SMEs are the backbone of the Philippine economy, contributing over 60 percent of total employment and at least 40 percent of the country’s GDP. Yet, for many Filipino entrepreneurs, securing fast and competitive financing remains a significant challenge.

This automation accelerates loan decisions and enhances accuracy, ensuring that businesses can access the funds they need with greater efficiency and transparency.

“Our goal at Kredit Hero is to drive efficiency and transparency in the credit market by providing business owners with easy access to credible lenders while also equipping them with the knowledge to make informed decisions about credit products that will truly impact their business,” said Scott Moore, founder of Kredit Hero.
