MANILA, PHILIPPINES, 19 MAY 2025

Ninja Van Philippines, one of the country’s leading tech-enabled logistics companies, has officially partnered with Security Bank to support the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through a two-way referral program. The initiative allows Ninja Van to refer high-potential shippers to Security Bank for business banking offerings, while Security Bank can direct its clients to Ninja Van for end-to-end logistics solutions.

Referred Ninja Van shippers can get access to financing options such as Security Bank’s Business Express Loan for operational needs, the Business Mortgage Loan for property acquisition or expansion, and the Business Working Capital line for short-term, revolving credit. These loan products are designed for growing businesses, offering competitive rates, flexible terms, and a simplified application process. Ninja Van shippers can also explore Security Bank business deposit products, business insurance, payment solutions, and more by booking an appointment with dedicated Security Bank client engagement officers.

In parallel, Security Bank’s MSME clients in need of logistics support will be referred to Ninja Van’s tailored services, including Ninja Dash for last-mile delivery of e-commerce parcels and bulky packages, Ninja Fulfillment for cost-effective warehousing and streamlined end-to-end distribution, and Ninja Restock for frequent inventory restocking and direct-to-store delivery.

“We’ve seen firsthand how access to capital and logistics can make or break a business,” said Sabina Lopez-Vergara, Chief Commercial Officer of Ninja Van Philippines. “Beyond cross-referrals, this partnership aims to solve two major pain points for MSMEs. Financial institutions help businesses pay for crucial needs such as logistics, and logistics help those businesses reach more customers. We want to help more small brands evolve into national players and we’re excited to do that alongside a bank that shares our mission.”

Security Bank welcomed the partnership, citing a mutual focus on enabling MSME growth through practical solutions. "This partnership marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional value to MSMEs. Together with Ninja Van, we’ll ensure MSMEs have access to seamless logistics services, enabling them to focus on what they do best—growing their businesses." said John David Yap, Senior Vice President and Business Banking Segment Head of Security Bank. 

Both companies see this as a long-term collaboration that supports the MSME sector and strengthens the broader business ecosystem in the country.
