SyCipLaw contributed the Philippine chapter of the International Banking Review 2026/27 published by Beaumont Capital Markets. The chapter was co-authored by Partners Jan Celine C. Abaño-Ranada, Camille Angela M. Espeleta-Castillo, and Ricardo Jesus E. Gutierrez.
The Philippine chapter highlights the legal and regulatory framework governing financial institutions, with particular focus on measures aimed at strengthening crime prevention, enhancing consumer protection, and reinforcing confidence in the Philippine banking system. The authors discuss key regulatory developments, including the Financial Products and Services Consumer Protection Act and the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act, alongside other initiatives designed to reduce fraud risks and strengthen depositor protection.
The guide offers an overview of legal, regulatory, and market developments shaping banking systems across nine key jurisdictions worldwide.
