I also call on you to make sure that your banks and all your branches serve the public by exchanging old banknotes identified for demonetization with new generation banknotes even if they are not your regular clients, even if they are sidewalk vendors exchanging just a handful of old banknotes. This is financial inclusion at its best.
The BSP also pins its hope on gaining mileage on its financial inclusion targets with the launch of our National Retail Payments System Project. The NRPS is envisioned to provide an accessible, inclusive and safe electronic payments system using inter-operable payments network that financially links the country – from Batanes to Sulu – 24/7.
