With a BPI auto loan, you can purchase a new or used car with an opportunity to use your savings on a BPI savings account as a holdout to serve as the down payment. If you don't have a BPI banking account, you will have to upload some documents, depending on your income source. Flexible repayment options and included insurance premium solutions are available. The minimum loan amount is P500,000.
Types of BPI Auto Loans
- BPI Auto Loan offers loan terms from 12 to 60 months; a down payment of 15 — 70% of the vehicle selling price is necessary. Loan payments are fixed monthly repayments without any price increases. Available for both new and pre-owned cars, big bikes, and trucks.
- Zero Cash-Out auto loan does not require you to withdraw your cash for a down payment: a minimum of 20% of the vehicle's selling price will be held from the client's Time Deposit, Savings, or Current account as the down payment. You won't lose your interest, as well. A loan term is 60 months.
This car loan is available for individual applicants who want to buy a new passenger car for personal use.
- The Step Up PayPlan auto loan allows a borrower to control loan payments: pay less during the early years of the loan term and slowly increase payments amount for the following years. As a result, the amount of the monthly repayment can be 10% lower than the monthly amortization of a regular Auto Loan. This loan is available for individual applicants who borrow a new passenger car for a 5-year term with a minimum down payment of 15%. The loan amount can reach up to P800,000.
- A Multiyear Protect auto loan lets a borrower pay a car loan and insurance premium in one fixed monthly payment with a Zero Cash-out on insurance. An individual applicant may borrow a new passenger car for 36 — 60 months.
