What is an Additional Contact Person?

For every Bukas student loan application, applicants are required to nominate an Additional Contact Person (ACP). This individual can be a parent, sibling, close relative, or any other trusted contact, as long as they are:

(1) At least 18 years old

(2) Currently residing in the Philippines.

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) will not be allowed as an additional contact person.

Although an additional contact person may be asked to verify their identity through a link sent via SMS, they will not receive regular payment reminders. They will only be contacted if Bukas is unable to reach both the applicant and their co-borrower in case of an emergency. Please note that they might also receive minimal collection reminders.

Additional Contact Reference

For student loan applications amounting to Php 100,000 and above, an Additional Reference Person (ACR) is needed for the Bukas Assessment Team to further review the application.

If there are any further questions, please feel free to reach out to our team by filling out this form.
