Industry trends: Fintech changes and risks
Digital lending is growing fast in the Philippines. Many people still do not have bank accounts. Others work in informal jobs. It is hard for them to get loans from big banks.
To fix this, fintech companies use other ways to check if people can repay. They use mobile data, payment patterns, and shopping history.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas says digital loans grew fast after 2020. But inflation and job loss make repayments harder. Fintech firms must offer clear terms and fair rules.
New trends like embedded finance are also rising. These let people borrow inside apps while they shop. Home Credit’s partnerships give it an edge in this space.
