You will need your proof of address, student ID (or a valid government ID) , your statement of account or a screenshot of your student portal (for degree programs) or a screenshot of your order summary (for certificate courses).
Either the borrower or co-borrower, or both, will need to provide a source of income. (list of valid proof of income).
Account verification and important application updates will be sent to your mobile, therefore you must have a working mobile number
A co-borrower is an additional borrower who can be a spouse, parent, sibling, or any family member, or even a friend, who will be equally liable for the loan. Both the borrower and co-borrower need to sign the contract, are equally responsible to pay the loan, and both will receive collection reminders.
Having a co-borrower puts someone in a better position to manage a loan. Once your loan agreement is activated, the borrower will need to keep both individuals' information updated. (e.g. when updating mobile number, address, etc.)
The co-borrower needs to prepare any valid ID (even school ID), one proof of residence, one proof of billing, and/or proof of source of income.
Your Additional Contact Person will serve as your emergency contact. They must be a resident of the Philippines and at least 18 years old. They will need to provide their contact details, such as their mobile number and email address.
As the borrower, you will need to prepare your school ID (or any valid ID), one proof of residence, and your school assessment form. Either the borrower or co-borrower, or both, will need to provide a source of income.

Before getting a plan, find out how much you need first (this is called your plan’s “Principal” amount). Do you need coverage for your full tuition? Or do you only need partial coverage? Sometimes it’s better to ask for partial coverage to minimize your monthly payments at the start. You can always add more coverage when you need it.
Now that you know what you need, you can now see how much you will have to repay. This will be bigger than what you asked for due to the interest rates charged to your plan.
