MANILA, PHILIPPINES — April 21, 2026 — As the Philippine franchising sector experiences a historic surge, Netbank, the Philippines’ leading BaaS (Banking-as-a-Service) platform, today announced its high-profile participation in Franchise Asia Philippines (FAP) 2026. Representing the bank at the SMX Convention Center are Alyssa Ollado and Nanette Garcia, who are set to showcase Netbank’s specialized financial solutions designed to scale MSMEs and franchise networks.
This year’s event, themed “Franchising Together: ASEAN to the World,” underscores the critical role of financial technology in regional expansion. With over 1,000 brands and 50,000 visitors expected between April 24 and 26, Netbank’s presence aims to bridge the gap between ambitious franchisors and the capital they need to grow.
Strategic Leadership on the Ground
Netbank’s delegation, led by Ollado and Garcia, will focus on how digital-first banking can streamline operations for both franchisors and individual franchisees. They will be engaging with prospective partners to discuss Netbank’s white-labeled banking solutions. These tools allow franchise brands to offer branded accounts and payment services directly to their network, enhancing loyalty and operational transparency.
Driving the “Franchising Together” Spirit
“Franchising is the backbone of the Filipino entrepreneurial spirit,” said a Netbank representative. “By having Alyssa and Nanette at FAP 2026, we are reinforcing our commitment to provide the ‘plumbing’—the essential financial infrastructure—that allows these businesses to scale from local concepts to global contenders.”
Netbank’s participation comes at a pivotal time as the Philippine Franchise Association (PFA) celebrates its 30th anniversary. The bank’s suite of services—including automated disbursements, real-time collections, and specialized MSME loans—aligns perfectly with the expo’s “Business Solutions” zone, where tech-forward vendors assist brands in navigating the complexities of the modern market.
