With the rapid expansion of online lending in the Philippines, fintech app JuanHand celebrates six years as the country’s leading online lending platform (OLP). It has disbursed over ₱45 billion across nearly 20 million transactions, giving Filipinos financial accessibility.
The rise of digital lending platforms has been fueled by increased smartphone adoption, financial inclusion initiatives, and evolving consumer preferences for quick, convenient loan access. According to industry projections, the Philippine digital lending market is expected to exceed $1 billion by the latter half of 2025, highlighting the sector’s immense growth potential.
In a news release, JuanHand CEO Francisco “Coco” Mauricio said the platform is committed to responsible lending, ensuring that financial assistance remains within reach for underserved Filipinos.
“At JuanHand, our mission has always been to extend a helping hand to those in need, bridging financial gaps so they can achieve their goals. A key pillar of our success lies in our commitment to fair and regulatory-compliant debt collection practices, providing borrowers the flexibility they need to repay their loans responsibly,” Mauricio said.
JuanHand maintains a strong 90% repeat borrowing rate, reflecting high customer trust and satisfaction. The platform said that by focusing on user-centric financial solutions, it has built a reputation for reliability and efficiency in the digital lending sector.
To further reinforce its growth and credibility, JuanHand has established key partnerships with government agencies such as the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC). These collaborations, they said, ensure compliance with industry standards while strengthening consumer protection measures.
JuanHand offers a seamless borrowing experience: Users can access loans of up to ₱50,000 with a nine-month payment plan, requiring only one valid ID. This streamlined approach aligns with the needs of digital-savvy Filipinos seeking financial solutions that prioritize convenience and speed.
Looking ahead, JuanHand aims to deepen its role as a trusted financial partner by expanding financial literacy initiatives. The company recently partnered with FEd Center, a social enterprise advocating financial literacy, to launch WAGI—the country’s first app-based financial education platform. Designed to make learning about finance engaging and rewarding, WAGI is now available for download on Google Play Store.
