As part of the company’s commitment to empowering more Filipinos, the country’s leading consumer finance company Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), through its Iloilo District Sales Office, kicked off its national community-based Financial Literacy program, Wais sa Home, last October 6 to 8, 2022, in Iloilo City.

Wais sa Home is the flagship financial literacy program of Home Credit Philippines that aims to drive financial inclusion and raise financial literacy awareness among Filipinos. Through various FL programs and activities, this initiative aims to educate communities on the basics of budgeting and saving, how to use digital tools to manage finances, and how to protect oneself from fraud and scams.

“As a trusted ally of Filipinos, we at Home Credit are committed not only to providing them assistance with their financial needs but also helping them choose sound decisions in managing their hard-earned money and keeping their overall financial health. Through Wais sa Home, we at Home Credit are one with the government and our regulators in promoting and creating a financially inclusive Philippines,” said Ken Lerona, HCPH’s Head of PR.
