Consumer advisory

Cashcat is a loan matching service. This site will submit the information you provide to a direct lender. Upon application approval, a direct lender will require further information from you which will be collected after we transfer you to their website or they may contact you via phone or email.

We only work with direct lenders approved and certified by the financial regulator (sec.gov.ph). Always check if the lending company is authorised by SEC to operate as a Lending Operator — see the SEC list of lending companies with a Certificate of Authority. Our partners always have physical offices in the Philippines.

Cashcat advertises loan offers of companies with the following certificates (but not limited to mentioned below):

  • Certificate of Authority No. 1181
  • Certificate of Authority No. 1254
  • Certificate of Authority No. 1150

Warning

Late or missed loan payments may be subject to increased fees and interest rates and can cause you serious money problems. Lenders may use collection services for non-payment of loans.

Representative example

Loan amount
₱20,000
Term
6 months
Monthly payment
₱5,000
Cost per month
₱1,667
APR
143%

You apply for PHP 20,000 and choose comfortable repayment over 6 months: your monthly payment will be PHP 5,000, so the cost of the loan will be PHP 1,667 per month (APR = 143%). Refer to the Terms & Conditions of a Lending Operator to understand the full product details.

Associated fees

Loan terms, conditions and policies vary by lender and applicant qualifications. Not all applicants will be approved for their requested loan amounts or advertised interest rates. Loan repayment periods vary by lender and applicant qualifications also.

General requirements

Loans available to over-18s only, subject to status. Not all borrowers will qualify for a loan. The operator of this website does not engage in any direct consumer lending — we simply provide a FREE loan matching service to the public. To operate this service we receive a commission from the lender we refer you to.

  • Cashcat will not perform a credit check, lenders will complete a soft search when assessing your eligibility for a loan. If you accept a lender’s loan offer, they will perform a hard credit search.
  • All applications will be subject to credit checks and affordability assessments in line with responsible lending.
  • Once approved, your cash could be in your account in minutes. The time that it takes for the cash to be received in your account will depend on your bank’s policies and procedures.
  • There are different companies on the market and some websites are operated by bad actors. Beware of scams! Cashcat services are FREE. Never our employees or anyone associated with Cashcat (HOWPO OÜ) will require you to pay any fees.
