E-motorcycles now more accessible with SB Finance, VinFast partnership

Amid rising fuel costs stemming from geopolitical conflicts, motorists now have better access to electricity-powered mobility as SB Finance has entered a strategic partnership with VinFast Auto Philippines Corp. to provide financing solutions for VinFast electric motorcycles across authorized dealerships nationwide. 

 

SB Finance will provide financing facilities for eligible customers purchasing VinFast electric motorcycles, subject to standard credit evaluation and documentary requirements. Financing programs may include loan terms of up to 36 months and loan-to-value ratios of up to 100%, depending on customer eligibility and credit assessment.

Michiko Cosico-Ortigosa, SB Finance Head of Motorcycle Sales and Distribution, and National Sales Operation Head Mark Gil Macasinag  during the ceremonial memorandum of agreement signing between SB Finance and VinFast for electric motorcycle financing.

 

The partnership reinforces both companies’ shared commitment to making electric mobility more accessible and financially attainable for Filipino consumers, with SB Finance among the first to offer dedicated financing for VinFast motorcycles in the Philippines. 

 

The collaboration comes as electric vehicle adoption continues to gain momentum in the Philippines, driven by rising fuel costs, increasing environmental awareness, evolving consumer preferences, and broader discussions around sustainable transportation.  

 

“Electric mobility is no longer a niche conversation. It is becoming a real market shift,” said SB Finance President and CEO Abbie Dans-Casanova. “But adoption will accelerate only when ownership becomes practical and financially accessible for more Filipinos. Financing institutions play an important role in helping bridge that gap.” 

 

The partnership aligns with SB Finance’s broader direction of expanding embedded and ecosystem-based financing solutions that support evolving consumer lifestyles and emerging industries. 

 

Through the partnership, VinFast customers may access financing support directly through authorized partner dealerships, creating a more integrated and convenient customer journey from vehicle selection to financing application. 

 

VinFast, known globally for its focus on electric vehicle innovation and green transformation, continues to expand its presence in the Philippines as part of its broader Southeast Asian growth strategy. 

 

“VinFast is committed to making electric mobility more accessible to Filipino consumers, and financing plays a critical role in that journey,” said Ireneo Fabros, CEO of VinFast E-Motorcycle Philippines. “Through this partnership with SB Finance, we can give more customers a practical path to owning electric motorcycles while supporting the country’s shift toward cleaner and more sustainable transportation.”  

 

The agreement also establishes collaboration between both companies in supporting financing implementation, dealer coordination, and customer access across VinFast’s authorized dealer network nationwide. 

 

The official launch is scheduled in July and can be availed through accredited VinFast dealerships. VinFast will also roll out a pre-order campaign for interested dealers from June 10 to July 18, 2026, giving them early access to its electric motorcycle lineup ahead of the official market launch. Customers may follow SB Finance’s official social media channels for updates on financing availability, participating dealerships, and application details.
