercard addressing gambling transactions. Because gambling merchants fall under the restricted merchant category code 7995 industry-wide, explicit acquirer approval is required, and many issuing banks reportedly turn it down by default. No Philippine networks or regulator have made this statement — it comes from broader payments explainers instead, and its purpose here is limited to explaining a potential decline of a card payment at a gambling merchant, since no published rule exists to cite, not to assert a fact about Philippine cards.
