Salmon scales again! The Philippines-based credit-led fintech has just raised $50M in an oversubscribed Nordic bond issue. 

This follows a $60M bond issued in April this year, bringing their total bond financing to $110M under a $150M framework. 

  • Pareto Securities was the only bookrunner and underwriter for the bond issue. 

They have also recently been approved to rename themselves by the Philippine Central Bank. Salmon acquired a local Philippine rural bank that has since been approved to be renamed to “Salmon Bank (Rural Bank)”.

🎣 Full speed ahead
