Starting January 2020, a new association in the Philippines, IARFCPH (International Association of Registered Financial Consultants Philippines Inc.), a non-stock non-profit organization, will be solely authorized to conduct the RFC Conversion and continuing education course in the Philippines.

Registered Financial Consultant
The Registered Financial Consultant (RFC®) is a professional designation awarded by the International Association of Registered Financial Consultants to those financial advisors who can meet the high standards of education, experience and integrity required of all its members. The IARFC holds the RFC designation to be different and perhaps more encompassing. However the IARFC does not assert that many other professional designations or their organization are inferior. The public is not served by divisive criticism, but rather by dedicated and well-prepared professionals. Our goal is to encourage consultants, with strong emphasis on the importance of ethical behavior and continuing education.

RFC Conversion Courses
The first RFC Conversion course was held in Manila in 2004 with over 60 participants. Today in 2020, after 16 years and 98 batches of participants, the Philippines has over 1,200 RFC graduates from various disciplines (insurance, banking, accountancy, church, government, entrepreneurs, real estate, etc.).
Subsequent conversion courses were held outside Metro Manila; in the cities of Cebu, Naga, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Bacolod, and Sta. Rosa Laguna. RFC professionals are now practicing in the major city centers of the islands of Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.
