The fintech is evolving from a consumer loans provider in the Philippines into an international multi-product financial ecosystem
MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 September 2026 - Skyro, a fast-growing digital finance platform, today began rolling out its refreshed visual identity, launching first with a redesigned app in the Philippines ahead of a wider rollout across all markets, advertising and partner touchpoints in the coming weeks. The rebrand marks Skyro's shift from a consumer loans provider into an international multi-product financial ecosystem.
Launched in the Philippines in 2022, Skyro has grown to more than 7 million users, built a current credit portfolio of more than $200 million, and reached operating break-even in the first half of 2026. The company now aims to scale this success by entering new markets and expanding into new financial products. In August, Skyro announced plans to expand into Saudi Arabia. The Philippines, Skyro's most mature market, will be the first to introduce the new brand identity. The Skyro Philippines app will launch in its new design on September 15, followed by a wider rollout across markets and partners. The rebrand reflects the company's aspiration to be a part of customers' lives, following their natural rhythms and helping them grow consistently.
Arsen Liametov, Skyro Сo-founder and Co-CEO said:
"The rebrand reflects the strategy and ambition behind Skyro's next chapter. We want to move beyond one-off lending and become an everyday financial partner, offering a broader set of products that support people and small businesses through different moments in their lives. Our ambition is for Skyro to fit more naturally into those moments, building lasting relationships with customers as their needs evolve. The new identity reflects that direction and gives us a platform to build on what we have proven in the Philippines as we enter new markets."
As a financial ecosystem, Skyro aspires to be a part of customers' lives, following their natural rhythms and helping them grow consistently. The new design system, along with new brand tagline, "Naturally, yours," embody the idea that finance should be built around people's lives: seasons, local holidays and other recurring cycles structure how people live and spend. The central mark of visual identity draws on the analemma, the figure-eight path traced by celestial bodies across the sky over the course of a year. Echoing the "Sky" in Skyro's name, the shape represents continuity and flexibility, reflecting the company's ambition to become part of customers' everyday financial lives rather than serve individual transactions.
Nasim Aliev, Skyro Сo-founder and Co-CEO said:
"Skyro started with a simple idea: use AI and alternative data to make credit faster and more accessible for people who are often underserved by traditional lending. That model has proven itself, and the business has now grown beyond its original focus. With SkyroCredit already launched, and more B2C and B2B products in development, the business has started to outgrow the old branding.
This rebrand gives that evolution a clear identity and a platform for what we are building next. Whether that's making a purchase, upgrading something at home, getting something you've been wanting, or simply making your next move possible, Skyro becomes the enabler that helps people take action".
Skyro's proprietary AI-driven credit decisioning model uses alternative data and advanced analytics to assess applications, helping the company make fast, responsible credit decisions and serve customers who may be underserved by conventional lenders. Skyro now works with more than 10,000 partner stores and over 3,000 merchants, with SMEs driving over 60% of volume. SkyroCredit, a reusable credit line that works via QR Ph, allows customers to use and repay their available credit repeatedly without reapplying each time. Its launch marked a shift from financing one-off purchases toward building an ongoing financial relationship with customers, giving them more ways to turn to Skyro as their financial needs and priorities evolve over time.
Skyro is seeking to apply the experience developed in the Philippines to new markets across Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2026 – ONYX Hospitality Group, one of Asia Pacific's leading hospitality management companies, has strengthened its commitment to more sustainable hotel operations through a strategic partnership with SP Group (SP), one of the region's leading sustainable energy solutions providers.
ONYX Hospitality Group Strengthens Sustainable Hotel Operations Through Strategic Partnership with SP Group
The collaboration marks a significant milestone in ONYX Hospitality Group's Sustainability Framework and will see both organisations explore the deployment of innovative energy solutions across suitable hotel developments in Thailand, helping reduce carbon emissions, improve operational efficiency and deliver long-term value for hotel owners.
Under a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the partnership will focus on rolling out energy-efficient technologies, including Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) and renewable energy solutions. This marks SP's inaugural partnership with a hospitality brand in Thailand. The initiative aims to optimise energy performance, lower operating costs and reduce environmental impact while maintaining the high standards of comfort and service guests expect.
The agreement builds on SP's successful delivery of ONYX Hospitality Group's first Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) project in Thailand at Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok, a 429-key hotel located just minutes from Don Mueang International Airport. Designed to serve both business and leisure travellers, the hotel offers extensive meetings and events facilities for up to 800 delegates.
The project involves replacing the existing chiller with high-efficiency equipment while integrating it with an advanced chiller plant management system. This system automates control and optimises energy usage, allowing for better resourcing and greater efficiency.
With a cooling capacity of 1,195 refrigeration tonnes (RT), the new system is expected to achieve more than 40 per cent reduction in energy when operational, as compared to previously. This is equivalent to a reduction of 900,000 kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity annually, which translates to around THB 4 million in savings a year. Over the 15-year contract, the hotel will also enjoy savings of approximately THB 25.5 million in operating costs while reducing its carbon emissions by 449 tonnes annually – equivalent to removing over 400 cars from the road.
The CaaS project demonstrates how advanced sustainable technologies can significantly improve operational performance while maintaining guest comfort and reliability.
"At ONYX Hospitality Group, sustainability is an integral part of how we operate and grow our business. As cooling represents one of the largest sources of energy consumption in hotels, improving its efficiency is a meaningful step towards reducing our environmental footprint while maintaining the high standards of comfort our guests expect," said Mr. Somchai Kittikraisak, Vice President, Technical Services, ONYX Hospitality Group.
"Our partnership with SP Group demonstrates how collaboration and innovation can accelerate the adoption of practical sustainability solutions across our portfolio. Beyond improving operational efficiency, this initiative supports our broader ambition to create more responsible hotel operations while delivering long-term value for our owners, guests and communities."
Mr. Benjamin Tay, Chairman, Singapore Power Energy (Thailand) Limited, added: "We are pleased to partner with ONYX Hospitality Group to advance the adoption of energy-efficient, lower-carbon cooling solutions across its properties in Thailand. As businesses increasingly prioritise energy performance, operational efficiency and sustainability, we look forward to leveraging SP Group's expertise and regional experience to support ONYX Hospitality Group in achieving its environmental and operational objectives."
"SP Group's expertise in green cooling solutions was an important consideration for us. As reliable cooling and heating are essential to hotel operations, improving energy efficiency is an important part of our sustainability efforts. This partnership allows us to enhance the efficiency of our operations while maintaining the comfort our guests expect." said Mr. Marck Elmenzo, General Manager, Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok.
Following the successful implementation at Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok, both organisations will continue exploring opportunities to deploy sustainable energy solutions across suitable properties in Thailand.
The collaboration supports ONYX Hospitality Group's Sustainability Framework by accelerating the adoption of innovative technologies that improve operational resilience, reduce environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future for Thailand's hospitality sector.
