DBP Salary Loan – review 2026
Pros

- Terms of up to 48 months for manageable installment sizes

The Development Bank of the Philippines provides salary loans to regular employees of government agencies, GOCCs and DBP-accredited private institutions, offering amounts from PHP 10,000 to PHP 300,000 at annual rates of 10% to 12% with terms of up to 48 months. The program is managed at the institutional level, with each participating employer signing a Memorandum of Agreement with DBP to enable payroll-deduction repayment.
Who it suits
Regular employees of government agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations, or private institutions accredited by DBP are the intended borrowers. DBP's development mandate means it tends to prioritize sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure and industry when selecting institutional partners, so availability can vary by employer and sector.
Applying and repayment
Employees of a participating institution apply through their employer's coordinated process under the DBP Memorandum of Agreement, submitting standard identification and employment documents. Repayment is deducted from the employee's salary each month and remitted to DBP for the duration of the loan term.
