This partnership is designed to directly benefit Tricycle Operators and Drivers’ Associations (TODA) in Quezon City, Laguna, and Rizal by offering affordable financing options to help them transition to sustainable, cost-efficient transportation.

 

The collaboration between SB Finance and Cost Plus Inc. brings accessible financing to TODA members, enabling them to upgrade to electric tricycles that offer reduced fuel costs and lower maintenance expenses. This shift will not only improve their daily income but also help them embrace a greener, more sustainable mode of transportation.

With MotorsikLOAN, TODA members will benefit from long-term payment options available at over 100 Cost Plus Inc. branches nationwide. 

 

“By joining forces with SB Finance, we are providing TODA members with the tools they need to secure better incomes and more reliable vehicles.
