Here’s a quick guide:

⚡ Use InstaPay when:

- You need to send money right away

- The amount is ₱50,000 or below

- You are paying a person, a bill, or a small purchase

🗓️ Use PESONet when:

- The amount is large (usually above ₱50,000)

Both work with most bank accounts and e-wallets. Fees may vary depending on your bank, so always check before sending.
