Is Cashola and Cashify the Same? Rebrand Explained

The short answer: same operator, new name

Reports of the rebrand appeared in February 2026 under headlines such as "Cashola rebrands as Cashify." They describe Cashify as the trade name of SunLoan Lending Investors Corporation. The earlier SEC list from November 2021 already showed SunLoan under CS201900565 with the platform name Cashola, and the newer SEC list shows Cashify under the same company.

In plain terms: the app, the company and the registration numbers are the same. Only the brand name and the look changed.

Timeline of the name change

We list only dates that appear in public records or announcements. If you see a different date quoted elsewhere, check it against the SEC list.

What changes for existing borrowers

Borrowers who took a loan under the Cashola name may see:

• A new app name and icon in their store updates. The App Store listing still shows "Cashify (Cashola)" so users can recognize it.
• Payment reminders under the new name. Reminders now come from the Cashify app for loans that started as Cashola loans.
• The same loan agreement. A change of brand does not erase the loan you already signed, so repayment dates and amounts stay as agreed.

If something about your account looks different, ask support to confirm in writing, and keep screenshots. Our page about Cashify customer care contact options explains where to reach them.

We do not publish details about how account data was migrated, because the company has not published them.

Do not confuse Cashify with Cashalo

Cashalo is a different lending platform run by Paloo Financing Inc. It has a different SEC record and a different app. The similar sound of the names causes mix-ups. If someone offers you a "Cashola" or "Cashify" loan from another app, check the developer name and SEC number before you proceed.

Likewise, the Indian company Cashify (which buys and sells electronics) is unrelated to this lender. For more on the company, see who owns Cashify Philippines.

How to confirm you have the official app

1. Search for Cashify in Google Play or the App Store and look at the developer name. It should read SunLoan Lending Investors Corporation (shown in capital letters on the App Store).
2. Open the store description and match the SEC Registration No. CS201900565 and Certificate of Authority No. 2872.
3. Avoid links sent by chat, SMS or social media accounts. Go to the store directly.
4. Avoid downloading installation files from unofficial websites.

Why companies rebrand, and what it means for you

Rebranding is common among lenders. It can reflect a new design, a new strategy or a wish to start fresh with the public. For borrowers, the practical consequence is that old and new information gets split across two names. Reviews, forum posts and complaints about Cashola may not appear in searches for Cashify, and the reverse is also true. When researching, search both names.

That also means you should not judge an app only by the volume of recent comments. Weigh the registration records and the loan disclosure, and read older discussions under the Cashola name. Our independent Cashify loan app review summarises the key facts so you do not need to check each name separately.

What to do if you have an old Cashola loan

• Open the Cashify app and check the status of your loan.
• Confirm the total balance and due date on the repayment screen.
• Save screenshots and payment receipts.
• Pay only through the channels shown inside the app.
• Contact support if the amount differs from your records.

How to search for reviews under both names

Because feedback is split between two brands, a fair check looks at both:

• Search for the old and new names together, for example "Cashola Cashify", and note whether the same concerns repeat or only appear under one name.
• Check the store reviews on the current listing and read the most recent ones first.
• Look for official statements from the company about fees or collection, and compare them with what users describe.
• Treat any claim without a date or a source with caution, because a complaint about an old loan may no longer apply.

We use the same approach in our other pages, such as Cashify Loan App Legit or Not, so that readers can compare like with like.

Spotting messages that misuse the old or new name

A rebrand creates openings for scammers, who may message borrowers claiming to be from "Cashola" or "Cashify" and asking for urgent payment to a personal account. Real reminders come through the app and the channels listed in it. If a message asks you to pay to an unfamiliar number, to install another app, or to send an extra fee to keep your account active, do not pay. Check the amount inside the official app first and contact support through the listed channels.
