The collaboration leverages embedded, ecosystem-based financing solutions to help everyday Filipino motorists transition toward sustainable and cost-effective transportation alternatives.
Flexible Loan Terms up to 36 Months
Under the newly established memorandum of agreement, eligible buyers looking to purchase a VinFast e-motorcycle can bypass hefty upfront costs through tailored credit options.
SB Finance x VinFast Loan Highlights
- Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: Up to 100% (Zero Downpayment options available)*
- Flexible Repayment Terms: Extension up to 36 months*
- Application Access: Direct, in-store processing via authorized dealerships
*Subject to standard credit evaluation and documentary requirements.

"Electric mobility is no longer a niche conversation. It is becoming a real market shift," notes Abbie Dans-Casanova, President and CEO of SB Finance. "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."

Driving Green Transformation in Local Transport
The entry into the e-motorcycle segment aligns with broader shifts in Philippine consumer behavior, which are increasingly influenced by environmental awareness and a demand for operational efficiency. VinFast, a globally recognized player in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, views this financing alliance as a core pillar of its aggressive Southeast Asian growth strategy.
Ireneo Fabros, CEO of VinFast E-Motorcycle Philippines, emphasized that the partnership provides consumers with an economically viable path to ditching internal combustion engines in favor of zero-emission alternatives, effectively advancing the country's green transport goals.
Pre-Order Timelines and Official Launch
The complete retail rollout of the financing program is slated to go live in July 2026 through accredited dealerships. Ahead of the consumer launch, VinFast is initiating a strategic B2B timeline for its network:
Dealer Pre-Order Campaign: June 10 to July 18, 2026 (offering authorized dealers early allocation of the incoming e-motorcycle inventory).
