Banking Laws
This module aims to teach the current law and practice in the field of banking law.
As businesses continues to grow, more and more people transact commercial
transactions in banks. Thus, the need to understand banking concepts and banking laws
to acquaint and prepare the students in the real-life scenario involving banking
transactions.
a. The New Central Bank Act (Rep. Act No. 7653) (the "BSP Law") The BSP
Law establishes the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (“BSP”), its organizational set-
up, responsibilities, corporate authorities, key operational procedures, and
special powers over banks. It then defines the key roles of the BSP, namely:
(a) as a central monetary authority with the sole power to issue currency and
legal tender and to regulate the supply of money and credit in the system; (b)
as government banker with the power to represent the national government in
all dealings with international financial institutions; and (c) as a central bank
with regulatory and supervisory power over all banks and financial institutions
exercising quasi-banking functions.
b. The General Banking Law of 2000 (Rep. Act No. 8791) ("GBL") The GBL
provides for the regulatory supervision of the BSP over all banks in the
Philippines. It likewise provides for the authority of the BSP and the
organization, management, and administration of foreign and local banks,
quasi-banks, and trust entities, and other types of banks. Under the GBL,
banks are classified into commercial banks, universal banks, thrift banks,
cooperative banks, Islamic banks, and other classes as may be determined by
the Monetary Board, with various powers and requirements for each
classification. In addition, the GBL also provides for the rules on deposits,
loans and investments, trust operations, placement under conservatorship,
and cessation of banking business.
c. Secrecy of Bank Deposits Act (Rep. Act No. 1405, as amended) This law
prohibits the examination and inquiry into all bank deposits and investments
in government securities with Philippine banks by any person, government
official, bureau, or office, and prohibits the disclosure by any bank official or
employee to any unauthorized person of any information concerning the said
deposits, subject to certain exceptions.

THE NEW CENTRAL BANK ACT (NCBA, R.A. 7653) as amended by R.A. 112111
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) It is the State’s central monetary authority. It is the
government agency charged with the responsibility of administering the monetary,
banking and credit system of the country and is granted the power of supervision and

Learning Task 1
Questions:
1. What’s the role of the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in our Banking Systems?
2. Why is the BSP considered as the “lender of last resort”?
3. What is the role of the Monetary Board in Central Bank?
In this section, we will discuss in more detail the pertinent laws in relation to the conduct
of banking in the Philippines.
Policy of the state behind the General Banking Act (RA 8791)
Foreign individuals may own or control up to forty percent (40%) of the voting stock of
a domestic bank (GBL, Sec 2).
GR: A corporation may only own forty percent (40%) of the bank
XPNs:
1. A universal bank can own up to 100% of a thrift bank;
2. A corporation whose shares are listed in the stock exchange can own up to
60% of the bank; NOTE: This privilege can be exercised only once.
Classifications of banks
1. Universal banks- Primarily governed by the GBL. They can exercise the powers of
an investment house and invest in non-allied enterprises and have the highest
capitalization.
2. Commercial banks - Ordinary banks governed by the GBL which have a lower
capitalization requirement than universal banks and can neither exercise the powers of
an investment house nor invest in non-allied enterprises.
3. Thrift banks – These are: a. Savings and mortgage banks; b. Stock savings and
loan associations; and c. Private development banks, which are primarily governed
by the Thrift Banks Act (RA 7906).
4. Rural banks – These are mandated to make needed credit available and readily
accessible in the rural areas on reasonable terms and which are primarily governed by
the Rural Banks Act of 1992 (RA 7353).
5. Cooperative banks – Banks whose majority shares are owned and controlled by
cooperatives primarily to provide financial and credit services to cooperatives. It shall
include cooperative rural banks. They are governed primarily by the Cooperative Code
(RA 6938).
6. Islamic banks – Banks whose business dealings and activities are subject to the
basic principles and rulings of Islamic Shari’ a, such as the Al Amanah Islamic
Investment Bank of the Philippines which was created by RA 6848.
7. Other classification of banks as determined by the Monetary Board of the BSP
Trust entities - These are entities engaged in trust business that act as a trustee or
administer any trust or hold property in trust or on deposit for the use, benefit, or behalf
of others (GBL, Sec. 79). A bank does not act as a trustee.
Illiquidity
This occurs when the bank is not liquid. It means that the bank cannot meet its
current liabilities. It is handled by conservatorship.
Liquidity
It is the ability of an asset to be converted into cash. An entity is liquid when it is
able to pay its liabilities when they fall due.
Insolvency
This occurs when the actual market value of assets is insufficient to pay its
liabilities, not considering capital stock and surplus which are not liabilities for such
purpose. An entity is insolvent when it is unable to meet current and long-term
obligations. It is handled by receivership or closure. The duration of conservatorship
shall not exceed 1 year (NCBA, Sec. 29)
CONSERVATORSHIP
Conservator
One appointed if the bank is in the state of illiquidity or the bank fails or refuses
to maintain a state of liquidity adequate to protect its depositors and creditors. The
bank still has more assets than its liabilities but its assets are not liquid or not in cash
thus it cannot pay its obligation when it falls due. The bank, not the BSP, pays for fees.
Termination of conservatorship
1. Conservatorship is terminated when the Monetary Board is satisfied that the bank
can operate on its own and the conservatorship is no longer necessary; or
2. When the Monetary Board, on the basis of the report of the conservator or of its own
findings, determine that the continuance in business of the institution would involve
probable losses to its depositors or creditors (effect: the bank or quasibank would then
be place under receivership)
1. Cash Flow test - Inability to pay liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course
of business (NCBA, Sec. 30 [a]).
2. Balance sheet test – Insufficiency of realizable assets to meet its liabilities (NCBA,
Sec 30 [b]).
3. Inability to continue business without involving probable losses to its depositors and
creditors (NCBA, Sec 30 [c]).
4. Willful violation of a cease and desist order under Section 37 that has become final,
involving acts or transactions which amount to fraud or a dissipation of the assets
(NCBA, Sec 30 [d]).
5. Notification to the BSP or public announcement of a bank holiday (GBL, Sec 53).
6. Suspension of payment of its deposit liabilities continuously for more than 30 days
(GBL, Sec 53).
7. Persisting in conducting its business in an unsafe or unsound manner (GBL, Sec 56).
Under R.A. No. 7653, the power of the Monetary Board (MB) over banks,
including rural banks, was increased and expanded. The Court, in several cases,
upheld the power of the MB to take over banks without need for prior hearing. It is not
necessary inasmuch as the law entrusts to the MB the appreciation and determination
of whether any or all of the statutory grounds for the closure and receiver-ship of the
erring bank are present. The MB, under R.A. No. 7653, has been invested with more
power of closure and placement of a bank under receivership for insolvency or
illiquidity, or because the bank’s continuance in business would probably result in the
loss to depositors or creditors. BSP may order the closure of the bank even without
prior hearing.
BSP may rely on the report of either the conservator, receiver or the head of the
supervising and examining department. It is not required to conduct a thorough audit
of the bank before ordering its closure. The "close now, hear later’’ doctrine justifies
BSP in ordering bank closures even without prior hearing. Thus, injunction does not lie
against BSP in the exercise of the power and function. A contrary rule may lead to
dissipation of assets and trigger bank run. Judicial review comes only after action of
the Monetary Board if the same was attended with bad faith and grave abuse of
discretion (BSP v. Valenzuela, G.R. No. 184778, October 2, 2009).
Note: The probability of bank runs may give rise to the right to invoke borrowing
of emergency loans and advancements under Sec. 84 of NCBA
a) The order may be assailed by the stockholders representing at least majority of the
outstanding capital stock;
b) within ten days from receipt by the board of directors of the order; and
c) thru a petition for certiorari on the ground that the action taken by the BSP was in
excess of jurisdiction or with grave abuse of discretion as to amount to lack of
jurisdiction.
Q: Upon maturity of the time deposit, the bank failed to remit. By reason of
punitive action taken by Central Bank, the bank has been prevented from
performing banking operations. Is the bank still obligated to pay the time
deposits despite the fact that its operations were suspended by the Central
Bank?
As a general rule, the bank is not liable to pay interest on DEPOSIT once it is
closed and ceased operations.
RECEIVERSHIP
Receiver
One appointed if the bank is already insolvent which means that its liabilities are
greater than its assets. The Court has no authority to appoint a receiver for a bank if
the latter will function as such under BSP law. The power to appoint belongs to BSP.
NOTE: For banks, the receiver would be the Philippine Deposit Insurance
Corporation; for quasi-banks, it could be any person of recognized competence in
banking or finance (NCBA, Sec. 30).
Duties of a receiver
The receiver is not authorized to transact business in connection with the bank’s
assets and property
A receiver can only perform acts of administration and not acts of dominion. The
receiver cannot approve an option to purchase real property. He has only the authority
to administer the same for the benefit of its creditors (Abacus Real Estate Development
Center, Inc. v. Manila Banking Corp, G.R. No. 162270, Apr. 6, 2005).
LIQUIDATION
Liquidation of a bank
Acts of liquidation are those which constitute the conversion of the assets of the
banking institution to money or the sale, assignment or disposition of the same to
creditors and other parties for the purpose of paying debts of such institution (Banco
Filipino v. Central Bank, G.R. No. 70054, December 11, 1991).
Liquidator of a distressed bank can prosecute and defend suits against the bank
A liquidator can foreclose mortgages for and in behalf of the bank even if the
issue on receivership and liquidation is still pending (Supra).
Q: An intra-corporate case was filed before RTC. On the other hand, another
complaint was filed before BSP to compel a bank to disclose its stockholdings
invoking the supervisory power of the latter. Is there a forum shopping?
GR: All claims against the insolvent bank should be filed in the liquidation proceeding.
It is not necessary that a claim be initially disputed in a court or agency before it is filed
with the liquidation court (Ong v. CA, G.R. No. 112830, Feb. 1, 1996).
XPN: Where it is the bank that files a claim against another person or legal
entity, the claim should be filed in the regular courts.
Reason: The judicial liquidation is intended to provide an orderly mode for
payment of all claims. In addition, such petition is not in the nature of a disputed
claim against the bank.
PURPOSE
PROHIBITED ACTS
DEPOSITS COVERED
1. All deposits of whatever nature with banks or banking institutions found in the
Philippines.
2. Investments in bonds issued by the Philippine government, its branches, and
institutions (R.A. 1405, Sec. 2).
3. Trust accounts Meaning of the phrase "of whatever nature and kind"
R.A.1405 is no longer limited to deposits governed by the law on loans giving
rise to creditor-debtor relationship but it covers fund of whatever nature so long
as the bank may use and utilize it in authorized loans.
NOTE: Despite such pronouncement that trust funds are considered deposits, trust
funds remain not covered by PDIC.
EXCEPTIONS
Other Instances:
e. The prohibition against examination of bank deposit does not preclude its
garnishment to satisfy a judgment against the depositor (Oñate v. Abrogar, G.R.
No. 107303, February 21, 1994)
g. The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) may inquire into any deposit with
any bank in case of violation of the RA 9160 or the AMLA if there is probable
cause that it is related to an unlawful activity (RA 9160, as amended, Sec. 11)
h. The PDIC and the BSP may examine deposit accounts and all information
related to them in case of a finding of unsafe or unsound banking practices (RA
3591, as amended, Sec. 8)
Foreign currency deposits are covered by R.A. 6426 otherwise known as the “Foreign
Currency Deposits Act”.
GR: Foreign currency deposits cannot be inquired or looked into. All foreign
currency deposits are absolutely confidential (RA 6426, Sec. 8).
RA 6426 is a special law designed especially for foreign currency deposits in the
Philippines. RA 1405 which covers all bank deposits in the Philippines is the
general law which does not nullify the special law on foreign currency deposits.
The surety which issued a bond to secure the obligation of the principal debtor
cannot inquire into the foreign currency deposits of the debtor even if its
XPNs:
1. The depositor has given his written permission.
3. A father who sued his daughter for illegally withdrawing funds from his foreign
currency deposit and transferring to another bank in the name of her sister, can
inquire into the deposit of the sister, because the money deposited belongs to
him (China Banking Corp. v. CA, G.R. No. 140687, December 18, 2006).
6. AMLC may inquire into any deposit with a bank or financial institution in case
of violation of RA 9160 if there is probable cause that it is related to an unlawful
activity (RA 9160, Sec. 11).
8. PDIC and BSP may examine deposit accounts and all information related to
them in case of a finding of unsafe or unsound banking practices (RA 3591, as
amended, Sec. 8).
9. AMLC can investigate (a) any property of funds related to financing terrorism;
(b) property or funds of any person if there is probable cause to believe he is
committing or attempting or conspiring to commit terrorism or financing
terrorism (RA 10168, Sec. 10).
The prohibition against examination or inquiry does not preclude its being
garnished for satisfaction of judgment. The disclosure is purely incidental to the
execution process and it was not the intention of the legislature to place bank
deposits beyond the reach of judgment creditor (PCIB v. CA, G.R. No. 84526,
January 28, 1991).
XPN: The application of Sec. 8 of RA 6426 depends on the extent of its justice.
The garnishment of a foreign currency deposit should be allowed to prevent
injustice and for equitable grounds, otherwise, it would negate Article 10 of the
New Civil Code which provides that “in case of doubt in the interpretation or
application of laws, it is presumed that the lawmaking body intended right and
justice to prevail (Salvacion v. Central Bank of the Philippines, G.R. 94723,
August 21, 1997).

THE SUPREME COURT (SC) approved new rules on the liquidation of closed banks which will
take effect on April 16.
Under A.M. No. 19-12-02-SC dated Feb. 18, the Supreme Court approved the proposed rules
of the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC), as reviewed by the Sub-committee on
Commercial Courts, to assign as liquidation courts the regional trial courts designated as
special commercial courts (SCC).
All pending petition for assistance in the liquidation (PAL) of closed banks that have not been
given due course by regular courts will be transferred to SCCs.
“Other PALs which have been given due course shall continue to be heard by the courts where
they are pending, but shall be governed by these Rules, unless the LC orders otherwise to
prevent manifest injustice to the parties involved,” the resolution read.
Under the rules, the receiver, who will take over and liquidate the bank, will file a petition with
the court within 180 days from the publication of the notice of the bank’s closure.
If the PAL is insufficient in form, the court shall order the receiver to comply with the
requirements within 10 days from the receipt of the petition.
If the petition is sufficient, the court will issue an order setting for initial hearing in 60 days and
direct claimants whose claims were denied by the receiver to file their claims with the court
within 20 days from the date of publication of the order or 60 days from the receipt of notice of
denial or disallowance of the claim, whichever is issued later.
The receiver will present proof of compliance with publication requirements and submit a
formal offer of evidence before the court, submitting the petition for resolution. The court,
within 10 days, shall issue an order giving due course to the petition.
The court, meanwhile, may dismiss a dispute claim on any applicable grounds under the Rules
of Court or hold a pre-trial and trial before rendering a decision.
After the court gives due course to the petition, the receiver should file a liquidation report on
the closed bank not later than the end of the third quarter of the succeeding year or as may be
required by the court.
The partial or final asset distribution plan (ADP) of a closed bank for its creditors may be filed
anytime after the submission of the liquidation report and the motion for approval for the final
ADP will be filed within five years from the date of the closure but maybe extended to seven
years based on compelling grounds.
A hearing will be set within 90 days from the receipt of the ADP and creditors will have to file
their comments within 10 days.
The resolution approving the partial or final ADP must be published in a newspaper within five
days and its finality will take effect after 30 days or after denial of motion for reconsideration.
The receiver will implement the ADP.
A final report on the implementation of the final ADP will be submitted by the receiver to the
Monetary Board and Securities and Exchange Commission after expiration of winding-up
period under the charter of the PDIC and submit a copy to the court.
The resolution also states the rule directing the receiver to file a motion for approval of plan
within five years from closure should apply prospectively to banks which will close after the
effectivity of the rules while for banks closed prior to this, receivers are given seven years from
the effectivity of the rules to file a motion for approval of a final ADP. — V.M.M. Villegas
