The rise of the FinTech industry made it easier for people to get money, helping those who usually don’t have access to financial services. JuanHand, a top online lending platform licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, keeps helping millions of Filipinos who can borrow money but have limited options.
To provide more financial help to those who need it, WeFund Lending Corp., the company behind the JuanHand app, recently partnered with SeaBank Philippines Inc. (A Rural Bank). With this collaboration, SeaBank plans to give about 300 million pesos in loans to eligible borrowers through the JuanHand app. SeaBank is a licensed rural bank regulated by the BSP and is part of SEA Limited, one of the biggest tech companies in Asia.
The agreement was signed on September 20, 2023, by Francisco Mauricio, the President and CEO of WeFund Lending Corp., and Siew Ghee Kung Lim, the Executive Vice President of Operations at SeaBank. It’s one of the first instances of different institutions collaborating in this scale to provide loans in the country.
“We are honored to have been selected by SeaBank Philippines as its one of its first loan channeling partners in the country. With this partnership, Juanhand will sustain its momentum as the premier fintech loan app providing the easiest way for Filipinos to access cash, leading to a much better financial well-being.”
