GTH Quickfund Opens First Philippine Branch in Valenzuela City to Expand MSME Loan Access

GTH Quickfund Opens First Philippine Branch in Valenzuela City to Expand MSME Loan Access

VALENZUELA CITY, Philippines, March 23, 2026 — GlobalTech Horizons Asia (GTH-Asia) Quickfund Lending Corporation opens its first physical branch in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila, offering accessible personal loans and MSME business loans to Filipino entrepreneurs and underserved communities across the Philippines.

For millions of small business owners across the Philippines, securing a business loan has never been simple. The process winds through stacks of documents, weeks of waiting, and rigid bank requirements that seem designed to filter people out rather than bring them in. GTH Quickfund Lending Corporation was built to change that, and on March 23, it took its most significant step yet.

GlobalTech Horizons Asia (GTH-Asia) officially launched the first physical branch of GTH Quickfund Lending Corporation in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila, marking the company's full transition from regional capital strategy to direct, community-based lending for everyday Filipinos. The branch offers personal loans and MSME business financing as faster, simpler alternatives to traditional bank loans in the Philippines.

A Branch Built for the Real Economy

The new Valenzuela City branch is purpose-built to serve two of the most underserved segments in Philippine finance: individuals with urgent personal financing needs, and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) seeking reliable capital to grow.

The branch is designed not as a traditional banking hall, but as an open and approachable space where small business owners can walk in, ask questions freely, and explore loan options without intimidation. This positions GTH Quickfund as a practical alternative lending solution in the Philippines for entrepreneurs who have historically been turned away by conventional banks.

GTH Quickfund offers:

• Personal loans for urgent and immediate financial needs
• Business loans tailored for MSMEs managing inventory, daily operations, and expansion
• A streamlined application process engineered for speed and fast approval turnaround
• Transparent loan terms with no hidden fees or bureaucratic barriers

Addressing the MSME Financing Gap in the Philippines

MSMEs represent 99.6 percent of all registered businesses in the Philippines and account for 65 percent of total employment nationwide, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority's 2023 MSME Statistics Report. Yet despite their outsized role in driving economic growth, the majority of these businesses continue to face significant barriers when accessing formal credit.

Traditional banks, with their rigid eligibility requirements and lengthy processing timelines, have historically left small business owners with few practical options for funding. The result is a persistent credit gap that stunts growth, limits hiring, and holds back entire communities, particularly in high-density urban areas like Valenzuela City where demand for small business loans is high and supply remains limited.

GTH Quickfund was established to directly address this gap, not by lowering standards, but by removing unnecessary friction. The company prioritizes speed, clarity, and human-centered service at every step of the lending process, making it one of the more accessible MSME financing options available in Metro Manila today.

From Institutional Capital to Grassroots Impact

GTH Quickfund's Valenzuela branch represents a deliberate strategic evolution for its parent company, GlobalTech Horizons Asia. While GTH-Asia operates as a regional platform for structured private capital with the capacity to evaluate up to USD 100 million in investments in 2026, the Quickfund subsidiary positions the group to operate meaningfully at both ends of the economic spectrum.

With an established strategic hub in Metro Manila's central business district and the new Valenzuela branch now fully operational, GTH-Asia has built what it describes as a dual-layer financial network. This connects high-level capital deployment with grassroots lending support for the small shops, service providers, and family-run enterprises that form the backbone of Philippine commerce.

GTH Quickfund Lending Corporation operates as a duly licensed lending company in the Philippines under GlobalTech Horizons Asia, committed to providing financial services that are fully compliant with applicable Philippine lending regulations.

A Grand Opening That Felt Like a Community Celebration

The branch launch was deliberately designed as a community event rather than a corporate ceremony. The grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony featured a traditional lion dance and live street drumming, drawing in local residents, families, business owners, and children from the surrounding Valenzuela City area. The atmosphere was festive and warm, a direct reflection of GTH Quickfund's commitment to being a genuine neighbor rather than just a financial institution.

The event underscored a core belief at the heart of the company: that trust is built through presence, not just products. Before anyone considers taking out a loan, they need to feel that the institution they are working with truly understands their community, their challenges, and their goals.

Leadership: Finance Should Work for People

Jack Yang, Regional Director of GTH-Asia and Founder of JYSigma Business Consultancy, spoke directly about the philosophy behind the launch:

"Lending should not feel complicated or out of reach. It should be a practical tool that helps people move forward. Being present in the community allows us to better support the businesses that keep the local economy running."

Yang's statement reflects a broader shift in GTH-Asia's approach to financial services in the Philippines, one that prioritizes real-world economic impact over institutional complexity, and positions GTH Quickfund as a long-term partner for Filipino entrepreneurs rather than simply a loan provider.

Why the Philippines, and Why Now

The Philippines stands out as one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic and fastest-growing markets for alternative financing. A rising entrepreneurial culture, a young and mobile-first workforce, and increasing demand for accessible small business loans have created ideal conditions for the lending model GTH Quickfund offers.

The company's long-term vision extends well beyond Valenzuela City. GTH-Asia plans to expand the Quickfund branch network further nationwide, bringing its community-first approach to MSME loans and personal financing to more cities and more entrepreneurs across the Philippines as demand continues to grow through 2026 and beyond.
