NBFIRA establishes minimum exemption requirements for finance and leasing businesses, mandating comprehensive legal documentation, P50,000 in sustained financial liquidity, and the appointment of fit-and-proper full-time officers. Applicants must submit complete applications through the RBSS portal, including a detailed business plan, three-year financial projections, and robust AML/CFT policies. The Authority evaluates these submissions within a 90-day window, granting licenses to compliant entities while retaining the right to pause assessments for additional information or reject incomplete filings.
