Asialink Finance Corp. (AFC) has secured an additional $50 million from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), raising its total credit facility to $165 million to supercharge lending to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) nationwide.

“2025 has been a monumental year for Asialink. From expanding our network to reach more Filipinos, launching new products tailored to the evolving financial needs of our communities, and receiving prestigious industry awards, each milestone reflects our unwavering commitment and passion to serve Filipinos better and fuel their aspirations,” AFC President and CEO Samuel Cariño said Monday. 

Data from AFC showed loan disbursements reached P16.6 billion this year, up 6 percent. With fresh funding and ongoing nationwide expansion, the company said it will accelerate MSME growth, create more jobs, and drive inclusive economic development.

AFC now operates over 250 branches, serving 19,265 MSMEs, and its Women’s Access to Inclusive Support Loan has already supported more than 2,600 women-led businesses since its July launch, with Jolina Magdangal named ambassador to boost its reach.
