The future of young Filipinos is presently a game of odds. Due to their risky situation and lack of collateral, young but high potential dreamers are considered unbankable by formal financial institutions. There are presently 18 million learners in the Philippines who don’t have access to bank credit. InvestEd exists to change this unfair reality.
InvestEd is the leading company in the region solving financial inclusion for unbanked youth. It is led by Carmina Bayombong who sought to help the next generation of young dreamers succeed in a fast-changing world.
InvestEd empowers under-resourced youth in their journey from education to adulthood by providing them with success essentials. By 2025, we aim to enable the success of millions of students who are poor in resources but rich in ambition.
“What makes InvestEd different and sustainable is the way it empowers students, not just in finishing their degrees, but in pursuing relevant careers. More importantly, it also inspires them to pay it forward by helping others.”
“Schools have a duty to provide quality education to their students, and make sure they graduate. InvestEd helps keep their students in school by providing students with an alternative source of funding so that they can concentrate on their studies.”
“InvestEd is tackling a critical pain point for our educational system. Providing our youth with financial access to a solid education will ensure our country’s long term development, and their innovative underwriting, collections, product development and interactive coaching techniques reduces the perceived risks in student loans. I certainly want to be a part of this journey with them”
