Banks focus on selective segments for auto loansListen to this articleAttendees review auto loan products at booths during last year's Money Expo. Banks are adopting mixed strategies for auto loans this year, focusing on selective segments amid weak consumer purchasing power. Tisco Bank, a subsidiary of Tisco Financial Group, targets overall auto loan growth in 2026 of 0–5%, depending on vehicle segments. Tisco, one of the country's leading auto lenders, reported overall auto loan growth of 2.6% in 2025, driven mainly by a 2.7% increase in hire-purchase loans, while loans against auto licences contracted by 0.1%. Amid intensified price competition in the auto loan market, the bank has slowed the expansion of used car loans and shifted its focus to new car loans.
