Loan Regulations in the Philippines

Here's what to expect when getting an online loan in the Philippines:

Loan lending status in the Philippines: Legal
Maximum loan amount:No legal maximum loan amount. The specific rate caps above apply to unsecured general-purpose loans of PHP 10,000 or less with a term of 4 months or less.
Rate cap (loans up to PHP 10,000, term up to 4 months):For loans made, renewed or restructured from 1 Apr 2026: nominal interest capped at 6%/month (~0.2%/day); effective rate (including all fees, excluding late penalties) capped at 12%/month (~0.4%/day). Before that date the effective-rate cap was 15%/month under BSP Circular 1133.
Minimum loan term:No statutory minimum
Maximum loan term:The capped-rate regime covers terms up to 4 months; no statutory min/max term beyond that
Rollovers/renewals:Allowed. Renewed and restructured loans still fall under the same rate caps - lenders cannot use restructuring to bypass them.
Simultaneous loans allowed:Not confirmed, needs direct verification
Cooling-off period:Not confirmed, needs direct verification
Finance charges:Total cost cap: interest + fees + penalties combined cannot exceed 100% of the principal, however long the loan is outstanding
Collection charges/rules:Late penalties capped at 5%/month of the overdue amount. Collectors may not contact you before 6am or after 10pm (unless more than 15 days overdue or you consent), may not contact people in your phone contacts other than guarantors/co-makers, and may not threaten, insult or publicly shame you.
Regulator: Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) - lending and financing companies; Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) - rate-ceiling authority and BSP-supervised lenders
