The rapid digitalization of banking in the Philippines created conditions under which fintech-affiliated firms could operate nationally active digital banking platforms (Pradipta et al., 2023). This paper examines this license-category arbitrage and the BSP's regulatory response — the Prudential Requirements for Digital-Centric Thrift Banks, Rural Banks, and Cooperative Banks — through a structured analytical and documentary review. Drawing on five thematic streams of scholarly and policy literature encompassing regulatory arbitrage theory, digital banking governance in emerging markets, tiered capital framework design, fintech–bank hybrid strategies, and the financial inclusion consequences of prudential tightening, the paper evaluates the BSP's framework against criteria of internal coherence, proportionality, competitive neutrality, and inclusion-sensitivity. The analysis finds that the framework's two principal instruments — a geographic customer concentration threshold of 30% and a tiered capital ladder linked to digital adoption rates — are analytically coherent and broadly consistent with established principles of proportionate banking regulation. The geographic threshold restores operational alignment between rural bank license classifications and their associated prudential standards; the tiered capital ladder compresses the residual arbitrage space below the formal reclassification trigger. However, the framework is found to be inadequately developed in terms of financial inclusion, lacking explicit inclusion-sensitive transition provisions that could mitigate short-run service contraction risks for underserved populations in island and rural communities. The paper further situates the Philippine case within the comparative Southeast Asian regulatory landscape, identifying the BSP's ex post reclassification approach as a model of potential relevance for regulators in markets facing analogous technology-enabled licence arbitrage dynamics. Recommendations are offered for regulatory implementation, supervisory data infrastructure, regional licensing framework design, institutional capital strategy, and future empirical research.
