So you're an OFW and need a loan from BDO? Hold your horses, kababayan! (Don't worry, the horse isn't part of the loan application process, just a friendly metaphor.)
Being an OFW is no easy feat. You're out there conquering the world, sending money back home, and probably missing all the good kare-kare. But sometimes, even superheroes need a little financial help. That's where BDO's loan programs for our amazing kababayans come in.

| How To Loan In Bdo For Ofw |
First things first: Are you loan-worthy? (cue dramatic music)
Before you whip out your best selfie for your loan application, there are a few things to consider:
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
- Age: Gotta be at least 25 years old to apply, and spry enough (okay, not literally) to see the loan through until you're 65.
- Citizenship: You gotta be a Filipino citizen, with or without that fancy dual citizenship.
- Employment: Prove you're a rockstar employee with at least two years under your belt with the same company.
- Income: Show BDO you're financially responsible with a minimum gross monthly income of ₱20,000 or its US dollar equivalent.
- Landline love: This might sound old-school, but you (and your beneficiary) need to have a landline phone. It's like the handshake of the loan application world, apparently.
Remember, these are just the basic requirements. Always check with BDO for the latest updates and specific details.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
Now, let's get down to business! (cue montage of you gathering documents)
Once you've confirmed you're loan-worthy (and hopefully haven't dug out your old landline from the attic), it's time to gather your documents:
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
- Valid ID: Passport, driver's license, anything that screams "I am who I say I am!"
- Proof of income: Payslips, contracts, bank statements - basically, anything that proves you're rolling in the dough (well, at least enough dough to pay back the loan).
- Application forms: You can download these online or grab them at any BDO branch. Don't worry, they're not written in ancient hieroglyphics, just regular human language.
Bonus tip: If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't be afraid to ask a friend, family member, or even BDO staff for help. They're there to guide you through the loan-a-palooza.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.

Submit, submit, submit! (and then maybe celebrate with some halo-halo)
Once you've got everything in order, head to your nearest BDO branch and submit your application with a confident smile (and maybe a bit of nervous excitement). Then, the waiting game begins. But fret not, kabayan! BDO will keep you updated on the status of your application.
Remember, getting a loan is a big decision. Make sure you understand all the terms and conditions before you sign on the dotted line. Don't be afraid to ask questions and make sure you're comfortable with the repayment plan.
With a little bit of planning and a whole lot of kabayanihan spirit, you'll be well on your way to securing that BDO loan and achieving your financial goals. Who knows, maybe you'll finally be able to afford that karaoke machine you've always wanted (just don't wake the neighbors, please!).
