M-2024-031: Amendments to the Reporting Template of Biographical Data
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas mandates that all BSP-supervised financial institutions adopt the amended Biographical Data Template effective 31 October 2024. The updated template introduces changes to zip code and contact number formats while aligning family relations data with specific corporate governance regulations. Institutions must download the new template from the BSP website or request it via email, as submissions using the previous version will fail validation and be deemed non-compliant.
