Asialink Finance Corp, one of the Philippines’ fastest-growing financial institutions, reached a major milestone with the opening of its 250th branch in Maramag, Bukidnon on May 23, 2025. The expansion underscores the company’s commitment to providing accessible financial services to more Filipinos nationwide.
It follows a strong performance in 2024, where Asialink’s net income rose 4 percent to P1.1 billion. The expansion is part of its strategy to serve more micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and individuals in underserved areas across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
“This milestone is more than just a number. Each branch represents our commitment to building financial access where it matters most,” said Asialink Finance Corp. president and chief executive Samuel Cariño.
“Asialink’s growth is rooted in our purpose. With every new location, we aim to deliver stronger services, more relevant products, and genuine support to the communities we serve,” he said.
The company’s network grew rapidly in 2024, adding 134 new branches to end the year with 238. Asialink’s continued growth in 2025 is bolstered by investor confidence and the support of strategic partners such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and private equity firm Creador, both of whom increased their commitments last year.
Beyond physical expansion, Asialink has introduced new loan offerings to meet evolving client needs. Its real estate loan portfolio now includes Real Estate Mortgage (Sangla Titulo), housing unit takeout loans, and property acquisition loans, offering borrowing amounts of up to 20 million pesos with flexible payment terms.
These products are designed to help Filipinos achieve significant financial goals, from home ownership to business expansion or long-term investments.
The company’s growth has also created substantial employment opportunities. Asialink increased its workforce by 58 percent in 2024, growing from 1,311 employees in 2023 to 2,073 by year-end.
New jobs were created across all levels, including loan officers, credit investigators, collectors, and branch managers, contributing to local livelihoods and professional development.
“Asialink is more than a financing company. We are a partner in progress for every Filipino who aspires to grow,” Cariño said. “Each branch we open and each job we create brings us closer to a future where every Filipino has a fair chance to pursue their dreams.”
