Last March, the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card was initially launched in Metro Cebu. Finally, it is now available nationwide.

The Pag-ibig Loyalty Card is different from the Universal Multipurpose Identification (UMID) card as it can also be used for various transactions with Pag-IBIG, it also doubles as a cash card linked with the Land Bank of the Philippines.

If you have applied for loan, the proceeds could be released through the loyalty cards. Through the cash card, each member could withdraw their loans using their debit card as well as other refundable transactions with the fund.

The debit card may also be conveniently used in shopping transactions and in availing of up to 10 to 20 percent special discounts and rewards in various establishments. Just present your card to any partners to receive these rewards.
