Asialink Finance Corp. (AFC) has obtained a ₱500 million sustainability-linked social facility from Cathay United Bank. The funding will let AFC expand loans to rural micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), unbanked individuals, and women-owned businesses — key drivers of local employment and economic resilience.
Structured around measurable social goals, the facility links lending growth directly to progress in financial inclusion and responsible financing. It comes as MSMEs face changing market conditions, filling a gap for accessible funding that helps these businesses operate and grow. The deal reinforces AFC’s commitment to bringing more inclusive and responsible financial services to underserved communities nationwide.
