📌 What are the GLoan Features?

Know more about GLoan’s features below.

It's Available to Pre-Qualified Users  

Before you make a GCash loan application, note that application approval will be based on your GScore,[1] which is computed based on your active use of GCash. You’ll be assessed according to your GCredit payments, wallet balance, and bill payment history. 

The GScore doesn’t only qualify you for a GCash loan online. It will also let you avail of a credit line of up to ₱30,000, a 3% interest rate, and exclusive benefits and perks. 

Borrow Up to ₱125,000 

How much can you loan from GCash? You can borrow anywhere from ₱1,000 to the GLoan maximum amount of ₱125,000. 

Enjoy Easy Payment Terms

Depending on your loan amount, you can enjoy affordable terms for your GLoan. Pay your GLoan for as low as ₱215.90 per month for five months. 

📌 What is the GLoan Interest Rate?

The GCash loan interest rate varies for each user. However, based on a ₱50,000 GLoan example, the GCash loan interest rate is 1.59%.

Check out this GLoan interest computation and learn how to generate the amount due, processing fees, and monthly installments.

  1. Select the amount you want to borrow from ₱1,000 to ₱125,000 by dragging the cursor to your desired amount. 
  2. Take note that the GCash loan calculator presets loans from ₱1,000 to ₱2,000 to be payable in five months; ₱5,000 to ₱15,000 in nine months; ₱16,000 to ₱50,000 in 12 months; ₱51,000 to ₱75,000 in 15 months, and ₱76,000 to ₱125,000 in 24 months.
  3. The interest rate will be reflected.  
  4. Choose the date of your loan. 
  5. Click the Calculate button. Should you want to change any of the previous information, select Reset
  6. Your loan summary will appear on the right corner of your screen. 

GLoan also comes with a processing fee of 3% of the loaned amount, which will be deducted from your total loan receivable. 

For example, if you want to borrow ₱50,000, a processing fee of ₱1,500 will be deducted from your loan proceeds. Your total loan amount receivable will be ₱48,500.

Looking at the example of a ₱50,000 loan, you’ll be paying ₱4,961.67 for 12 months, which translates to a total payment of ₱59,540.04. Deduct the initial loan of ₱50,000 from your total payment, and you’ll get ₱9,540.04, then add the ₱1,500 processing fee. You’ll then come up with ₱11,040.04, which sums the total charges of your GCash loan.
