CIBI Information Inc. (CIBI) has been recognized among Asia’s Most Influential Companies at the ACES Awards 2026. This award highlights its evolution from the Philippines’ first credit bureau into a broader data and intelligence partner that supports trusted decision-making across lending, employment, identity verification, and fraud prevention.

For more than four decades, CIBI has evolved alongside the changing needs of financial institutions and Filipinos. As digital financing becomes more interconnected, challenges have also grown more complex where credit risk can now overlap with concerns around identity, fraud, and business verification. In response, CIBI has expanded its capabilities to help address these emerging needs.

“The challenge today is no longer gaining access to information. Institutions need to understand what the data is telling them and how they can use this to respond to risks. ” said Pia Arellano, President and CEO of CIBI. “For us, trusted data becomes even more valuable when it’s used to help institutions act with greater confidence and create better outcomes for the people we all serve.” 

As an accredited Special Assessing Entity (SAE) of the Credit Information Corporation (CIC), CIBI combines credit information with alternative data and scoring solutions to help financial institutions get a broader view of potential borrowers.
