When the company established&nbsp;its presence in the country in 2013, the approval process took&nbsp;20 minutes, a processing time&nbsp;that was further reduced&nbsp;to&nbsp;just 10 minutes in 2016. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Home Credit has reached new heights by providing&nbsp;a remarkably convenient one-minute approval for product loans. This fast service only requires one valid identification card&nbsp;and is&nbsp;available at over 15,000 outlets across more than 75 provinces nationwide. With this efficient service, Filipinos can achieve their desired lifestyle&nbsp;with less hassle and quickly. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>One-stop destination for lifestyle products<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To cater to the changing consumer needs, the company continues to broaden its range of point-of-sale offerings, making sure that Filipinos have access to a comprehensive selection of products. Initially, Home Credit began with just four pilot commodities:&nbsp;televisions, computers and laptops, mobile phones, and home appliances. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;company has since expanded its offerings to encompass an array of commodities, including bikes, musical instruments, furniture, dental care, cosmetic care&nbsp;and optical services. It also caters to&nbsp;sporting goods and hardware tools, and car repair and maintenance. This establishes&nbsp;Home Credit as a one-stop&nbsp;shop&nbsp;for a wide range of lifestyle products, showcasing&nbsp;over 6,000&nbsp;partner brands and retailers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>First non-bank financial institution to issue credit cards&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its effort to deliver world-class consumer finance&nbsp;services to Filipinos, Home Credit&nbsp;has achieved a significant milestone in 2019 by becoming the first standalone non-bank institution approved by the Bangko&nbsp;Sentral ng Pilipinas to issue credit cards in the country. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This achievement allows Filipinos to enjoy secure transactions, to empower their lifestyles. Home Credit Card is widely accepted by VISA-affiliated merchants across the globe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>More innovative solutions, services to empower Filipinos\u2019 lives<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the pandemic happened in 2020, Home Credit swiftly adopted new ways to better serve customers who were increasingly turning to digital means to meet their needs. This was when the company unveiled the My Home Credit App, equipped with various features designed to cater to consumers\u2019 financial needs anytime and anywhere. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this app, consumers can easily apply for product&nbsp;and cash loans from the comforts of their homes. As it is integrated with the website&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/shoppingmall.ph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shoppingmall.ph<\/a>, Filipinos can also effortlessly browse and purchase gadgets and appliances with just a few taps. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the app provides&nbsp;access to Home Credit Qwarta, a virtual credit line, offering users additional&nbsp;financial flexibility. Qualified Home Credit customers&nbsp;can also utilize&nbsp;their Qwarta&nbsp;to purchase&nbsp;loads with discounts, settle bills with&nbsp;over 200 billers, and even make payments for items via QR codes for a hassle-free shopping experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>An advocate of financial literacy<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to providing access to financial services, Home Credit is also committed to advancing financial literacy in the country. In 2016, the company initiated its Juan, Two, Three Financial Literacy Program, designed to impart fundamental financial management knowledge to diverse barangays across the nation. Building on this foundation, Home Credit introduced its Wais sa Home: Financial Literacy and Consumer Protection Program in 2022, which encompassed a multi-faceted approach to promoting financial literacy. This initiative covered different platforms, including online, on-air, and on ground. With this initiative, the company reached 20 million Filipinos nationwide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, Home Credit has witnessed significant growth over the years.
