The price of goods and services in 2022 is in an all time high. The minimum jeepney fare is now 11 pesos, not to mention the price increases in basic necessities.

With the higher cost of living, there are inevitable times when we might be 'short' on money. 

Thanks to technology, digital wallets and online finance/banking apps have made our lives much easier. Now, we can send and receive money with a few taps on your smartphone. 

Getting a loan is also faster and more convenient. Whether you need a payday loan, gadget loan, or a quick cash loan for an unexpected need, there are now many options. Digital wallets and financial apps give us the option to borrow money with reasonable payment terms.

Here are a few options on digital services where you can apply for a loan. Most of us are already using these apps such as GCash, Maya, and Shopee.

However, loan responsibly. Read the terms, conditions, and payment options. Make sure to pay on time to avoid late fees. 

Please note that some of these loan services are usually available for selected users only. Some also require valid IDs which you can submit online through the apps.
