Sometimes you just need extra cash.

Tuition fees, medical expenses, sudden bills, or even small home repairs can put pressure on your budget.

Instead of borrowing from high-interest lenders, Pag-IBIG offers a safer, more affordable solution: the Pag-IBIG Salary Loan, officially known as the Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL).

Knowing how to avail this loan gives you access to quick financial relief while keeping repayments manageable.

💡 Why Avail a Pag-IBIG Salary Loan?

The Pag-IBIG Salary Loan or MPL is designed to help members cover short-term needs without falling into debt traps. It offers:

• Lower interest rate of 10.5% per year compared to private lenders.
• Loan amount of up to 80% of your total Pag-IBIG savings.
• Repayment term of up to 24 months.
• Convenient payment through salary deduction or online platforms.

This means you borrow with confidence, knowing your loan is affordable, flexible, and backed by the government.

📑 Step 1: Check Your Eligibility

Before applying, make sure you meet the basic qualifications:

• At least 24 monthly contributions to Pag-IBIG.
• At least one contribution in the last six months.
• Active Pag-IBIG membership at the time of application.
• No defaulted Pag-IBIG loans.

Eligibility is the foundation. Without it, your loan cannot proceed. With it, approval becomes smoother.

📂 Step 2: Prepare the Requirements

To avail the Pag-IBIG Salary Loan, you need:

• Duly accomplished Multi-Purpose Loan Application Form.
• One or two valid government-issued IDs.
• Proof of income:
  • For employed: latest payslips or Certificate of Employment and Compensation (COEC).
  • For self-employed: business permits, tax returns, or audited financial statements.
  • For OFWs: employment contract, payslips, or remittance receipts.

Documents, documents, documents — complete them early to avoid delays.

🖥️ Step 3: File Your Application

There are two ways to apply:

• Online via Virtual Pag-IBIG: Log in, fill out the MPL form, upload requirements, and submit.
• In-branch application: Submit your form and documents at the nearest Pag-IBIG office.

Choose the method that suits you. Online is faster; in-branch provides staff support.

⏳ Step 4: Wait for Evaluation

Pag-IBIG will review your documents, check your contributions, and verify your repayment capacity. MPL loans are usually faster to process than housing loans since no property checks are required.

💵 Step 5: Loan Release

Once approved, the loan proceeds are released directly to your bank account or via check. This is when relief becomes reality: the funds are in your hands, ready to use.

📲 Step 6: Start Paying Your Loan

Repayment is made simple. For employed members, payments are deducted automatically from salaries. For others, payments can be made via Virtual Pag-IBIG, GCash, Maya, partner banks, or accredited payment centers. Consistent, timely payments keep your records clean and open doors for future borrowing. Borrow, pay, repeat — responsibly.

✅ Tips to Maximize Your Salary Loan

• Borrow only what you truly need to avoid unnecessary debt.
• Use the Pag-IBIG loan calculator to plan your monthly payments.
• Keep your contributions updated for faster approvals.
• Pay on time to avoid penalties and maintain good standing.
