Asialink Finance Corp. has opened its 250th branch in Maramag, Bukidnon, reinforcing its aggressive national expansion strategy and role in advancing financial inclusion.
This development follows a year of robust financial performance, with Asialink reporting a 4 percent rise in net income in 2024 to ₱1.1 billion, driven by branch expansion, diversified loan offerings, and increased demand from micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across the country.
The company added 134 branches last year, expanding its footprint to 238 by end-2024—a trajectory it continues in 2025, backed by investor confidence and capital support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and private equity firm Creador, both of which increased commitments in the previous year.
“This milestone is more than just a number,” said Samuel “Sam” Cariño, president and CEO of Asialink. “Each branch represents our commitment to building financial access where it matters most.”
Alongside geographic expansion, Asialink broadened its service portfolio in 2024, introducing high-value real estate loan products with flexible payment options—supporting Filipinos’ aspirations for property acquisition, homeownership, and business scaling.
Workforce growth also tracked business momentum, with Asialink’s headcount surging 58 percent to over 2,000 employees, further strengthening operational capacity and job creation nationwide.
Approaching its third decade, Asialink positions itself as a key player in inclusive finance, delivering commercial scale while supporting underserved communities across the Philippines.
