FAQs

Obtaining a Loan

Finbubu offers access to three (3) types of loan products through our local licensed financial institution partners.

Finbubu Virtual Credit Card: A revolving credit line that you may use within your approved limit. You may borrow repeatedly as long as you meet the required minimum monthly repayment, and interest is charged only on the amount used. Available balances may be transferred to any bank account or e-wallet that supports InstaPay. You may also scan any QR Ph code at participating merchants nationwide to pay using your credit limit. Credit limits, interest rates, and fees are determined by the partner financial institution based on your profile, application details, and credit history.
How to apply: Existing customers with no overdue records may receive invitations via push notifications, SMS, or in-app banners. New customers may apply directly in the Finbubu app, subject to eligibility screening by our system and partner review.

Finbubu Credit Line: A credit line for personal financing needs with no specific usage restrictions. Funds may be transferred to any bank account or e-wallet that supports InstaPay. Loan terms of 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, or 12 months are determined by the partner financial institution based on your profile and credit history.
How to obtain: Offered only to selected customers through email, SMS, or in-app invitation.

Finbubu Business Credit: A business financing solution for growth, inventory, equipment, or working capital needs. Funds may be transferred to any bank account or e-wallet that supports InstaPay. Repayment terms of 1 to 10 years are tailored based on business profile and credit status.
How to obtain: Available to eligible business owners with at least 2 years of operation and valid SEC/DTI registration, via invitation or the Business Credit tab in the app.
For a Finbubu Business Credit, you must meet the following requirements:
  • - You must be a Philippine citizen.
  • - You must be at least 18 years old.
  • - You must have a source of income (private employee, self-employed, business owner, or remittance recipient).
