Tala, a financial infrastructure company that leverages data to deliver financial services to customers around the world, announced its 2024 performance at industry event Breaking the Bank Summit in San Francisco, California this week. As of Q1 2025, Tala posted a record global annualized revenue run rate of $300 million or Php16 billion and added half a million customers – an 80% increase compared to Q1 2024.

“Tala has evolved and grown over the last decade. From a company that started with a mission of delivering financial services to customers with limited access to the emerging digital economy, we have built a vertically integrated financial services platform powered by a large moat of proprietary data and scaled AI infrastructure,” said CEO & founder Shivani Siroya at the event. “2024 was a pivotal year for Tala as we leveraged AI to rapidly replicate our infrastructure across diverse markets, diverse customer bases, and new products to make financial products more valuable to our customers, and we see the momentum driving us to new heights in the first quarter of 2025.”

Tala is positive that financial services, such as credit, can be part of the financial journeys of Filipinos as it continues its mission to unlock the economic power of the Global Majority.
