How to register in the Tala app

Every loan journey with Tala begins with registration. Without it, you cannot apply for loans, check your eligibility, or access the features of the app.

While downloading the app is simple, the registration process is where Tala builds your digital credit profile.

This profile determines not only your approval chances but also your future loan limits.

Registering properly ensures that your account is verified, secure, and ready for fast approvals.

For many first-time users, it may seem overwhelming—but the process is straightforward when broken down into clear steps.

📲 Preparing Before Registration

Before opening the Tala app for the first time, make sure you have the following ready:

• A valid government-issued ID (UMID, Driver’s License, Passport, or PhilSys)
• A smartphone with internet access
• An active mobile number and email address
• Access to a GCash, Paymaya, or bank account for loan disbursement and repayment

Having these in hand avoids delays and makes the registration smoother.

✅How to Register in the Tala App

Here’s a detailed walkthrough for first-time users:

Step 1: Download the App

Go to the Google Play Store and search for Tala Philippines. Install the app published by Tala Financing Philippines Inc. to ensure it is the official version.

Step 2: Open and Start Registration

After installation, open the app. Tap on “Register” and provide your full name, mobile number, and email address.

Step 3: Verify Your Number

You’ll receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on your registered mobile number. Enter the code to confirm ownership of your number.

Step 4: Provide Personal Information

Fill in details such as date of birth, gender, and address. Consistency matters—make sure your details match your valid ID.

Step 5: Upload a Valid ID

Take a clear photo of your government-issued ID. The system may also ask for a selfie for verification, ensuring that the ID belongs to you.

Once your ID and details are accepted, the app will generate your digital credit profile. This profile is essential for loan evaluation.

Step 7: Finish and Explore

After registration, your account is ready. You can now check available loan offers and begin using Tala’s services.
