While financial literacy among Filipino adults rose to 74 percent in 2025 (up from 69 percent in 2021), only 30 percent have enough savings for emergencies, per the latest Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas survey. This highlights a critical gap between knowing financial basics and being financially secure.
To address this, Home Credit Philippines held “Building a Financially Secure Future” workshops for its Metro Manila employees, led by financial experts Fitz Villafuerte and Kimmy Batallones. Timed with International Women’s Month, the activity recognized women’s key role in managing household finances and aimed to help staff build smarter money habits and long-term stability.
Company officials noted the initiative is part of a wider commitment: financial wellness training has already reached over 30 million Filipinos, and the firm prioritizes equipping its own workforce to make sound financial choices—both at work and at home. Employees shared that the sessions inspired them to set clearer goals and pursue growth.
This effort aligns with Home Credit’s mission to promote holistic wellness, alongside community programs like the recent Takbo #ParaSaLife runs. Licensed and supervised by the SEC and BSP, the company continues to push for better financial habits across the country.
