SEC lifts suspension on Jia Financing, clears firm to resume SME lending

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has lifted the temporary suspension on Jia Financing, allowing the licensed financing company to resume its full range of operations in the Philippines.

In a resolution dated Sept. 9, 2025, the SEC granted Jia’s Motion for Partial Reconsideration and confirmed that the earlier suspension of its Certificate of Authority was administrative in nature and not related to the company’s lending practices or business model.

Jia Financing clarified that it is not an online lending platform (OLP), as some reports previously suggested, but a duly licensed financing company that provides business-focused lending solutions, including invoice financing, receivables financing, purchase order financing, and working capital loans.

“The resolution closes a temporary chapter and gives us clarity to move forward with renewed focus on expanding access to SME financing,” said Jia Financing country head Krizanne Ty.

Ty added that Jia remains committed to working with regulators and will continue to prioritize financial inclusion by providing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with faster access to capital.
