Kredit Hero, the country’s first AI credit marketplace for SMEs, has officially partnered with Discovery Capital Finance Corporation, one of the fastest-growing financing institutions in the Philippines. The partnership was formalized through a signing ceremony held on November 5, marking a significant milestone in both companies’ mission to make business financing more accessible, efficient, and transparent.
Empowering SMEs Through Smart Financing
The collaboration between Kredit Hero and Discovery Capital Finance Corp. aims to unlock greater access to funding for Filipino small and medium enterprises (SMEs). With DCFC’s flexible, transparent, and client-centered approach to financing, and Kredit Hero’s intelligent loan origination technology, the partnership strengthens the financing ecosystem available to entrepreneurs in the country.
Discovery Capital Finance Corp. has established a strong presence across the Philippines, with six offices strategically located in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, and continues to expand in the coming years. Through this partnership, adding DCFC to Kredit Hero’s growing network of partner lenders gives SMEs greater access to reputable financing institutions while enabling DCFC to reach and support more entrepreneurs nationwide.
Through Kredit Hero’s AI credit marketplace, SMEs can submit a single loan application and get matched with multiple lenders in minutes. With DCFC now part of the ecosystem, business owners gain a wider reach to financing options suited to their needs, significantly improving their chances of approval and access to growth capital.
Powering Growth Through Collaboration
“Partnering with DCFC adds more trusted lenders to our platform, giving SMEs greater access to financing that fits their needs,” said Scott Moore, Co-founder and CEO of Kredit Hero. “By expanding our network, we’re helping business owners focus on running and scaling their businesses, and not worrying about how to fund them.”
“Our partnership with Kredit Hero marks a significant step in advancing our mission to broaden financial access and opportunities for Filipinos,” said Diosdado C. Salang, Jr., President and CEO of Discovery Capital Finance Corp. “Through this collaboration, we aim to empower SMEs by providing a seamless, technology-driven process that enables them to secure funds quickly and efficiently.”
Both DCFC and Kredit Hero are recognized as two of the fastest-growing players in the Philippine financing space. Together, they bring a shared commitment to providing flexible, transparent, and technology-enabled financial solutions that empower entrepreneurs to thrive in competitive markets.
Widening Reach for Inclusive Growth
The partnership is poised to make a significant impact, especially in extending financial access to unbanked and underbanked SMEs in the Philippines who have long been underserved by traditional lending institutions.
Through this collaboration, both companies aim to:
- Expand Hybrid Presence: Combine DCFC’s six physical branches with Kredit Hero’s digital platform to reach and support thousands of SMEs nationwide.
- Promote Financial Inclusion: Harness technology to bridge financing gaps and deliver essential capital to entrepreneurs who need it most.
- Enhance Borrower Experience: Streamline the loan process with faster applications, smarter lender matching, and quicker credit decisions.
- Drive Local Economic Growth: Channel much-needed funding into small businesses, fueling job creation and long-term community development.
Building a Smarter Financing Ecosystem
Kredit Hero’s intelligent SME loan origination marketplace uses AI to analyze business financials, assess credit health, and match borrowers with lenders most likely to approve their loan applications. This seamless process reduces the time and effort required to secure financing, helping SMEs focus more on business operations and less on paperwork.
With DCFC joining Kredit Hero’s ecosystem, more Filipino entrepreneurs can now access tailored loan products that align with their financial needs and growth goals through one simple digital application.
