UNO Digital Bank’s Winning Initiative: #UNOeasy
UNO Digital Bank’s win centers on #UNOeasy, a digital lending platform built to deliver instant, intelligent, and inclusive access to credit.
Built to deliver instant, intelligent, and inclusive access to credit, #UNOeasy uses a powerful decision engine that combines alternative credit scoring, automation, and behavioral analytics. This allows for loan approvals even for first-time borrowers with no prior credit history—often in just five minutes.
In a country where nearly half of adults remain unbanked, this innovation helps close the financial gap. Each month, around 6,000 loan applications are processed through #UNOeasy, with 40% of approved loans going to first-time borrowers—proof of its inclusivity and impact.
Automation has also shortened the average processing time from application to disbursal to under 10 minutes, redefining speed and convenience in digital lending.
“This initiative is part of UNO’s mission to provide full-spectrum banking services in a fully digital, paperless environment—prioritising ease, speed, and inclusivity for every Filipino.”
— Manish Bhai, CEO and Co-Founder, UNO Digital Bank
