GOOGLE is adopting a more stringent approval process for online lending applications in the Philippines, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said in a media release on Tuesday. READ:

“Google will require developers offering personal loans in the Philippines to submit a personal loan app declaration, and submit necessary documentation before they could publish apps on Google Play Store,” the SEC said.In the declaration form, developers will need to state that they are registered with and duly licensed by the SEC to operate an online lending platform , or to perform lending-based crowdfunding activities, such as peer-to-peer lending, or to act as a crowdfunding intermediary.

Persons or entities operating as lending companies are required to register as corporations and to secure from the SEC the necessary authority to operate. In November 2021, the commission imposed a moratorium on new OLPs while it drafted guidelines on the registration and licensing of OLPs.
