Heeding BSP’s call for financial inclusion, Tala said it aims to help unbanked Filipinos use, protect and grow their money by making it easier to apply for loans directly from their smartphones. It now offers loan applications through the app allowing them to build their digital credit history, increasing their loan limits over time.

“Over 5.2 billion Filipinos own cell phones and over 4.6 billion are connected to the Internet and yet only 12% of cell phone owners use their devices for financial transactions,” said Angelo Madrid, Managing Director of Tala PH. “We believe everyone needs access to financial systems and control their money. By making loans simpler and more accessible, we can promote financial agency and empower more Filipinos.
