1. Understand How Car Financing Works
Car financing lets you spread the cost of a vehicle over monthly payments instead of paying everything upfront. A bank or financing company pays for the car, and you repay them over time — with interest.
What you need:
- Down payment (usually 20%–30%)
- Monthly payments based on loan amount and interest rate
- Required documents like valid IDs, proof of income, etc.
2. Check Your Credit Standing
Your credit history shows lenders how reliable you are in repaying loans. A good credit score can greatly improve your chances of approval.
Tips to boost approval chances:
- Pay your bills and existing loans on time
- Avoid applying for multiple loans at once
- Settle outstanding balances if possible
3. Prepare All Required Documents
For Employed:
- Valid government-issued ID (1 or 2)
- Certificate of Employment and/or latest 3 months’ payslips
- Proof of billing (e.g., Meralco or water bill)
- TIN and SSS/GSIS number
- ITR Form 2316 with BIR stamp (some banks like EastWest require this)
For Self-Employed:
- Valid IDs
- DTI and Business Permit
- Latest 3–6 months bank statements
- ITR (1701) with BIR stamp
For OFWs:
- Passport and visa
- Employment contract or certificate
- Consularized SPA (if purchasing through a representative)
- Proof of remittance
- Bank statement (last 3 months)
Lenders prefer stable income, so make sure your documents reflect that.
4. Choose the Right Car Within Your Budget
Avoid applying for a loan that’s beyond your income level. Lenders will assess if your monthly income can comfortably cover the monthly payments.
