Local government units (LGUs) are the face of the government in the smallest units of society. It is important that LGUs are able to service their constituents in the most efficient way possible. UBX, a leading open finance platform in the Philippines, is assisting LGUs level up through UrGovPH, a suite of open finance solutions that enable local governments to digitally transform their services.

The pandemic has taken its greatest toll on micro- to small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) which comprise 99.5% of all business in the Philippines, according to the Department of Trade and Industry. Their businesses suffered and yet they still have a lot of overhead to cover. As we all know, seeking a credit source from the big financial institutions can be a huge challenge for MSMEs.
A recent partnership between UBX Seekcap, the Philippines’s first same-day approval lending marketplace, and Radiowealth Finance, a leading financial services provider, aims to address this difficulty by offering business loans for working capital, franchising, machinery and heavy equipment, and business expansion.
Through its partnership with SeekCap, Filipino businesses can easily apply for a Radiowealth business loan online, with loan amounts ranging from PhP 50,000 to as high as PhP 5,000,000 payable up to 12 months. A sari-sari store would find it so much easier to make a loan since a loan application only requires a valid government ID, proof of business registration (barangay or mayor’s permit), and proof of income (sales receipts or sales logbook).
About SEEKCAP – SeekCap, the nation’s first online lending marketplace, is one of the ventures of UBX. UBX is the financial technology venture studio and fund of Union Bank of the Philippines. UBX is predicated on a future where financial services are invisible: seamlessly embedded into the experiences and activities that truly matter to businesses and people. SeekCap is short for “seeking capital” and also a play on the Filipino word sikap, which means diligent, disciplined, and hardworking, a trait that has always characterized successful small business owners.

I used to have an EON account with Unionbank and for some time, it served me well. But when it became inactive as my transactions declined, I decided to close it. Still, I continued to hear only good stuff from other friends who were either UnionBank employees or customers.
UnionBank’s vision to transform into a digital, customer-focused bank is evident. In May, it was named ‘second most helpful bank in Asia-Pacific’ in the BankQuality Consumer Survey on Retail Banks conducted in April. When the pandemic hit and it was difficult to get to my usual banks, I began to see how Unionbank’s foresight to bring banking online was truly a blessing not just for them but for all of us.
