TransUnion Philippines has launched a new credit education initiative in response to a rapidly expanding group of local borrowers, helping them to improve their financial literacy.
The data analytics company aims to deepen understanding of financial reports and promote the responsible use of borrowing information.
According to a company press release, 56% of local consumers plan to apply for new financing this year.
TransUnion Philippines aims to advance credit education through its new Credit Engage initiative.
This programme provides financial institutions with deeper insight into scoring metrics and the key factors that influence them.
The initiative uses an engaging workshop format to strengthen understanding of how financial data is structured and maintained.
It equips lenders with better knowledge of their consumers to empower informed decision-making and enhanced risk management.
The workshops also highlight the importance of collaboration between institutions and consumers to uphold data accuracy.
TransUnion also recognises the importance of making financial education more accessible to the general public.
The e-learning academy platform of the central bank will feature this new module.
The digital programme will explain how scoring works, the factors that influence it and why regular monitoring matters.
TransUnion marks the first reference agency in the country to collaborate with the central bank on this platform.
Peter Faulhaber President and Chief Executive Officer of TransUnion Philippines stated that clear information supports responsible financial behaviour.

“As participation grows, strong credit education becomes even more critical — enabling lenders to make informed, confident decisions and empowering consumers to manage and use credit responsibly. Both elements are essential to ensuring healthy and sustainable economic development,” he said.
Faulhaber emphasized the commitment of the company to providing accessible data driven education for institutions and individuals alike.
