pera247 has already been facilitating short-term consumer loans for underbanked and unbanked consumers in the Philippines.
AsiaKredit CEO and co-founder Michael Singh said: “With product level profitability achieved on our first digital loan product launched in 2017, we are moving into the next phase of growth and are focused on serving the underbanked middle-class in the Philippines.
“We want to improve the lives of these consumers who are often overlooked by traditional banks and financial institutions, and for that to happen, they need affordable, longer-term credit that can be repaid in easy, fixed monthly installments.”
Plans are on to extend more services such as a digital revolving credit line for this customer segment soon, Singh said.
