Salmon Introduces Salmon Access Card in Partnership with AUB and MatchMove

Manila, Philippines, December 16, 2024 – Salmon, the leading financial services company advancing financial inclusion across Southeast Asia, officially launched its Salmon Access Card today in the Philippines in partnership with Asia United Bank (AUB) and MatchMove.

The Salmon Access Card is a prepaid card linked directly to Salmon Credit, Salmon’s revolving credit facility. The card enables customers to conveniently access their credit line with a physical payment option that can be used both within the Philippines and internationally at any merchant that accepts Mastercard.

The Salmon Access Card is available to new Salmon Credit clients at key SM Store locations in Metro Manila: Mall of Asia, Makati, Megamall, Manila, Fairview, and North Edsa. Approved clients receive the card on the spot and link it to their Salmon app by scanning the QR code.

Raffy Montemayor, Co-Founder of Salmon and Chairman of its licensed bank subsidiary, highlighted the significance of this offering:

“With our Salmon Credit we made an incredibly easy product for customers to use with the help of QR Ph. Yet at times some of customers prefer to have a card with them, for example, when traveling internationally, or making purchases online,” Montemayor explained. “ With Salmon Access Card we give our customers more options, enhancing their shopping experience with greater convenience and flexibility. The Salmon Access Card is also highly secure, as it does not display sensitive information — no name, no expiry date, or CVV — and the card number is masked for added security. These details are available in the Salmon app and can be revealed to customers after passing multi-factor authentication.”

The Salmon Access Card results from the collaboration between Sunprime Finance Inc., AUB, and MatchMove. AUB provides a robust banking infrastructure, while MatchMove powers the card technology that brings the product to life.

This exemplifies our mission to deliver innovative, secure, and user-centric financial solutions. Together with our partners, we're unlocking greater financial freedom, security, and convenience for users while fostering economic inclusion and digital transformation in the region,” said Amar Abrol, president and chief commercial officer of MatchMove.

This launch marks another milestone for Salmon as it continues to innovate and expand its services to meet the evolving needs of Filipino consumers, particularly the underserved. The Salmon Access Card reaffirms Salmon's commitment to providing practical, secure, and inclusive financial solutions for all.
