The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has officially clarified that Apple Pay and Google Pay can launch their services without going having to register as operators of payment systems (OPS). Apple Pay and Google Pay are instead classified as technology service providers rather than payment system operators.

Both Apple Pay and Google Pay enable users to conduct financial transactions through near-field communication (NFC) technology. Users can make payments using their smartphones or smartwatches at compatible point-of-sale terminals. Financial institutions and payment service providers (PSPs) are the entities responsible for assessing and managing these technology platforms. The BSP holds PSPs accountable for any issues that may arise from integrating Apple Pay and Google Pay services.
