Here’s Why The My Home Credit App Is Your Next Financial BFF

The era of smartphones and mobile apps has made the world so much smaller and accessible to all of us. With just a swipe of our finger, we can now have a hot meal delivered to our home, shop without having to brave long queues at the mall, and even have someone do the groceries for us. Nowadays, money is not the only thing that makes the world go round, technology does too. So what happens when you mix both? 



Home Credit Philippines’ My Home Credit App is an example of one good thing you get when you marry the two. The app, which has been installed in 1.5 million smartphone users, is the digital gateway to the consumer financing provider’s products and services. 

Having built itself as a market leader in the industry by providing installment loans to those who used to have no access to it, HCPH is now digitizing their products and services—with their mobile app at the heart of it. Check out the list below to know all the cool features of the app. 

1. Get payment reminders, loan updates, and check payment history. 

Tracking due dates can be a little challenging so the My Home Credit App made it easier by sending notifications for payments. Customers are reminded of their payment dates a few days before they are due and they also get notifications during the day itself in case they missed it. Loan details such as the remaining balance and payment history are also available via the app’s interface. It’s like having a personal loan manager on your mobile. 


2. Chat with an agent. 

Get instant access to a Home Credit agent via the app through the live chat feature. Those who have downloaded the app no longer need to make long phone calls or wait for an email reply with this function that instantly connects them to Home Credit. 


3. Get access to additional products. 

Eligible existing customers have the option to apply for an additional cash loan or credit card on top of their existing loans through the My Home Credit Mobile App. For the cash loan, the customer only needs to click the Apply Now button, fill up their details, and wait for the result of their application. Once approved, they can easily pick up their cash from any Home Credit partner store in two business days. Customers who are eligible for a credit card, on the other hand, will be automatically directed to the customer service hotline to apply. 


4. Apply for app-exclusive products. 

A cash loan without any lengthy papers and dozens of documents? Eligible new customers can have access to this by applying to the app-exclusive cash loan of Home Credit. The process is as simple as it gets. Customers only need to hit the Apply Now button, key in the promo code needed to unlock the loan offer, and provide their loan preference and personal details. Pre-approved customers will be notified of the results of their application within one hour* and be asked to visit the nearest Home Credit partner store to verify their identity with a sales associate. 


5. Apply for auto-debit payments

Keeping track and making payments can be a hassle for some, so the My Home Credit App gives customers the option to set auto-debit payments for their loans. The mobile app user only needs to provide their bank account details to allow automatic deduction from their account and skip going to payment centers. 





Excited to try the mobile app? You can download the My Home Credit app at the Play Store now. You can also visit our website at https://www.homecredit.ph/ or follow our Facebook page at https://web.facebook.com/homecreditph/ to know more about it. 

*applications after 9PM will be processed the next day.

Washing Machine 101: How to select the right washing machine

Whether you’re purchasing your first appliance or just upgrading to a new one, Electrolux breaks down what you need to consider when selecting awashing machine that will fit you and your family’s needs!



Choosing a washing machine is a big investment and for many, it’s not easy to know which is the right one. When you’re faced with daunting array of washing machines with different features and designs, how do you find the appliancethat suits your laundry needs? 

To help in your selection, here’s a simple checklist that gives you a run through of the factors to considerwhen buying washing machine.


Family size and washing habits

The size of the washing machine you get can depend on the number of people in your household. For homes with one or two people, a 5kg washing machine could work. Families with 3-4 members can move up to 5-7 kg while those with five people or more, would be better off with a capacity of 8 kg or more. These refer to the weight of the laundry load that a washing machine can comfortably or efficiently clean. For perspective, 1 kg of laundry is equal to 5 shirts, a pair of jeans or two bath towels. 

Be careful not to overload your washing machine as they will consume more water and electricity to clean your clothes. Instead, consider doing smaller loads more frequently and opt for a machine that has an inverter motor for better energy efficiency. 

For better cleaning and caring for clothes versus twin tub models, consider the Electrolux UltimateCare 300 Front Load washing machine. This affordable washing machines comes with Hive Drum design that provides high performance cleaning through its gentle tumbling action while reducing wear and tear of clothes 


Front Load or Twin Tub? ​


Another crucial factor to consider is which type of washing machine to get. Among the common types of washing machines are front load washing machines, which open at the front, and twin tubs, which have two tubs to wash clothes – the one typically on the left is where clothes can wash, rinse or soak while the one on the right is used to spin moisture out of your clothes for less time drying on the line. To decide which one you want to buy, let’s take a closer look at their cleaning performance and other factors like water and energy efficiency. 

Cleaning Performance and Operation

When it comes to cleaning performance, front loadwashing machines give clothes a more thorough cleanand are gentler on clothes than twin tubs. Front loadcleans clothes using a gentle tumbling action, using gravity to pick up clothes to lightly drop them in the water. This is different from twin tub models, which use pulsators to rotate clothes, allowing water and detergent to go through fabrics to remove dirt quickly but may result in tangling and early wear and tear. Given this, it’s better to rely on front load for washing delicate fabrics.

Using a twin tub is also more labor intensive vs. a front load washing machine – given their design of having one tub for washing and another to spin dry, you have to manually move clothes from one tub to another. Many twin tubs require you to manually fill it and drain it with water, usually by connecting it to a hose, while front load washing machines are connected to your water supply and draws water automatically.


The Electrolux UltimateCare500 makes laundry effortless with its Vapour Care Technology that softens clothes for less wrinkles and ironing and removes 99.9% of allergens and germs. 


Eco-friendly and Energy-efficient

Both washing machines are water efficient. Front loadwashing machines use less water as they don’t need clothes to be fully submerged in water for effective washing – instead, clothes are washed by repeatedly picking them up and dropping them into the wash water. Meanwhile, twin tubs allows you to control your water usage and recycle your wash water, for re-use in another cycle or to water your garden. 

Front load washing machines are also energy-efficientas it uses inverter technology in its motors, whichconsumes power depending on the load of the machine.


Size and Space

Deciding on what machine to get also depends on theavailable space in your home. Twin tub washing machine usually takes up more space vs. a front load washing machine, which works as a single unit as a compact washer dryer or a stackable separate washer and dryer. So, if you have limited space, a front load washing machine may work better for you. 

Cost

When it comes to price, twin tub washing machines are usually less expensive. While front load washing machines may cost more upfront, it also gives clothes more quality clean with features that are specifically designed for different types of fabrics and are more energy and water efficient so you may end up saving on the long run. 

If you are looking to buy a washing machine, consider the latest Electrolux UltimateCare Front load washingmachines, designed not only to clean but care for your clothes. 

For better cleaning and caring for clothes, consider the Electrolux UltimateCare 300 Front load washing machine. This affordable washing machine comes with a Hive Drum design that provides high performance cleaning through its gentle tumblingaction while reducing wear and tear of clothes. For people on the go, it also has Time Efficient Wash Programmes - a quick 20 wash cycle for everyday fabrics and a Daily 60 cycle for larger loads, plus an Add Clothes function which lets you add forgotten clothes up to 15 minutes after the start of a wash cycle. 

Achieve effortless elegance with less ironing with theElectrolux UltimateCare 500 washing machine. It comes with Vapour Care Technology that softens fabric while reducing wrinkles by 22%, helping you achieve effortless elegance with minimum ironing. The same technology also eradicates 99.9% of allergens and germs, and it also comes with the Add Clothes function and inverter technology for that provides maximum power with minimum energy consumption.
