What is a Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card?
Pag-IBIG first launched its loyalty program in 2014 as a way 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 Pag-IBIG members nationwide. That’s why the membership grew from 8.8 million in 2010 to 14.8 million in 2014.[1]
Pag-IBIG Fund members as of 2018 consist of 10.54 million members from the private sector, 2.12 million from the government sector, 300,000 from other working groups, and 1.06 million OFWs.[2]
Indeed, the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card became 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. And in late 2019, Pag-IBIG improved on it and gave it a whole new purpose. It introduced the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus[3], the agency’s very own cash card, which can be used to receive the proceeds of multi-purpose loans, MP2 dividends, and other Pag-IBIG benefits.
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 introduce 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 which allow it to work as an ATM card. The AUB card[4] is the same as any prepaid card wherein all deposited amounts won’t be eligible to earn interest. Meanwhile, the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus from UnionBank[5] is also the same as any UnionBank ATM savings card which allows you 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.
1. Cash Card Functionality
Pag-IBIG partnered with Unionbank and Asia United Bank to make the cash card functionality of the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus a reality. The Pag-IBIG ID now looks like a proper ATM card, complete with an EMV chip for secure banking transactions. The agency is also currently working with other banks to bring the new cash card closer to all Pag-IBIG members.
2. Affordable Valid ID for Life
The Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus is a one-time purchase, which means you don’t have to renew it ever 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.
3. 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 from a wide range of products and services. From dining, shopping, and travel discounts to even 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 for one, 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.
