As the company celebrates its decade-long service in the country this October, Home Credit continues to progressively expand its operations and provide customers with a complete ecosystem of products and service offerings suited to their individual needs and lifestyles.

More than delivering innovative and accessible financial services, we celebrate the relationships we have built with our stakeholders and customers over the past decade, and this we choose to continue above and beyond,” shares Home Credit Philippines’ Chief Executive Officer, David Minol.

As a leading consumer finance provider, pioneering buy now, pay later (BNPL) services in the country, Home Credit has grown its local roots in the past decade and developed a much deeper understanding of the local market.
