Home Credit PH and KServico Team Up to Bring Fast and Easy Motorcycle Financing to Empower More Filipinos on the Road

This partnership marks the beginning of New Rides and New Possibilities, with motorcycle installment deals now available in nearly 180 KServico stores across Metro Manila and Luzon.

A motorcycle is more than simply a means of mobility for many Filipinos; it's a chance to enhance their standard of living.  Motorcycles provide a useful and reasonably priced answer to daily transportation needs, whether they are utilized for job, family obligations, or personal freedom.  However, the difficulty in obtaining funding has prevented many people from achieving that objective.

Now, two trusted names are breaking down that barrier.

The nation's top consumer finance company, Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), has teamed up with KServico, the largest retail network for furniture, appliances, laptops, mobile phones, motorbikes, three-wheelers, and e-bikes.  This collaboration makes it easier and more accessible for Filipinos to buy motorbikes and discover New Rides and New Possibilities by providing quick and simple motorcycle financing to almost 180 KServico locations throughout Metro Manila and Luzon.

Driven by a shared commitment to help more Filipinos achieve their dream of owning a motorcycle, Home Credit and KServico now offer flexible installment plans with just one valid ID and a one-minute approval process, enabling customers to acquire quality, feature-packed motorcycles from top brands in the country.

On May 8, the KServico Cubao branch hosted a signing ceremony to formally establish the collaboration.  Key officials from Home Credit, KServico, and partner motorcycle brands, including Honda, Kawasaki, Kymco, Suzuki, and Yamaha, attended the ceremony, which marked the start of a partnership aimed at expanding motorcycle ownership opportunities and opening up new avenues for Filipinos.

“At Home Credit, we understand that motorcycles are more than just a mode of transportation—they're a means to empower Filipinos, especially those engaged in delivery, ride-hailing, and other gig economy opportunities. However, the upfront cost can be a barrier for many. Through this partnership, we're happy to offer fast and easy motorcycle financing, making it more accessible for Filipinos to own their dream motorcycles. With our installment deals, minimal requirements, and quick approval process, we're enabling more Filipinos to experience the thrill of new rides and the new possibilities that come with them.” ~Sheila Paul, Chief Marketing Officer of HCPH

Building on proven success

This partnership builds on the success of Home Credit’s motorcycle financing pilot launched in 2024 with KServico’s affiliate company, EMCOR Inc. The pilot which ran across 160 EMCOR stores, saw strong customer interest and positive feedback in Visayas and Mindanao. With KServico on board, Home Credit now expands its motorcycle financing program to Metro Manila and Luzon, bringing fast and easy motorcycle financing to a broader market. The initiative aims to cater to more Filipinos who view motorcycle ownership as a gateway to better mobility, increased earning potential, and improved way of life.

“At KServico, we believe that every hardworking Filipino deserves a reliable motorcycle that offers the freedom and convenience they need. Our partnership with Home Credit helps turn that vision into reality for thousands of our customers across Metro Manila and Luzon. We are grateful to Home Credit for making financing more accessible and for sharing our commitment to empower more Filipinos through practical mobility solutions.” ~Grace Balingit, President of KServico

Fast and easy motorcycle installment deals

Through this partnership, owning a motorcycle is now fast and easy for Filipinos. Customers can now choose from a wide range of top-quality motorcycles from trusted brands available at KServico and enjoy flexible installment plans powered by Home Credit. With just one valid ID and a fast approval process that takes as little as one minute, more Filipinos can now take the first step toward owning their dream motorcycle.

Home Credit sales representatives are available at all participating KServico stores to guide customers through every step of the financing process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

 

To make the journey even easier, customers can visit Shoppingmall.ph to locate the nearest KServico branch, check the availability of motorcycle models, and explore financing options.

Through this collaboration, Home Credit and KServico are opening the road to new opportunities and mobility for more Filipinos, bringing the promise of New Rides and New Possibilities #ParaSaLife.

SM Supermalls hosts COMELEC Mall Voting on May 12

Heads up, voters! The countdown to the May 12, 2025 National and Local Elections has begun—and this year, casting your vote just got a whole lot easier.

Whether you’re a busy parent, a working professional, or a senior citizen looking for comfort and ease, the MVP is designed to improve your voting experience—one step (or escalator ride) at a time.

Who Can Vote in the Mall? 

Only voters whose precincts were officially transferred to a mall. This is indicated in the final list from COMELEC.

  Why mall voting works

  
  

  The goal? A smoother, more inclusive voting experience—especially for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), senior citizens, and pregnant voters. Think ramps, elevators, comfortable seating, and spacious voting areas—all in a familiar and accessible setting.
  
  

  “We believe democracy should be inclusive, convenient, and secure. By offering our malls as voting venues, we’re not just making it easier to vote—we’re helping empower every Filipino to make their voice heard.” ~Junias Eusebio, Vice President for Mall Operations at SM Supermalls

  
  
  Democracy meets convenience

  
  

  This isn’t SM’s first time teaming up with government agencies. Through the SM Government Service Express (GSE), select SM malls already offer one-stop access to services like ID processing, permits, and more. The MVP is yet another way SM Supermalls is stepping up to serve the public in meaningful ways.

  
  

  
  

  Plan ahead

  
  

  Eligible for mall voting? Expect an official advisory from COMELEC about your assigned voting venue. Then, on May 12, head to your designated SM mall, bring a valid ID, and vote with ease.

  
  

  Let’s all do our part—vote smart, vote safe, and vote comfortably.

How SM Prime continues to create meaningful change for cleaner seas and oceans

The quest for cleaner seas and oceans demands unwavering commitment, consistent action, and genuine care for our shared planet. In the Philippines, SM Prime has emerged as an influential champion in this global movement, embracing environmental stewardship not just as a responsibility but also as a core aspect of its corporate identity. 

As an active participant in the global movement for cleaner seas, SM Prime is committed to protecting the environment and inspiring Filipinos to live sustainably.

SM’s enduring dedication, in line with its Net Zero 2040 initiative to reduce emissions, goes beyond merely protecting coastal ecosystems--it also inspires Filipinos across communities to adopt sustainable lifestyles, transforming collective awareness into actionable impact.

And this dedication continues to translate into tangible, meaningful results. In 2024 alone, SM’s mall cleanup initiatives successfully collected and diverted a total of 157,425 kilograms of trash from ending up in our seas, oceans, and other bodies of water, significantly reducing its impact on marine biodiversity and helping preserve our planet’s marine ecosystems.

Understanding the intricate relationship between waste and climate change, SM has been helping to address the solid waste crisis not only because it pollutes our waters but also because it contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Landfills filled with organic and plastic waste emit methane, a potent GHG far more destructive than carbon dioxide in accelerating climate change. Through proactive cleanup activities and robust waste management initiatives, SM addresses this issue head-on, significantly reducing environmental harm while mitigating its impact on the global climate.

SM’s continued success in its advocacy stems from the collective strength and cooperation of its diverse business units. This synergy allows the organization to extend its cleanup initiatives from coastal areas to smaller but equally vital water channels like rivers and esteros. By mobilizing hundreds of dedicated employees and thousands of enthusiastic volunteers, SM ensures that its efforts are extensive, impactful, and enduring.

Collaboration lies at the heart of SM’s environmental initiatives. Recognizing that achieving cleaner oceans requires collective action, SM consistently partners with government agencies, local governments, and international organizations. Frequent collaborators include the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), various local government units (LGUs), and global groups such as Ocean Conservancy, particularly for the annual International Coastal Cleanup (ICC).

ICC 2024 represented a significant milestone for SM’s participation in the initiative, celebrating its 10th consecutive year of engagement while also being its largest to date, activating 15 SM malls nationwide and drawing an extraordinary turnout of 23,320 passionate volunteers. This record-breaking participation highlights SM’s growing influence and underscores the expanding public enthusiasm for protecting our oceans.

Committed to maintaining this momentum, SM continues to sustain its cleanup efforts through consistent engagement. At SM By the Bay, regular monthly cleanup activities have been ongoing since January 2025, demonstrating SM’s commitment to lasting environmental care.

“Everyone has a role to play in achieving a cleaner, healthier planet. For us at SM, we always encourage Filipinos to be active participants in environmental preservation by joining our cleanup activities, segregating waste responsibly at home, and supporting the SM Waste Free Future campaign through our Recyclable, Disposable, and Compostable (RDC) bins found in our malls.” ~Steven Tan, SM Supermalls President

Looking ahead, SM invites the community to participate in its upcoming significant cleanup drives: on June 7, celebrating World Oceans Day and Philippine Environment Month; on September 20, observing International Coastal Cleanup Day; and on November 24, empowering youth participation in the National Day for Youth in Climate Action.

SM Job Fairs draw thousands nationwide in Labor Day activation
