Types of Loans and Services Offered

 

SAFC currently has 4 financing offers that are available to individuals and businesses: Car Loan, Truck Loan, 2n Hand Car Financing and Truck Loan Financing.  

 

Car Loan

 

Borrowers can use their original OR/CR as a collateral for their loan application. The good thing about this arrangement is you will still be able to use your car. Only the legal documents of your movable property will serve as a collateral. 

 

Requirements

 

  • Original copy of OR/CR upon release(photocopy upon application)
  • Latest picture of vehicle
  • Stencil of motor number and chassis number (in blue form)
  • Latest original Community Tax Certificate (cedula)
  • TIN ID or any proof of TIN
  • Documented proof of Income
  • Basic Documentary Requirements

 

Truck Loan

 

The PR/CR will serve as a collateral for a Truck Loan Financing and from there, based on the submitted documents and verification that will be conducted, the maximum loan amount will be determined.

 

Business owners will require financing for many reasons and it could be for additional capital requirements to grow the business further. Sometimes, owners take a personal loan for the business but in this case, they have the option to put up the business truck as a collateral to be able to be approved of a loan for the business, thereby limiting the liability they can take.  

 

Requirements

 

  • Original copy of OR/CR upon release(photocopy upon application)
  • Latest picture of vehicle
  • Stencil of motor number and chassis number (in blue form)
  • Latest original Community Tax Certificate (cedula)
  • TIN ID or any proof of TIN
  • Documented proof of Income
  • Basic Documentary Requirements

 

2nd Hand Car Financing

 

Obtaining a brand new car might be a little bit of a budget for some and they might want to consider 2nd hand car financing instead. With low interest rates, you can acquire a pre-loved car of your choice. Nowadays, it is more practical to look for a 2nd hand car because car values easily depreciate. Instead of buying a brand new car, you may be able to find a 2nd hand car that will still look and function as if it is brand new. 

 

With SAFC, the 2nd Hand Car Financing will be able to help their customers buy the vehicle they wish to purchase.  

 

Requirements

 

  • Copy of Official Receipt Certificate of Registration (OR/CR)
  • Proof of Income(3 months bank statement/payslip/passbook)
  • 2 Valid Ids of Seller
  • Stencil in LTO Blue Form
  • Offer to Sell
  • Acknowledgment Receipt
  • Basic Documentary Requirements 
    • Duly filled out application form
    • 3 pcs. 2×2 pictures (recent)
    • Photocopy of 2 valid IDs
    • Latest Proof of Billing (electric/water bill)
    • Latest Proof of Residency (Brgy. Clearance and Police Clearance/NBI Clearance)

 

Truck Financing 

 

For some businesses, trucks play a very important role in fulfilling the logistical requirements of their operations. Being able to make deliveries on time means fulfilling more sales, and when more deliveries are made, the higher the sales of the business which is the reason why companies would want to get more trucks to add to their fleet. 

 

Adding a truck means a major cash outflow for the business because it does not come cheap. With SAFC’s Truck Financing product, businesses will no longer have to worry about adding another truck for the business to operate more efficiently. 

 

Requirements

 

  • Original copy of OR/CR upon release(photocopy upon application)
  • Stencil of motor number and chassis number (in blue form)
  • 2 Valid Ids of Seller

Why Choose SAFC

 

SAFC is a brand that Filipinos know they can trust and have been genuinely helping people achieve their goals. But for those who are still unsure, here are the reasons why people should choose South Asialink Financing Corporation: 

 

Secured type of Borrowing

 

This type of loan agreement uses collateral but only limited to your car or truck’s OR/CR or PR/CR, and with this type of borrowing, a higher loan amount may be granted to the borrower depending on the collateral amount. 

 

The advantage that a secured type of borrowing offers is that loan applications have a higher guarantee of being approved and disbursed as soon as possible, thereby allowing customers to take care of what needs immediate attention from them. In businesses, time is of the essence because lost sales have a corresponding opportunity cost.  

 

Convenient and Simple Online Loan Application

 

Most loan applications today can already be done online which allows a hassle free application experience for those who have so many responsibilities during the day and would cost them if they have to frequently go back and forth to the branch to complete their loan applications. If customers have any other time constraints that would make it difficult for them to travel and wait long hours in a queue, this online application is perfect for you. All the information can be submitted through their website and requirements can be sent out to them as well. 

 

This type of loan application will help customers save most of their time and focus on their work, family and business instead. 

 

Loan Products Available to Individual & SMEs

 

SAFC understands the financial needs of individuals and businesses which is why offering loan products that also caters to SMEs ensures that businesses are able to thrive and grow in the economy. When there are plenty of loan products that a financing company offers, people are more inclined to go ahead with the type of loan that will accurately address their needs. And with SAFC, they make sure that both individuals and businesses have access to quality financing that offers not just beneficial terms but also excellent service.
