## Overview

PawnHero is the Philippines' first online pawnshop — billed as Southeast Asia's first — offering fast, discreet collateralized cash loans through its website and app. Filipinos pawn items like designer bags, watches, jewelry, gadgets, electronics and cameras, with free pickup in Metro Manila and surrounding areas, online appraisal, and remote loan renewals and redemptions. Interest rates start as low as 3.99% per month — among the lowest in the country — versus traditional pawnshops. Operated by PawnHero Pawnshop Philippines, Inc. (SEC- and BSP-regulated), it uses technology to make pawning convenient, transparent and hassle-free.
