100,000+ users and growing: SkyroCredit expands access to everyday spending across the Philippines

 

Skyro expands SkyroCredit nationwide as more Filipinos embrace digital credit for everyday spending

Everyday spending is driving the adoption of digital credit in the Philippines. More than 100,000 Filipinos already use SkyroCredit for purchases ranging from fast food and groceries to medicines and gas. Top merchants include Jollibee, McDonald's, DALI Supermarket, SM, Mercury Drug, Watsons, Petron, Shell, and Caltex.

With over 93,000 recorded transactions at Jollibee, 45,000 at DALI Supermarket, 32,000 at Mercury Drug, and over 33,000 across Petron, Shell, and Caltex, SkyroCredit is increasingly being used for routine spending, showing how consumers are turning to more flexible ways to pay.

Building on this growing adoption, Skyro, an SEC-registered fintech company, is now opening SkyroCredit to all eligible customers. Designed to bring together the convenience of digital payments and the flexibility of responsible credit, SkyroCredit is accepted anywhere QR Ph is available, allowing customers to shop now and pay later with 0% interest for up to 45 days.

Through SkyroCredit, customers may receive starting credit limits from ₱1,000 to ₱10,000, with the opportunity to grow their limit up to ₱100,000 through regular and responsible use. The product also rewards everyday transactions with 1% cashback for every ₱100 spent. Once cashback reaches ₱100, it can be used to pay for purchases through the Skyro app.

“Our goal with SkyroCredit is to give more Filipinos easier access to flexible credit, especially at a time when everyday expenses continue to rise and financial priorities continue to evolve,” noted Nasim Aliev, Skyro co-founder and co-CEO. “Consumers today need financial solutions that are built around real-life spending needs and changing financial priorities.”

Aliev added that opening SkyroCredit to all eligible customers reflects Skyro’s commitment to making formal credit more accessible, digital, and customer-centric. Through regular use and responsible repayment, customers can take greater control of their payments while building stronger credit habits over time.

According to Iya Lelyanova, Skyro Head of Marketing, “We believe SkyroCredit is one of the best credit line options in the market today. With up to 45 days of 0% interest and 1% instant cashback on every transaction, it combines flexibility and rewards to deliver real value to customers. We're proud to bring these benefits to more Filipinos as we continue expanding across the country.”

Customers can also choose how they repay their balance, whether by paying in full for the amount they have used or by making the minimum payment and paying the remaining balance over time.

Filipinos aged 18 and above can apply online through the SkyroCredit webpage at skyro.ph/skyrocredit, the Skyro app, or participating partner stores, including Home Along, Metro Retail, Prince Retail, LCC, Alson's Trading, and Willy & Sons. Applicants only need one valid government-issued ID, a smartphone, and an active Philippine mobile number.

As more Filipinos look for practical, accessible, and reliable financial solutions, Skyro remains committed to providing credit products that support consumers in managing their everyday financial priorities. Through SkyroCredit, the company continues to strengthen its role in expanding access to formal credit and enabling more Filipinos to participate in the digital financial ecosystem.

0% interest now possible with Skyro’s Zero Plan

We all have different priorities that come with costs. It could be a big home renovation, a long-time goal, or a special life event. For others, it might be an emergency like a car or home repair that wasn’t part of the plan. In times like these, paying the full amount can be tough. That’s why many people turn to loans, which often come with high interest.

Skyro’s new Zero Plan lets customers enjoy 0% interest if they pay off their loans within 3 or 6 months.

To ease the financial burden of many Filipinos, Skyro, one of the country’s fastest-growing fintech companies, has introduced the Skyro Zero Plan, allowing customers to enjoy 0% interest for their loan.  

With the Skyro Zero Plan, customers can pay off their loan within the first three (3) or six (6) installment period without any interest. This special window lets them settle the full amount and stay completely interest-free.

“The Skyro Zero Plan helps Filipinos manage their finances with more confidence by offering flexible and secure financing for important purchases. By giving customers the option to enjoy 0% interest and settle their balance early, we hope to make life’s big moments easier to handle without the pressure of added borrowing costs,” explained Dmitriy Vavulidi, Skyro’s Head of Product. 

 

Skyro makes it more convenient for customers: Once the loan is approved, the Zero Plan is automatically included. Customers will see the details in their loan agreement which includes the terms of the Zero Plan. 

To make the most of the Zero Plan, customers must pay their full loan within the Zero Period to enjoy 0% interest, which includes the full financed amount, the processing fee, and the Value-Added Services (VAS) total cost (if any, excluding Loan Protection and Flexi).

Customers can pay in full through the Skyro app or reach out to Customer Care for guidance on the exact amount and payment process. Notably, since the goal is to fully settle the loan early, the total amount due within the Zero Period may be higher than the regular monthly schedule because they are settling the full balance early, and not just following the regular monthly plan.

In case the customers fail to pay in full during the Zero Period, that’s okay. They can simply continue with their regular loan and pay interest as originally scheduled in their loan agreement. Their repayment schedule will stay the same, and interest will apply from the start of their loan, just like the regular Skyro product loan. The Zero Period also stays in place even if the customer adjusts their due date using Skyro Flexi. For instance, if the Zero Period originally ends on August 1 and the customer shifts their due date to August 16 via Flexi, the Zero Period will now also end on August 16.

With the Skyro Zero Plan, customers can confidently finance their essentials or finally get that dream item with the option to stay interest-free from the very start. It’s one more way Skyro makes financing simpler and more flexible for Filipinos.

Dennis Trillo proves big buys doesn’t mean big stress

 

Award-winning actor Dennis Trillo opened up about his practical approach to managing large expenses particularly on installment loans.

One of the admirable traits of award-winning Kapuso actor Dennis Trillo is his ability to prioritize what is important to him – whether it concerns his family, career and even financial matters. 

His personal approach is to “Identify yung needs sa wants and prioritize ano ang mas kailangan, mas magagamit, at mas may kahalagahan sa’yo,” says the 44-year-old actor who is known for starring in such critically acclaimed movies as Aishite Imasu 1941: Mahal Kita, Felix Manalo and Green Bones for which he won acting awards.

While Dennis admits having been told by elders when he was younger that the idea of utang or loans is bad, or to avoid installment payments, his views have since changed when he became an adult: “Lagi sinasabi ‘yan ng nakatatanda sa atin para ma-encourage tayo to be responsible sa pera. But in reality, ‘di maiiwasan na minsan kailangan natin manghiram para matustusan kung ano man ang pangangailangan natin.”

“Through time, nagbago pananaw ko by personally experiencing the need to ease some financial obligations. Kaya naman minsan kailangan lang ng konting alalay para ‘di ganon kabigat sa bulsa.”

This is why as the new brand ambassador of Skyro, a fintech company that helps ease the financial worries of Filipinos through friendly installment options, he couldn’t be happier to find a brand that resonates with his own values and views, especially when it comes to money and spending for your loved ones.

Introduced in August 2022, Skyro offers various loan products including point of sale (POS) or product loans, cash loans, and credit line for QR Ph payments. Since its launch, Skyro has served over 500,000 Filipinos, becoming a trusted partner to both customers and a growing network of merchants nationwide.

Skyro also provides one of the most flexible loan features in the market: Skyro Flexi — which lets customers easily adjust their due dates and monthly payments anytime, directly in the app, with no paperwork or questions asked.

“I’m very excited and at the same time grateful to be Skyro’s brand ambassador.” He continues, “The reason why I immediately said yes to the brand was because of its value and the option it gives Filipinos. May mga purchases na urgent at considered necessities sa buhay natin and Skyro makes that purchase happen.”

He will showcase Skyro’s capabilities by starring in a series of humorous and playful digital commercials that viewers can watch on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfO8HJQY1R0.  

As such, he is quick to point out that no matter how easy it is to apply for a Skyro loan, loans are still a responsibility. He reminds borrowers to assess their capacity to pay off loans and to make sure payment terms are viable for them. In his case, being a husband and family man means he can’t always decide on his own, especially when it involves big ticket purchases.

“Syempre yung big purchases dapat pagusapan namin ng asawa ko ‘yan,” he stressed, referring to his wife, the multi-awarded actress Jennylyn Mercado. “Marami kaming kailangan paglaanan na expenses for our family so dapat pag-isipan nang mabuti.”

Without a doubt, Dennis Trillo is the perfect match for Skyro. With more exciting projects in the pipeline for this collaboration, he promises to take to heart to represent the brand well, and he’s already doing so by imparting these valuable words:  “It’s okay to explore your financial options. As long as you are aware of what you are getting into, then you can get your loan worry-free. Syempre, do it via Skyro!”

Skyro has introduced Skyro Flexi, a new feature that allows customers
to easily modify their payment terms, any time.

Skyro was first introduced in Mindanao in May 2023, and following its successful launch in the region, it became a natural choice for the launch of our flagship product feature, Skyro Flexi in November 2024.

“Unlike the traditional loans where repayment terms have fixed due dates and amortization amounts, Skyro Flexi lets borrowers adjust their payment schedules and amounts instantly through the Skyro app. That’s ultimate flexibility and control whenever you need it,” explained Skyro’s Head of Product Dmitriy Vavulidi.

This new loan feature was introduced in line with the company’s mission to empower Filipinos with financial solutions that help them overcome challenges, enabling them to focus on what truly matters — living a better life and sharing happy moments with their loved ones. With this new loan innovation, customers can seamlessly adjust their monthly payments through the Skyro app, whether to reduce financial strain because their priorities have changed or accelerate repayment because they suddenly have extra funds. 

“Flexi is more than just convenience — it’s financial flexibility that helps our customers save money, reduce stress, and live life on their terms. We aim to be a reliable partner in any situation and continue to develop solutions that simplify and enhance the lives of our customers. Their loan, their rules — that’s Flexi,” concluded Dmitriy Vavulidi.
