 VI Treasury and Money Market Operations
 VII Electronic Banking Services and Operations
 VIII Regulations on Payment Systems
 IX Anti-Money Laundering Regulations

Each Part is further divided into Sections. For provisions that pertain only to a specific type of bank, a suffix is added to the Section number corresponding to a type of bank, as follows:

 Suffix  Type of Bank
 A  Universal and commercial banks (U/KBs)
 B  Thrift banks (TBs)

In case the provisions are applicable to two (2) types of banks, the applicable letters will be separated by a “/” symbol. The last two digits refer to the Section number, while the first digit/s refers to the Part number of the Manual.
