How can I pay off this BPI Family Auto Loan?

BPI offers flexible ways on how you can pay for it monthly. You are not tied up to the Auto Debit Arrangement (ADA) method. In fact, the following can be used in paying off your BPI Auto Loan:

  • Auto Debit Arrangement (ADA) – payment will be automatically deducted from your deposit or settlement account
  • Over the Counter (OTC)
  • Mobile Banking – Through BPI Mobile text facility
  • Phone Banking – Phone 89-100 and pay through the system or with a representative; and
  • Online banking – log on to the BPI online banking website

Paying over the counter (OTC)

Over the counter payments for a car loan is slightly unusual. Why? Because companies like to secure the payments readily. This is where BPI’s car loan has an advantage at. Although you won’t be saved from the hassle of visiting the bank every now and then, you have to option to pay it yourself. Furthermore, you won’t be forced to pay automatically.

Payments can be done at any BPI or BPI Family Savings Bank branch by filling out the deposit slip using your Loan Account Number as reference and SBA’s as follows:

  • Fill in the Special Banking Arrangement (SBA) number in the account number boxes: (For BPI branches- (SBA#) 0011140386 ; For BPI Family Savings Bank branches – (SBA#) 7993000013)
  • Write AUTO LOAN in the Account name/Merchant’s name space
  • Put in your Loan Account Number in the Reference no. space
  • Fill in client’s full name in the planholder’s name space

I’m interested, what do I need to prepare for initial submission?

First thing is that you need to secure a duly accomplished BPI Auto Loan application form. If you’re an employee, submit it together with your Certificate of Employment (CoE) with salary and ITR. If you’re, self-employed, partnerships or corporations, we would need copies of your business registration papers, articles of incorporation (if applicable), ITR and latest financial statements, a list of trade references including addresses and contact numbers.
