Strengthening Trust through Transparency: Happycash’s Ongoing Collaboration with CIC for Credit Reporting Compliance

In today’s fast-evolving digital lending landscape, transparency and accountability are more critical than ever. At Happycash, we believe that sustainable financial inclusion must be built on a foundation of trust and regulatory compliance. That’s why we are proud to highlight our ongoing and active collaboration with the Credit Information Corporation (CIC)—the Philippines’ central credit registry. As both a submitting entity and an accessing entity with the CIC, Happycash play a dual role in strengthening the credit information ecosystem.

Since our inception, Happycash has consistently reported loan data to CIC in accordance with established guidelines. This partnership reflects our commitment to building a responsible lending ecosystem that protects both borrowers and lenders. By sharing accurate and timely credit data, we help create a more robust financial infrastructure that empowers users while reducing systemic risks. As an accessing entity, we also leverage the CIC database to gain deeper insights into borrower creditworthiness, promoting responsible lending decisions and risk mitigation.
