Financial technology company Tala is holding financial education workshops called TALAkayan hosted by money expert Salve Duplito to provide participants with money management skills and other tools to help them take control of their finances and achieve their financial goals.
Tala provides customers with flexible, convenient, online credit to help support the unbanked and underserved population. It has given more than 40 million loans totaling more than $4 billion to more than 8 million people across three different continents.
For the 13th edition of TALAkayan, Tala will mount an exhibit alongside the learning session in cooperation with Iskaparate, a platform that helps put micro-entrepreneurs in the digital space.
This will feature 16 homegrown entrepreneurs who will showcase their products ranging from crocheted items and clay creations to baked boneless bangus and bagoong. The exhibit is open to all who are looking to support local brands and enterprises.
The exhibit will be held on July 13 at the Level 1 of Activity Center at Trinoma in Quezon City from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The workshop will start at 2 p.m.
Some 1,105 participants have joined TALAkayan workshops in various parts of Metro Manila. Many of them people are entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs who were equipped with useful financial techniques like creating a net income statement.
