LTO plate number l Moneymax

Is My License Plate Available? LTO Plate Number Updates You Should Know

One of the most common problems of vehicle owners in the Philippines is acquiring their LTO plate number. These plates serve as proof of legitimacy and as a vehicle’s identifier in terms of registration, road violations, and compliance with government laws.  Although most car owners of newly registered cars in 2020 and 2021 were able to secure the plates within one month after registration, many are still waiting for their LTO plate number release.  Curious to know when new plate numbers in the Philippines will be released this 2021? It looks like a long wait ahead. Just recently, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) said it’s looking for help from outside the agency to produce 18 million plates.[1] This number comprises the plate numbers for motorcycles and cars that have not been released since 2013. According to the LTO, processing the backlog will take around 40 months, or more than three years, if they don’t get help from third-party suppliers.  Why Do You Need an LTO Plate Number? You might be wondering why there’s so much clamor to speed up the LTO new plate number release. It’s basically for safety and security reasons. Together with your car or motorcycle’s official receipt and Certificate of Registration (OR/CR), the LTO plate number serves as a vehicle’s identity.  In February this year, Senator Richard Gordon called for the sacking of LTO officials because of their failure to implement the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act of 2019 due to LTO’s backlog in plate number production. Gordon considered the delay in the issuance of bigger and more…

Quarantine Spending Habits You Should Keep After COVID-19

Do you even remember how you used to buy things outside before the pandemic? I thought so. Just ask the recent Digital Statshot report of We Social and Hootsuite that revealed 23% of internet users in the Philippines spent more time shopping online in the last few months[1]. Realize it or not, you have cultivated your own quarantine spending habits that work for you. But the thing is, the pandemic will end soon and everything will go back to normal. So have you decided which spending habits you will keep? Because if there’s a positive about the whole quarantine situation, it’s that we were all forced to find new ways to manage our finances. Here are just some of the habits I’m inclined to keep for years to come.  Quarantine Spending Habits You Should Keep Comparing Prices and Alternatives Online Good thing everything’s online now because financial services just got a lot easier, and that includes comparing prices and alternatives. For example, if you needed to have something delivered in the pre-pandemic, you only had at least two courier services to choose from. But now, you can compare prices from Grab, Lalamove, Mr. Speedy, and a bunch of others.  Whether it’s food delivery or online shopping, can you remember the last time you ordered something immediately without checking the prices from other platforms? The nifty thing is that you can also compare prices for other financial products like credit cards and personal loans online. So as far as keeping quarantine spending habits is concerned, this one’s it. Saving Money by…

How Digital Banking Can Help You Today: Top Questions Answered by Experts

Digital banking is not just a financial buzzword these days. Just ask the recent Visa Consumer Payment Attitudes study[1], which found that Filipino’s interest in digital banking services increased to 80% compared to last year’s 70%.

Comprehensive Insurance Guide in the Philippines: How to Insure Your Car

Owning a car entails many responsibilities. Before you can even drive it, you need to accomplish basic requirements such as vehicle registration and car insurance coverage. While registering your car is a more straightforward task, getting a comprehensive insurance in the Philippines can get more complex. It requires you to do some research, determine the coverage your vehicle needs, and choose an insurance company that offers the best deals. But don’t let the process discourage your from insuring your car. Learn everything about comprehensive car insurance in the Philippines through this beginner-friendly guide. CTPL Insurance vs. Comprehensive Car Insurance Let’s start with the basics. There are two types of auto insurance: Compulsory Third Party Liability (CTPL) and Comprehensive Car Insurance (Compre). It’s important to establish right off the bat that both types are equally essential. While it’s true that you only need to buy one, it is highly recommended to get both insurance policies to better protect you and your car. Unlike comprehensive insurance, CTPL insurance is mandated in the Philippines. It is also the most basic and least expensive type of vehicle insurance in the country. What is Comprehensive Insurance for Cars in the Philippines? True to its name, a comprehensive insurance for cars in the Philippines or “compre” is a more comprehensive type of policy compared to CTPL. It’s not mandatory, but it is highly recommended to buy one, especially if you use your vehicle everyday. While a CTPL insurance protects the general public, a comprehensive insurance protects you, your car, as well as your passengers from an…

Money-Saving Credit Card Hacks in the Philippines You Should Check Out

Is owning a credit card expensive? Will it get me into deep debt? Should I use my card less or should I use it for all my expenses? You are probably asking these questions in your mind while you’re comparing credit cards for future use. If only there are credit hacks in the Philippines you can exploit, you’re probably thinking as well. And you’d be right, there are! Here are just some of them. 9 Helpful Credit Card Hacks in the Philippines 1. Get an Annual Fee Waiver Credit card annual fees in the Philippines can go as high as PHP 6,000. Although you pay them only once a year, the amount can still put a dent in your budget. But know that there’s no need to shell out a certain amount every year for using your credit card. Instead, you can allocate this money for your savings or as an addition to your investments. Consider taking advantage of waived annual fees. Some banks allow their cardholders to have their annual fee waived, as long as they use their card regularly and are in good credit standing. You may contact your issuing bank to request an annual fee waiver. Just make sure you don’t have any pending balances to strengthen your case. Another way to avoid paying annual fees is to use your accumulated rewards points to redeem an annual fee waiver. Most credit card reward programs allow points to be converted to cash credit and annual fee waivers. And since redeeming points for travel isn’t a good idea right…

Need Extra Income? 8 Ways to Make Money Using Your Car

You know the old saying, “With great cars comes great expenses”? You probably don’t, but you won’t find the lie in that statement. You’ll be spending a lot on fuel, maintenance costs, and car insurance in the Philippines. Not to mention that the older your vehicle, the lower its resale value is. Because of this, it’s best to maximize your vehicle until it’s time to say ‘goodbye’ and purchase a new one. According to a research conducted by Toronto Star[1], the average lifespan of newer vehicles is 12.88 years, which means you’ll have more than enough time to figure out how to earn money using your car in the Philippines. Fortunately, the fact that a car can conveniently get you from points A to B means you won’t run out of business ideas. Here are a few ideas you can try out. How to Earn Money Using Your Car in the Philippines 1. Offer Delivery Services to Neighbors If you’re the unofficial social butterfly of your neighborhood, you can offer to be a delivery person for your neighbors. You can take their pets to the groomers, pick up and deliver packages for them, or offer to buy their essentials. Owning a car during the pandemic can be an instant source of income by offering your services to those who don’t own one. You being the neighborhood’s resident “serbis” works wonders in last-minute instances and even emergency situations. After all, people are willing to pay extra for convenience. Target your neighbors who are commuting everyday or running a day-to-day business delivering various products online. 2. Become…

How to Achieve Financial Goals: One-Year-After-Lockdown Edition

For years, every adult has struggled to figure out how to achieve financial goals. Some were lucky to find the right solution; others failed to even move needles with their efforts. Then the pandemic came and made it even harder for everyone to get any financial goals done. One year in and most of us are still stuck at home with no end in sight. Is it still possible to get things done? Of course it is! It might take a while than usual, but here are some things you can do during lockdown to inch your way closer to your financial goals.  How to Achieve Financial Goals During the Pandemic Practice Delayed Gratification It’s not enough to say save your money because that’s too generic. At this point, saving money is a goal in itself. So how do you end up saving money? One way to do so is to practice delayed gratification[1]. It involves managing expectation and cultivating self-control by delaying satisfaction. Basically, just don’t buy the thing when you don’t need the thing. The best part about delayed gratification is that you can use it to improve other aspects of your life. Delaying a huge purchase saves you money; delaying a video game session to focus on work improves your productivity; delaying a custard cake for later (or not eating it at all) works well for your diet. So during lockdown, find the means to delay instant gratification.  Work Smarter than Harder Don’t get me wrong—working hard is great. It can take you places, but it won’t…

reasons why car insurance claim denied

9 Possible Reasons Your Car Insurance Claim Got Denied

Now that you have auto insurance coverage, you’re guaranteed financial protection from any car-related damage you might incur on the road. However, car insurance doesn’t give you the license to act recklessly out there. You can’t just apply for a claim after a car accident and expect to receive money in an instant. Your insurance provider will evaluate your accident thoroughly before deciding to cover the expenses or not. If you got your car insurance claim denied, don’t freak out just yet. There’s probably a good reason why it was rejected in the first place. 9 Reasons Why Car Owners Get Their Car Insurance Claim Denied 1. Unpaid Premiums Your claim will obviously get denied if you still have unpaid premiums. This is why insurance providers recommend paying your car insurance in full. You’d think you’re saving money by choosing a 90-day or monthly payment plan, but that’s not the case. Accidents tend to happen sporadically. They’re so random that they can happen during the first few days of your payment plan. If that happens, you’ll end up paying for the repairs yourself, together with the remaining balance of your car insurance. 2. Policyholder’s Negligence Another obvious reason for a denied car insurance claim is your negligence. We’ve established earlier how insurance providers evaluate your claim before covering the expenses. So if your insurance provider found that you’re responsible for the accident, expect your car insurance claim to be rejected. If they found out an instance where you could have avoided the accident, the insurance company may also get your…
