Which should you choose?

The SSS salary loan is tied to your salary credit and has a slightly lower rate (10% vs 10.5%), while the Pag-IBIG MPL is tied to your total accumulated savings and can offer a larger amount and a longer term. If you need a bigger sum or smaller monthly payments, the longer Pag-IBIG term often helps; if you want the lowest interest, SSS edges it. Eligibility and exact terms differ — confirm with each agency.
