BSP warns anew vs ‘UNA Financing’ name-dropping entity

MANILA, Philippines — The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has reiterated its warning to the public to refrain from dealing with persons or organizations misusing its name, logo, or the names of its personnel.

This comes after the May 2025 public advisory against an entity misrepresenting itself as the “UNA Financing Corporation.”

Such entity had used the BSP logo and the names of its personnel without authorization, the banking regulator said in a statement on Wednesday.

“The BSP reiterates that in performing its official functions, it does not solicit money, request personal or financial information, or offer investment opportunities or loans to the public,” the BSP said in an advisory.
