“We are thrilled that Security Bank chose JuanHand as their first fintech lending company partner. By giving us their trust and confidence, this truly exemplifies Security Bank’s commitment to rapidly expand financial inclusion for all underserved Pinoys.  Security Bank’s support helps fulfill our mission of being a helping hand for every Juan,” said Francisco “Coco” Mauricio, President and CEO of WeFund Lending Corp.

JuanHand, operated by WeFund Lending Corp., has disbursed over Php40 billion in loans and has more than 12 million registered users.
