What You Need to Know about PAG-IBIG’s Multi-Purpose Loan

You’ll never know what would happen tomorrow, next week, by the end of the month, or three years from now. That is why it is important to prepare for what could possibly happen to make sure you could get back up.

We know. You have responsibilities, tons of expenses to pay, and mouths to feed. In fact, you barely have nothing left every month that you can set aside for savings. In case you need immediate funds, you turn to relatives and friends, hoping that they could lend you some, no matter how small the amount is.

What if they can’t lend you money? In that case, you might want to turn to PAG-IBIG through its Multi-Purpose Loan or MPL. This facility is offered by PAG-IBIG to all its active and qualified members to help augment financial needs.

The best part is you are given two months grace period, which means you will only start paying on the third month from the time of your loan application. For instance, you applied for and was approved on January. Payment will only start on March.

In case you are interested, here’s what you need to know about it:

Multi-Purpose Loan Features:

  • Loan Amount: Your desired loan amount OR 80 percent of Total Accumulated Value (TAV), whichever is LOWER. Your capacity to pay will likewise be considered on the approved loan amount to ensure that your net take home pay will not be below the minimum requirements prescribed by the General Appropriations Act (GAA).
  • Interest Rate: 10.5 percent per annum, with the rate equalized over the duration of the loan.
  • Loan Term:  Maximum of 24 months with grace period of two months
  • Loan Renewal: MPL may be renewed after payment of at least six monthly amortizations.
  • Loan Release: Loan proceeds may be credited to your disbursement card, OR bank account through Land Bank, OR check under your name, OR any other legitimate modes of disbursement.
  • Loan Repayment: The MPL will be paid in equal monthly payments, which covers both principal and interest, and to be deducted on your monthly salary. If you contribute voluntarily or an OFW, payment must be done over-the-counter and every 15th of the month starting on the third month. You can check this guide on PAG-IBIG Payment Facilities.
  • Penalty Fee: 1/20 of one percent of the unpaid amount per day.
  • Early termination of MPL is loan with no pre-termination fee.
  • Failure to pay monthly amortization or monthly contributions for three consecutive months constitutes default. As a result, the loan obligation becomes due and demandable.

Purpose/s of MPL:

  • Health and wellness
  • Minor home improvement, upgrades, or renovation
  • Educational expenses
  • Livelihood or additional working capital for business
  • Car repair
  • Special events
  • Purchase of appliances or gadgets
  • Payment of bills
  • Additional funds for vacation or travel
  • Medical

In other words, you can use PAG-IBIG’s Multi-Purpose Loan for whatever purpose it might serve you. If you are thinking of buying a new house or to finance your business, then there is a separate loan facility for that.

Who are eligible to apply for MPL? 

  • Member who has made at least 24 monthly membership savings or MS. If you have withdrawn or stop contributing to PAG-IBIG, then you can still apply for MPL provided that you will pay an equivalent of 24 monthly contributions.
  • Has made at least one month contribution for the last six months prior to the date of the loan application.
  • Has sufficient proof of income.

In case you have existing Housing Loan, MPL, or Calamity Loan, you can still apply for Multi-Purpose Loan provided that the account/s must NOT be in default at the time of the loan application.

How to Apply for PAG-IBIG’s Multi-Purpose Loan:

  1. Fill out the application for Multi-Purpose Loan. You can get a copy at any PAG-IBIG branches or get a copy here.
  2. Submit your loan application to the nearest PAG-IBIG branch.
  3. Submit other documents such as valid government-issued ID and photocopy of payroll account, disbursement card, or bank account for disbursement.
  4. Wait for the PAG-IBIG representative to give you a feedback regarding the status of your loan application.

Are you ready to apply?

Need Cash? You Might Want to Try SSS Salary Loan

Who do you run to when you need cash? Family and friends will always be your first options because:

  1. they can be found easily, which means borrowing money is easy as well;
  2. there is no interest rate imposed; and
  3. you can pay when able (although this shouldn’t always be the case).

Of course, you need to understand that family and friends can’t come to your rescue when you need help. As a result, you turn to banks for personal loan.

Did you know that government agencies like SSS also offers this type of facility to its members? It is called Salary Loan and the main purpose of this cash loan facility is to offer short-term credit needs to ALL its members.

Here’s what you should know about SSS Salary Loan:

  • Interest Rate: 10 percent per annum

  • SSS member-borrower who has not been granted final benefit like retirement, total permanent disability, or death benefits.
  • S/he must not be disqualified due to fraud committed against SSS.

How to Apply for SSS Salary Loan:

If you are employed and you opted for online application, take note that your application form will be directed to your employer’s My.SSS account, which means your employer must also be registered online with SSS.

For OFW Applicants

Home Credit’s Cash Loan: Are You Qualified or Not?

Home Credit is among the popular lenders because of the consumer loans they offer. Even if you are short in cash, you can still buy items like gadgets, household furniture, and hardware, and pay for it in installment basis. Application is easy as well since Home Credit partnered with various stores around Metro Manila and nearby provinces where you can easily find them. This means instead of going to them, they go to you.

Did you know that they offer cash loans as well?

In case you are interested, here’s what we know so far about this facility they offer:

Features

  • Loan Amount: Per Home Credit representative, the amount to be borrowed will depend on the “offer” of the client. The amount may be system-generated as well. This means Home Credit looks into your history with them, including the frequency of borrowings and whether or not payments were made on time and in full. Sadly, they could not provide us with a specific amount that one can borrow.
  • Interest Rate: Not disclosed
  • Payout Option: Depends on your assigned payout channel. You can pick up the loan amount OR through bank deposit. Home Credit will also send instructions on how to claim the cash to the contact details you provided when you registered with Home Credit.
  • Loan Term: Not disclosed
  • Loan Repayment: Monthly installments through Home Credit’s accredited payment channels.
  • Early repayment is allowed as long as it is equivalent to one monthly installment. In case of early full repayment, you must inform Home Credit representatives about your intention to pay in full so they can make necessary adjustment.

Who can apply? 

Unfortunately, Home Credit’s cash loan is not available for everyone. The lender only offers this facility to those who have existing accounts with them. If you are interested in getting a cash loan from Home Credit, we suggest that you apply for their consumer loan first.

In case you are an existing customer, you will get SMS or email notification if you are qualified to avail of cash loan. You can also check your status through the Home Credit app to see if you are eligible for this facility.

If qualified, you will be informed by Home Credit representatives on how to avail of it and where you can get your money.

Unfortunately, Home Credit representatives are wary of sharing more information about their Cash Loan facility. They refused to disclose specific minimum to maximum amount a borrower can borrow as well as the interest rate and loan term UNLESS you are a client; hence the lack of information.

If you are thinking of getting a cash loan from Home Credit, you may call their hotline at (02) 753-5711 or email them at [email protected]

Review: What Customers are Saying about Akulaku

There are days when you need a new phone, laptop, or small appliances because the old one (that’s been with you for years) broke down. Apparently, you don’t have enough funds to get yourself a new one.

What do you do?

Borrowing money from family might be your first choice, but what if even your family cannot lend you some? Getting a personal loan from banks is out of the question as well because of the requirements needed. In that case, you turn to online cash lenders like Akulaku. 

Is it worth it? Is it legitimate? How about the processing and payment? Don’t worry. These questions will be answered based on the reviews shared by Akulaku customers.

On Loan Application

Applying for a loan is easy. Simply download the Akulaku app, which is available in both Apple and Android devices, create an account to register, and apply for a credit limit. Most Akulaku customers are in unison in saying that applying for a loan is easy since all they needed was their smartphone. The requirements are easy to comply with as well, although some say they weren’t able to push through with their application because they don’t have government-issued ID.

On the other hand, there are customers who are not happy when it comes to their credit limit. One of the customers interviewed said that she’s been a loyal customer of Akulaku but was not granted an increase despite using the app repeatedly and paying on time and in full. When she asked for an increase, Akulaku wasn’t that helpful, saying that the credit limit was system-generated.

On Delivery of Items Ordered

Aside from cash loan, Akulaku also offers sale of items, which will be paid on installment basis. Most customers say that it took a while for Akulaku to deliver the items they ordered. Although the delivery time is three to five days, some didn’t get their items until on the seventh day from the time they applied  or even longer. Some were even complaining that they are due to pay their loan on this particular day but haven’t received the item they ordered.

On Loan Repayment 

Despite being new in the market, Akulaku is commendable for its variety of loan repayment options such as GCash, DragonPay, ECPay, or over-the-counter payments in banks like PNB. Payment can also be done online, which is a big plus for customers.

Unfortunately, payment made will not reflect on Akulaku system immediately. Some customers said that they have to repeatedly send proof of payment because they were being charged for late payment fee despite paying in full and on time.

On Customer Service

This was one of the common complaints of Akulaku users. Despite the ease in applying for a loan and a lot of potential, most of them say that they need to improve on their customer service. Akulaku representatives don’t often reply in messages sent on Facebook despite repeated messages made by customers.

They do hope that Akulaku will improve on their customer service, especially the Chat Support so they could address their customers faster, more effectively, and not just give them a generic reply when raising their concerns.

Given this feedback from customers, do you want to give Akulaku a try?

Review: Find Out What People are Saying about Cashalo

Fact: there are many online cash lenders available in the market. Tala Philippines, Moola Lending, and Loan Ranger may be dominating the market, but there is a newcomer these days and people are also raving about it.

Who is this newcomer? It’s Cashalo.

Is it safe? Is it worth applying for? Does it charge high interest rate? How’s the customer service?

Don’t worry. These questions will be answered, so make sure to stick around and find out what customers have to say about Cashalo.

Interest Rate

Most customers who borrowed from Cashalo are in unison in saying that Cashalo has low, affordable interest rate at 3.95 percent. In fact, Cashalo’s interest rate are commended by its customers as compared to the rates offered by other online cash lenders. This is the reason why the customers interviewed took a risk and tried Cashalo.

Loan Processing

Customers have different experiences. Some say that their loan application was approved within 24 hours from the time they submitted their loan application. They got a call from Cashalo representatives for an interview to verify the details indicated in their loan application. After a few hours, the loan amount was credited to their account.

On the other hand, there are customers who experienced delay in the processing of their loan application. One customer shared that it took two days before the amount was credited to her bank account while another said that her loan application was approved after 24 hours.

Nonetheless, some of the customers interviewed said that while others experienced fast approval, there are many others who got rejected instantly. One app user said that her loan application was rejected less than a minute after she submitted her application.

Loan Repayment

According to the customers interviewed, Cashalo’s loan repayment scheme is easy and straightforward compared to other online cash lenders they tried. Most of them paid over-the-counter through DragonPay.

Nonetheless, many of them said that they hoped Cashalo will introduce other payment schemes to make loan repayment easier and more convenient.

On Applying for a Succeeding Loan

This is another concern for most of the customers interviewed. According to them, although they paid for their first loan on time (some in advance), they had a problem applying for a second one. They echoed that paying on time and in full won’t automatically guarantee approval for succeeding loan applications.

Customer Service

This is another aspect that is commended by many customers interviewed. Most of them had good experience when it comes to Customer Service, saying that the staff who contacted them are nice and respectful.

Unfortunately, there were others who didn’t have a pleasant experience dealing with Cashalo’s customer service. They said that when making inquiries, follow-up, or clarifications regarding their loan, they rarely get a reply from Cashalo despite repeated messages. When it comes to following up payments, Cashalo representatives are so quick in sending them messages nonstop.

Overall, Cashalo’s low interest rate compared to other online cash lenders is its main selling point. Fast approval is also among its strongest feature, but it is best to lower your expectations since processing time varies per borrower. Still, try downloading the Cashalo app now to give it a try and see for yourself.
