2. Description of Service

phbanks.com is an independent online platform that provides information and comparison tools for various financial products and services available to consumers in the Philippines. Our Service allows you to compare products such as personal loans, credit cards, mortgages, insurance, and investments offered by third-party financial institutions, including banks, lenders, and insurance companies (collectively, "Providers").

It is crucial to understand that:

• We are not a financial institution. phbanks.com is not a bank, lender, credit broker, insurer, or financial advisor. We do not provide loans, issue credit cards, offer insurance, or make any credit or financial decisions.
• We are an information service. Our role is strictly limited to providing impartial information and comparison tools to help you research and evaluate financial products. We do not endorse or recommend any specific Provider or product.
• We do not process applications. Any application you make for a financial product is made directly with the respective Provider through their platform, not through phbanks.com. We may facilitate the transfer of your request to a Provider, but the application process, underwriting, and final decision are solely the responsibility of that Provider.

• Information is for general guidance only. The content on phbanks.com is intended for informational and comparative purposes only and should not be considered as financial, legal, or professional advice.
• Rates and terms are subject to change. Financial product details can change frequently and without notice from the Providers. The rates and terms displayed on our site are indicative and may not reflect the final offer you receive from a Provider.
• Verification is your responsibility. Before making any financial decision or entering into any agreement, you must verify all information (including rates, fees, and all terms and conditions) directly with the Provider of the product. The terms and conditions of the Provider will govern the product you choose.
• No warranty. We provide the Service on an "as is" and "as available" basis and make no warranties or representations, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of the information on our website.
