What InstaPay is
InstaPay is the Philippines' real time interbank transfer scheme, one of the two automated clearing houses under the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' National Retail Payment System. It moves pesos almost instantly between accounts at participating banks and at e-money issuers such as GCash and Maya, and settles across the BSP's PhilPaSS system. The scheme is governed by the industry body Philippine Payments Management Inc. under BSP oversight. Its sibling PESONet is the batch rail for larger same day transfers.
