Two hardworking employees found extraordinary fortune when they took out salary advance loans from SB Finance to pay for urgent needs, and life surprised them with a winning raffle ticket worth Php 300,000 and Php 100,000.
Aliza Jane Mendoza, a BPO employee in Manila, had initially taken a loan for an urgent cause—to fund a crucial medical surgery for her friend’s mother, and pay for her own parents’ expenses. But, in a twist of fate, her kindness was repaid when she won the grand prize of PHP 300,000 cash from SB Finance’s eSalad Grand Pasko-Rrific Treat.
Her story is a compelling example of how financial choices made for immediate relief can unexpectedly transform into opportunities for greater financial freedom and security. She shared that when she learned about eSALAD from colleagues, and didn’t expect to win in the raffle when she availed of the loan.
“Sa mga takot mag loan at mag risk [gaya ko], mas maganda na magloan kayo sa mga legit [lending institutions] like SB Finance. Less hassle at less interaction [ang proseso]. Pwede nyo gawin sa text at mabilis lang ang pag credit sa amount na niloan ninyo [sa inyong account]. Less hassle [din sya dahil] auto-deduct ang payment nyo every month,” Mendoza shared.
To those who are afraid of taking out a loan, and afraid of taking a risk like me, it is recommended to loan from legitimate lending institutions like SB Finance. Their process is less hassle, and requires less interaction. You can apply for a loan via text message, and the crediting of your loan amount to your account is fast. It’s also less hassle since it already automatically deducts your payment from your salary every month.
Meanwhile, runner-up raffle winner Albino Cariaga, a team leader at a janitorial services company, used his eSALAD loan as a partial payment for a property. Winning PHP 100,000 from SB Finance’s eSalad Grand Pasko-Rrific Treat, he sees the cash prize as a much-needed financial boost to achieve his goals.
His story exemplifies how financial tools like loans can lay the foundation for future stability and success when used thoughtfully. It shows how immediate financial solutions can turn into long-term achievements as he shares that he and his wife are starting to build a better future together. Like Aliza, he also encourages others to borrow money from legitimate institutions.
“Sa mga empleyado dyan, pwede kayo mag avail sa SB Finance. Mabilis lang ang proseso kapag kailangan nyo extra budget sa pangangailangan nyo,” Cariaga said.
To employees looking for extra budget for their needs, you can apply for a loan at SB Finance. The process is fast and easy.
Aliza and Albino are just two of eSALAD clients who were able to take advantage of the the Grand Pasko-Rrific Treat campaign that ran in December last year as part of SB Finance’s ongoing efforts to engage and reward clients. Open to employees of accredited companies, the promo automatically entered eSALAD borrowers in an online raffle draw. Other consolation winners across the Philippines have been rewarded with hotel stays.
The employee salary advance (eSALAD) loan from SB Finance is a financial product designed to provide quick and accessible loan services to employees of accredited companies. Serving as an added benefit for employees with Security Bank payroll accounts, it allows borrowers to advance their next salary through a digital and personalized process. It is likewise available to qualified employees of accredited, non-Security Bank payroll institutions—with payments facilitated via salary deduction—making it easier for more people to secure funds for various needs, including sudden and unexpected expenses. Offering loans of up to Php 2 million, this loan service emphasizes convenience and accessibility, being the first in the market to use SMS as a means to avail of a loan—on top of a dedicated web portal for applications and availment—so there is no need to visit any physical outlet.
More than offering access to funds, eSALAD enables employees to build good credit history to support them in obtaining both short-term and long-term financial goals. But if they’re lucky enough, like Aliza and Albino, it may even come with much more benefits than expected.
