BIZ BUZZ: Unstoppable Asialink

Looks like Asialink Finance Corp. is on a roll—and there’s no stopping it.

The IFC-backed lender, known for supporting micro, small and medium enterprises, just celebrated a major milestone: its 250th branch, officially opened in Maramag, Bukidnon, in late May.

And this milestone didn’t come out of nowhere. In 2024, Asialink posted a solid P1.1 billion in net income—a 4-percent jump from the previous year. But the real headline? The company went on a major expansion spree, opening 134 new branches last year. That’s more than two new locations every week.

Backed by investor confidence and the support of heavyweights like the Asian Development Bank and private equity firm Creador, Asialink’s growth story is only getting more exciting.
