Home Credit PH surpasses 10 million customers, finances close to PHP300 billion worth of credit nationwide

Home Credit Philippines (HCPH) achieved a remarkable milestone as it reached 10 million customers in time for its celebration of a decade of unwavering service.

Since 2013, the leading consumer finance company has granted a total of P295.7 billion (as of Dec 2023) in credit throughout the country through its installments, cash loans and revolving credit products. 

Home Credit’s entry to the country 10 years ago provided a much-needed service for Filipinos who were underserved by traditional financing and were seen to turn to informal and unregulated lending outfits. Starting from mobile phones, and then eventually branching out to laptops and computers, furniture, home appliances, even bikes, sporting goods, home improvement and department store shopping. In recent years, Home Credit added a credit card, as well as virtual limit Qwarta to its portfolio.

Embracing Loud Budgeting as a Love Language this Valentine’s Day

This 2024, a new trend called 'loud budgeting' is gaining popularity, encouraging people to openly discuss their finances without feeling embarrassed. Contrary to the 'quiet luxury' trend of the past year, loud budgeting helps Filipinos be more honest about their financial situation, leading to greater empowerment in managing their money. This Valentine's Day, let's celebrate the love language of financial wellness. 

Regardless if it's Php 299 or 2,999 or 29,999, communication is key to financial wellness.

Last month, Filipino social media exploded with discussions about the ₱299 engagement ring. People were split on whether it was about self-worth or long-term financial plans, and both sides had valid points. There's no right or wrong answer here; it all depends on what matters most to you or your partner. But what can we take away from this in terms of financial wellness as a love language? It's about being honest about one’s money habits.
