Before applying for a car loan, there are eligibility requirements everyone should be eligible for. To give you a refresher, an applicant who’s applying for a car loan should be:

  • Must be a Filipino citizen
  • Must be at least 21 years old but not more than 65 years old upon loan maturity.
  • The applicant must have a household monthly income of at least Php30, 000.00 to Php40, 000.00 for some banks.
  • If the applicant is a foreigner, the co-borrower must be a Filipino.

Employment requirements

There are banks who require the applicant to be employed for at least two (2) years. Moreover, there are banks who require applicants to be in a permanent position in where they’re working.

OFWs can also apply for a car loan. This is possible as long as their co-borrower or co-guarantor is a resident here in the Philippines. Both the borrower and the co-guarantor can have their salaries combined and that can be the declared salary in paying for the car loan.

NOTE: There are banks who would require just one stream of income while there are banks who would ask you to declare the whole household’s income. This is for them to gauge the amount of the loan that you’re applying for.

Car loan requirements

Other than the eligibilities, there are physical requirements or documentation that will be asked if you’re applying for a car loan. These documents are to be presented to see:

  • The address of residency
  • How much you’re earning on a monthly or bi-monthly basis
  • To gauge how much you’re spending in a monthly basis for your utilities

This is so they can help you by suggesting what other options are fit for you in the event that what you want is something that might be difficult for you. The documentary car loan requirements you need to submit are:
