About Us

South Asialink Finance Corporation (SAFC) is one of the leading and fastest-growing non-bank financial institutions in the Philippines. With seven branches in 2006 and 78 branches today, SAFC has grown remarkably since its foundation in 2003. This year, SAFC is aggressively increasing its operations in Northern Luzon and the National Capital Region (NCR) to make their services more accessible to a wider area to provide enhanced financial solutions to an increasing number of customers, helping to meet the growing demand for reliable and affordable financing options in these key regions.

The strategic placement of branches demonstrates the company’s dedication to fostering local economic development by catering to the demands of specific markets. Preference for employing local residents further highlights SAFC’s dedication to community integration. This strategic approach has elevated SAFC into a multi-billion financial powerhouse, primarily focusing its operations in Southern Luzon and Cebu.

SAFC specializes in providing accessible and affordable financing options, making it the best financing company in the Philippines for vehicle loans. Our services include Vehicle Refinancing and Secondhand Vehicle Financing for both cars and trucks, along with Brand new Truck Financing. We have recently expanded our offerings to include Real Estate Refinancing and Brand new Car Financing, catering to a broader spectrum of financial needs.

With a commitment to support and empower local businesses, approximately 70% of SAFC’s loan portfolio is dedicated to SME Financing or Business Loans. This commitment ensures that SAFC not only provides financial solutions but also promotes economic growth and stability within the communities it serves.

Through its Corporate Social Responsibility arm SAFC Heroes, SAFC actively pursues sustainability initiatives that enhance our product offerings and operations. Our diligent approach is a reflection of our great dedication to the environment and our stakeholders. We hope to promote responsible development and community involvement by incorporating these ideas.

Looking to the future, SAFC remains dedicated to its mission of offering innovative financial solutions that cater to the evolving needs of Filipinos. Our continued investment in technology and community development positions us uniquely to lead and inspire in the financing and lending industry, making financial services more inclusive and accessible nationwide.
