666JILI BSP Regulated: What It Means for a Wallet or a Bank

BSP regulated is a statement about the institution that holds your money, not about the website you pay. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the country’s central bank, supervises banks, e-money issuers and a range of other financial institutions, and it publishes the names. If you move pesos by wallet or bank, knowing where those lists are lets you check the financial side yourself. The gaming side is checked on PAGCOR’s lists, covered on the PAGCOR regulatory pillar.

What the Bangko Sentral publishes

Two lists do most of the work for a player.

The directory’s filter offers these institution types: universal and commercial banks, thrift banks, rural and cooperative banks, digital banks, offshore banking units, representative offices, non-banks with quasi-banking functions, and non-banks without quasi-banking functions. The second group includes remittance agents, lending investors and trust corporations, so a name in the directory still has to be the type you expect.

BSP supervised: how to search the directory

1. Open bsp.gov.ph by typing it, and find Directory of Banks and Non-Bank Financial Institutions.
2. Read the “Updated as of” date.
3. Pick the institution type from the filter that matches what you use: a bank, a digital bank or a non-bank.
4. Search the company name from your app’s terms page, not the app’s marketing name.
5. If you find nothing, try the EMI list below before you decide.

A name can be right and the type wrong. A lending company that appears in the directory is not an e-money issuer, so the type column matters as much as the name.

EMI license: what the EMI list shows

An EMI is an electronic money issuer. The Bangko Sentral’s list, headed “As of 31 May 2026”, is split in two. Section A is EMI-Banks, and the edition read on 6 October 2026 counts 29. Section B is EMI-Non-Bank Financial Institutions, and the edition read on 6 October 2026 counts 40.

The search term “emi license” usually means this list: it is the quickest way to see which institutions the Bangko Sentral records as electronic money issuers.

Section B prints the head of each institution, an address and a contact number, which helps you match a company name to a real office. Maya Philippines, Incorporated is entry 19 of Section B in that edition. That entry only tells you the wallet’s issuer is on the list. It says nothing about any casino, and this site makes no link between the two.

BSP regulated and QR Ph payments

The Bangko Sentral’s QR Ph page describes a national QR code standard that any participating bank or non-bank EMI can scan, used for person-to-person transfers and person-to-merchant payments through InstaPay. A QR Ph code points your payment at an account, so check whose account before you confirm. Read the QR code scam red flags before you pay a code a stranger sent you.

When a payment goes wrong

Reading payment rails in general

The generic pages explain how each Philippine rail works without tying any rail to one site. Start with the casino payment methods in the Philippines hub, then the Maya casino payments explainer for one wallet, described in general.
