Your Request
You asked for Illegal Online Lending Apps in the Philippines still in Operation.
Response to Request
Instead of a list of illegal Online Lending Applications (OLA), I can share with you the list of recorded online lending platforms. Please refer to the SEC website at https://www.sec.gov.ph/lending-companies-and-financing-companies-2/list-of-registered-online-lending-platforms/.
If the OLA is not among those that are listed therein, they are considered illegal and you must immediately report the same to the Enforcement and Investor Protection Department at epd@sec.go.ph

Good day! I regret to inform you that as I copied the link you sent, I was redirected repeatedly in a page that says "Sorry, the page you are looking for cannot be found". I suppose the link has an erratum. Kindly inform me if that is the case. Thank you very much.
