Procedure

Student Loans in the Philippines - Banks

1. In reviewing loan applications, banks will usually take into consideration the applicant's character, capacity to repay the loan and ability to comply with the bank's conditions. To help them evaluate your application, they might ask you to present some form of identification or evidence that you are currently enrolled in an educational institution.
2. For banks to know how much you will need to borrow, they will need a computation of your tuition fees, accomodation fees if there's any, school materials etc. Banks may also ask you to provide information about your income/parent's income.
3. Search online for banks that have student loan schemes or offers personal loans for education in the Philippines.
4. Check if you can start your application online. Some banks will ask applicants to complete a preliminary application online. After reviewing the application, a bank representative will contact the applicant to tell them where can they submit their application and what documents will they need to produce.
5. Some banks have the 'Application for a Loan Form' available on their website, read the form carefully as you fill in the required details and bring it with you when you apply for a loan at the bank's branch along with all other required documents.

Things you should know before applying for a loan:

Before you apply for a loan, carefully take note of the interest rate, conditions and repayment scheme that the bank is offering. It will be better if you look into several banks and have done some research regarding the banks application process. One thing that you also need to consider in choosing where to apply for a student loan is the bank's customer service, since this type of loan can take years of continuous correspondence between you and your bank, it will be much better if your bank has a good and accommodating customer service, this will save you from a lot of stress in the future.

Tip: You may not need to accept the entire loan amount the bank is offering you. Since you will be paying back the loan sometime in the future, it will be more ideal if you will only borrow what you need.
