As rising fuel prices continue to strain household budgets, Filipino commuters and motorists may soon find a more affordable path toward electric mobility. SB Finance has entered into a strategic partnership with VinFast Auto Philippines Corporation to provide financing solutions for VinFast electric motorcycles, making ownership of electric vehicles (EVs) more accessible to consumers nationwide.
Under the agreement, eligible customers purchasing VinFast electric motorcycles through authorized dealerships will be able to apply for flexible financing packages. Depending on credit assessment and eligibility, loan terms may extend up to 36 months, while qualified applicants could receive financing covering up to 100% of the vehicle’s value, subject to standard documentary and credit requirements.
The partnership reflects the shared goal of both companies to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility in the Philippines by reducing the upfront costs often associated with EV ownership. SB Finance becomes one of the first financial institutions in the country to introduce a dedicated financing program specifically for VinFast electric motorcycles.
Industry observers note that the collaboration comes as interest in electric vehicles continues to grow. Increasing fuel costs, heightened environmental awareness, changing consumer preferences, and broader discussions on sustainable transportation have all contributed to the rising demand for alternative mobility solutions. While electric vehicles are becoming more attractive to consumers, financing remains a critical factor in driving widespread adoption.
For SB Finance, the initiative supports its strategy of expanding embedded and ecosystem-based financing services that cater to evolving consumer needs and emerging industries. Through the program, customers can complete financing applications directly at participating VinFast dealerships, creating a more streamlined purchasing experience.
VinFast, a global electric vehicle manufacturer, has been steadily expanding its presence in the Philippines as part of its broader Southeast Asian growth plans. The company sees the partnership as a way to provide more Filipinos with practical access to electric motorcycles while supporting the country’s transition toward cleaner transportation options.
The financing program is scheduled to launch in July 2026 and will be available through accredited VinFast dealerships nationwide. Ahead of the rollout, VinFast will conduct a dealer pre-order campaign from June 10 to July 18, 2026, giving participating dealers early access to the company’s electric motorcycle lineup before its wider market introduction.
Both companies expect the partnership to strengthen the accessibility of electric mobility and contribute to the growing adoption of sustainable transportation solutions across the Philippines.
