These two distinct banking systems cater to different needs and sets of customers.
Non-banking institutions cater to those whom banks do not usually cover. They provide
heavily to infrastructure companies but also cater to several micro, small and medium
enterprises who may not be covered by banks.
When it comes to obtaining mortgages, nonbank lenders, like pawnshops and lending
companies, for example, may provide an easier route to obtaining a mortgage than a
traditional bank, especially for those customers with less-than-stellar credit.
There are 36 commercial banks, 492 rural banks, 57 thrift banks, 40 credit unions, and
around 6000 plus non-banking institutions in the Philippines.
The Bangko Sentral ng Philipinas was established in July 1993 to regulate and help
these banks implement the right policies. It was created as per the Philippine Constitution,
1987 and also as per the New Central Bank Act, 1993.

THE 5C’s of CREDIT
The “5 Cs of Credit” is a common phrase used to describe the five major factors used to
determine a potential borrower’s creditworthiness. Financial institutions use credit ratings to
quantify and decide whether an applicant is eligible for credit and to determine the interest
rates and credit limits for existing borrowers. A credit report provides a comprehensive
account of the borrower’s total debt, current balances, credit limits, and history of defaults
and bankruptcies, if any.
1. CHARACTER – the willingness of the borrower to pay the loan. Character is the most
comprehensive aspect of the evaluation of creditworthiness. The premise is that an
individual’s track record of managing credit and making payments indicates their “character”
as relevant to the lender, i.e., their propensity for repaying a loan on time. Past defaults imply
negligence or irresponsibility, which are undesirable character traits.
2. CAPACITY - a borrower’s ability to generate cash flows. A borrower’s capacity to repay
the loan is a necessary factor for determining the risk exposure for the lender. One’s income
amount, history of employment, and current job stability indicate the ability to repay
outstanding debt. For example, small business owners with unsteady cash flows may be
considered “low capacity” borrowers. Other responsibilities, such as college-bound children
or terminally ill family members, are also factored in to evaluate one’s future payment
obligations.
3. COLLATERAL - security pledged for payment of the loan. When being assessed for a
secured product such as a car loan or a home loan, borrowers are required to pledge certain
assets under their name as collateral. They may include fixed assets such as the title of a
parcel of land or financial assets and securities such as bonds.
4. CAPITAL – a borrower’s financial resources. Capital represents the overall pool of assets
under the name of the borrower. It represents one’s investments, savings, and assets such as
land, jewelry, etc. Loans are primarily repaid using overall household income; capital is
additional security in case of unforeseen circumstances or setbacks such as unemployment.

5. CONDITIONS - current economic or business conditions. It also refer to the specifics of
any credit transaction, such as the principal amount or interest rate. Lenders assess risk based
on how the borrower plans to use the money, should they receive it.
