Beyond providing credit access, we offer expert financial guidance and tools, backed by a dedicated team of over 1,300 professional mentors who volunteer from across Israel. In collaboration with government ministries, Ogen spearheads initiatives that empower underserved populations to achieve sustainable financial health, homeownership, business and organizational growth, and break free from the cycle of debt.
