                    [Summary] => 



The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said rural banks are now allowed to invest in automated teller machines (ATMs), a move that would further expand the network of smaller banks in the countryside.


The BSP explained over the weekend that there were no clearly-defined rules for rural bank investments in ATMs since the market had no demand for them in the past.


According to BSP Deputy Governor Nestor Espenilla Jr., however, the magnitude of remittances to families of overseas Filipino workers had created a market for funds that are easier to access.
