If you’re a Pag-IBIG member who has availed of either the Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL) or the Calamity Loan (CL), you may find yourself wondering how much of your loan remains unpaid.
Knowing your balance is important to manage your finances, avoid penalties, and plan future payments effectively.
Whether you’re doing it online, in person, or via phone, we’ve got you covered.
No matter your situation—whether you’re working from home, caught in traffic, or facing a busy day—there’s a convenient option for you.
What Are the Pag-IBIG MPL and Calamity Loans?
The Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL) is designed to help Pag-IBIG members meet short-term financial needs.
This can cover expenses like medical bills, home renovation, tuition fees, or any urgent personal costs.
The Calamity Loan (CL) is for members affected by natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, or earthquakes.
It provides financial relief during times when you need support the most.
These loans come with affordable interest rates and flexible payment terms, making them accessible to Pag-IBIG members.
But how can you check your balance and stay on top of your payments? Here’s how.
How to Check Balance
1. Checking Your Loan Balance Online (via Virtual Pag-IBIG)
The Virtual Pag-IBIG platform offers an easy and quick way to check your loan balance from the comfort of your home.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Step 1: Go to the Virtual Pag-IBIG website and log in. If you don’t have an account yet, you’ll need to create one using your Pag-IBIG MID number and some personal details.
- Step 2: Once logged in, navigate to the loan section and choose either MPL or CL, depending on which loan balance you want to check.
- Step 3: View your outstanding balance and see details of any upcoming payments.
This is perfect for members who prefer online convenience and want quick access to their loan information.
It saves you time and avoids the hassle of going to a branch.
2. Checking Your Loan Balance via Pag-IBIG Mobile App
For those constantly on the go, the Pag-IBIG Mobile App offers another way to check your balance.
It works similarly to Virtual Pag-IBIG but with the added convenience of being accessible from your smartphone.
To check your balance:
- Step 1: Download the Pag-IBIG Mobile App from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Step 2: Log in using your credentials. If you haven’t signed up yet, you’ll need to register with your Pag-IBIG MID number.

This app is ideal for members who want access to their account anytime, anywhere.
3. In-Person at a Pag-IBIG Branch
Not comfortable with online options?
You can still visit a Pag-IBIG branch near you to request your loan balance.
Here’s what to do:
- Step 1: Visit your nearest Pag-IBIG branch.
- Step 2: Bring two valid government-issued IDs for identity verification.
- Step 3: Request your loan balance from the teller.
This option may take more time, but it’s a reliable choice if you prefer face-to-face assistance.
4. Calling the Pag-IBIG Hotline
If you’re unable to visit a branch or don’t have internet access, you can call the Pag-IBIG Fund Contact Center.
Here’s how:
- Step 1: Dial (+632) 8-724-4244 during weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
- Step 2: Have your Pag-IBIG MID number ready for verification.
- Step 3: Ask for your current MPL or CL loan balance.
This is perfect for those who prefer direct communication or need immediate information.
5. Checking Your Balance through Partner Banks
If your loan was processed through one of Pag-IBIG’s partner banks, you may be able to check your balance using the bank’s online banking services.
For instance:
- Landbank or Unionbank customers can use their online platforms or mobile banking apps to access loan information.
- You can also contact your bank directly to inquire about your Pag-IBIG loan balance.
This option is especially useful for members who received their loan via cash cards issued by these partner banks.
6. Sending an Email to Pag-IBIG
For those who prefer written communication, you can also request your loan balance by sending an email to contactus@pagibigfund.gov.ph.
Here’s how:
- Step 1: Compose an email with your full name, Pag-IBIG MID number, and your request for your MPL or CL loan balance.
- Step 2: Send it to contactus@pagibigfund.gov.ph.
- Step 3: Wait for a response, which typically arrives within 2 to 3 working days.
While this method may take a bit longer, it’s a great option if you prefer having written documentation of your request.
What to Prepare Before Requesting Your Loan Balance
To make things smoother when checking your balance, always have the following ready:
- Pag-IBIG MID Number: This is your unique identifier within the Pag-IBIG system.
- Valid ID: Whether visiting in person or sending an email, always have at least two government-issued IDs on hand for verification.
