Skyro, a digital-first consumer finance platform, disbursed PHP 15.8 billion (over $280 million) and doubled the number of loans issued in the Philippines in 2025. This represents a 2.6-fold increase in loan disbursements year-on-year and places the company among the fastest-growing consumer lenders in the country.
Skyro posted rapid growth with PHP 15.8B disbursed in 2025
Over the two-year period from 2023 to 2025, cumulative growth reached approximately 5.9-fold in the number of loans issued and 8.7-fold in disbursement value. Skyro’s loan portfolio includes POS (point-of-sale) installment loans, cash loans, and credit lines.
“We are proud to deliver multiple-fold growth in our loan portfolio, significantly outpacing the overall expansion of consumer lending in the Philippines,” said Skyro co-founder Nasim Aliev. “Since launching in 2022, Skyro has focused on offering a simple, convenient, and mobile-first solution at the point of sale, building a business that is clearly in strong demand.”
Aliev added that the company remains focused on expanding access to financing through technology-driven solutions. “Our core mission is to empower people by providing accessible financing. The priority remains delivering innovative, AI-powered digital finance tools that enhance the customer experience.”
Over the past year, Skyro’s customer base doubled and remains on a strong upward growth trajectory. At the same time, its loan portfolio was significantly de-risked, primarily due to Skyro’s AI-driven scoring system. The number of registered users on the Skyro platform reached 6.3 million at the end of 2025. The average loan size grew by nearly 30% year-on-year, driven by a shift toward larger-ticket products.
The company also expanded its merchant partner network significantly in 2025, with particularly strong growth in the online channel. The number of online partners grew by 405%, reflecting an active push into e-commerce POS lending. Meanwhile, the offline network added 631 new merchant locations, representing 50% growth. By the end of 2025, Skyro had partnered with more than 2,000 merchants, including those operating nearly 9,000 brick-and-mortar stores.
According to Skyro co-founder Arsen Liametov, the company’s momentum in the Philippines is laying the groundwork for broader regional growth.
“We’ve been tripling our revenue every year since 2022,” Liametov said. “Our success in unsecured lending in the Philippines provides a strong foundation for expansion into additional fintech products and new jurisdictions across developing markets.”
He added that Skyro’s international expertise continues to support its growth ambitions. “Backed by Skyro’s multinational team of over 600 fintech professionals with experience across more than 20 markets, we bring a broad perspective that strengthens our ability to scale our business model internationally.”
