How to Avoid Bank Transfer Fees?

Bank transfer fees are fees digital banks charge to transfer your money from Bank A to Bank B. It can be likened to gas fees (for crypto transactions) or fares (for daily transport). Even though most banks nowadays charge fee for this service, some waive these fees up to an extended period to help us Filipinos recover from the pandemic.
