What is a Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card?

Pag-IBIG first launched its loyalty program in 2014 to maximize the value of the working Filipino’s Pag-IBIG membership. The government agency partnered with different establishments to offer exclusive discounts and perks to 12.77 million Pag-IBIG members nationwide (active membership as of December 31, 2020^[1]).

Indeed, the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card is more than just a Pag-IBIG ID. In a developing country like the Philippines, it offers considerable financial assistance to citizens who want the best value for their money. 

Pag-IBIG launched a revamped Loyalty Card in late 2019, giving it a whole new purpose. It introduced the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus,^[2] the agency’s very own cash card, which members can use to receive the proceeds of a Pag-IBIG multi-purpose loan, MP2 dividends, and other Pag-IBIG benefits.

What is the Difference Between Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card vs Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus?

The Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card was released to serve as a membership ID. Eventually, Pag-IBIG collaborated with banks like AUB and UnionBank to launch the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus―a modernized and improved version of the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card that also serves as an official Pag-IBIG ID and ATM card. 

The new Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus comes with an EMV chip that has new banking features, so it doubles as an ATM card. The AUB card^[3] works the same as any prepaid card, wherein all deposited amounts aren't eligible to earn interest. Meanwhile, the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus from UnionBank works the same as any UnionBank ATM savings card, allowing users to earn interest on any outstanding balances. 

Why You Should Get a Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card

There are many reasons to get a Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card today. Here are some of them: 

✔️ Cash Card Functionality

Pag-IBIG partnered with UnionBank and Asia United Bank to develop Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus’s cash card functionality. The Pag-IBIG ID now looks like a proper ATM card with an EMV chip for secure banking transactions. The agency is also working with other banks so all Pag-IBIG members can enjoy this feature.

✔️ Affordable Valid ID for Life

The Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus is a one-time purchase, so you don’t have to renew it again. After all, it has the same features as a regular debit card. The loyalty card is also one of the cheapest government IDs out there.

✔️ Discounts and Benefits

The reason most members sign up for the loyalty program in the first place is the convenient promos and discounts. You can use your loyalty card to get exclusive discounts on a wide range of products and services—from dining, shopping, and travel discounts to tuition fees and medical services. Year after year, the perks keep adding up!

How to Get a Pag-IBIG ID Loyalty Card

If this is your first time applying, you’ll instantly receive the newer Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus. If you currently own the old version of the loyalty card, you can still use it to get discounts from partner establishments. However, if you want to upgrade your card, you’ll have to follow the steps for a new application.

Pag-IBIG ID Requirements

Prepare the following Pag-IBIG loyalty card requirements:

• Two valid IDs - One valid ID and its photocopy to be used during the application process and the other valid ID to be left with the guard upon entry. Take note that Pag-IBIG no longer considers Philhealth ID and TIN cards as valid IDs. 
• Permanent Membership ID (MID) number
• Active Pag-IBIG membership

If you have yet to receive your MID number, that means you don’t have a Pag-IBIG membership yet. Application is easy—just head to the online Pag-IBIG registration page.^[4] 

How to Apply for a Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card

Once you’ve secured your requirements for a Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card and your permanent Membership ID number, follow these Pag-IBIG Loyalty card application steps: 

1. Download the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus application form^[5] and fill it out.
2. Submit the completed form to the nearest Pag-IBIG Fund branch.
3. Pay the registration fee of ₱125 and keep the receipt for claiming.
4. Proceed to the biometrics section to have your picture and fingerprints taken.
