Social Security System Loans – loan
SSS loans for members up to ₱500,000 with low interest
Applying does not commit you to any contract.
Social Security System Loans provides government-backed loan assistance to active members of the Social Security System (SSS) in the Philippines. As a benefit of SSS membership, these loans offer significantly lower interest rates than commercial lenders — starting at 10.00% per month — with repayment terms of up to 24 months.
The loan amount you qualify for is based on your monthly salary credit and the number of posted contributions. Members can borrow from ₱1,000 up to ₱500,000. Repayment is typically made through monthly salary deduction for employed members, or through quarterly payments for self-employed and voluntary members.
SSS loans are one of the most affordable borrowing options available to Filipino workers. Maintaining a clean repayment record also protects your SSS membership benefits. Approval processing takes approximately 5-7 banking days after submission of complete requirements.
