Every day, insurance agents in the Philippines take calls from policyholders. They process premium payments, update account details, and verify identities. Under the new Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA), one wrong move — e.g. an agent fails to spot a phishing attempt — can trigger a disputed transaction. That dispute can freeze a customer‘s funds for up to 30 days under BSP Circular 1215. For the insurance company, this might triggers complex issues around liability.
