Online Cash Loans Using Apps That You Can Download Today

Published

on

It is no surprise that alternative loan institutions are common in the Philippines. In its 2017 Financial Inclusion Survey (FIS), the central bank announced that only an estimated 15.8 million adult Filipinos, or 22.6 percent, have bank accounts, while an approximate 52.8 million, or 77.4 percent, remain unbanked. Due to this, only a small fraction of the Fiipino population can take advantage of financial products provisioned by banks – and that’s where these alternative microfinance companies come in.

In the Philippines, microfinance is dominating the financial industry through high-tech services easily accessible through the internet. With the rise of the Fintech scene, these microfinance companies have become an easier alternative for Filipinos who are seeking financial products that are suitable for their needs.

Other than online loans, technology today has paved the way to loan providers with smartphone apps. While there isn’t a handful of these app-based services yet, it’s worth noting that most of those that are available in App Store or Google Play right now work as long as you can comply with the requirements.

If you’re looking for some additional cash, money-lending mobile applications may have the type of loans that you need!
