With the extension of the Enhanced Community Quarantine from April 13 to 30, 2020 and in compliance with the ‘Bayanihan To Heal As One’ Act, Philippine Savings Bank continues to provide valuable assistance to all of its loan customers during these challenging times.
Loan payments for all types of loans with due dates falling within the new ECQ dates will further get a 30-day grace period. This adds to the loan payment moratorium that the country’s maaasahan bank granted the previous month, for loan dues beginning March 15, 2020.
For more information, visit the PSBank website or facebook.com/psbankofficial or refer to the Frequently Asked Questions below:

4. Does this mean that I have to double my amortization on my next due date (after extended ECQ ending April 30,2020)?
No. You will NOT PAY DOUBLE on succeeding due dates after the covered period. “HINDI ka namin sisingilin ng DOBLE ng regular na amortization mo matapos ang April 30 kung kailan inaasahan naming muling maguumpisa ang pagbayad ng loan (pagkatapos ng ECQ).”
Your loan maturity date will be moved further by 1 or 2 months depending on the number of amortizations which were granted a grace period for payment.
Example:
Due Date: every 16th of the Month
No. of payments covered by the grace period: 2 ( March 16 & April 16)
Current/Original Maturity Date: April 1, 2021
New Maturity Date: June 1, 2021*
*You may need to submit another check or adjust your auto debit arrangement to cover for the May & June 1, 2021 due dates.
You may do advance payment should you wish to shorten the entire loan term.
5. Is this only applicable for Metro Manila booked accounts?
No. The grace period will cover all loan accounts booked NATIONWIDE.

No need to sign any documents. Adjustment will be made in our system. No need to sign any amendment documents.
7. What will happen to my post-dated check for my present due date/s ( within the covered period)? Will you hold the check?
Yes, we will automatically hold the post-dated check if your due date falls within the covered dates of the grace period. There is no need for you to request for deferment of check. You may need to issue another check/s to cover for the month/s as a result of the adjusted maturity date of the loan.
8. My loan will mature within the year. Do I still need to submit another check?
Yes, if your remaining loan term is 6 months and up.
For those with remaining term of less than 6 months, the Bank has the option to apply your held check to your adjusted last due date provided the check is not yet stale. You will receive an SMS notification on this.

For over-the-counter (OTC) payments, you may visit any branch to pay for your loan due. You also have the option to pay online, thru the PSBank Mobile app, or via ATM.
For those whose mode of payment is via Automatic Debit Arrangement (ADA) or Post-dated Check (PDC), you may call our CX Hotline (02) 8845-8888 or email us at customerexperience@psbank.com.ph to request for manual debit or posting of your check payment.

Your payment has been posted to your loan account. For now, there will be no refund.
12. Can I request for more than the grace period given?
No. For now, we will follow the rules on the granting of grace period for loan payments falling due during ECQ. Note that when payments on the loan resume after April 30, 2020, you will not be paying double your regular amortization in any month. Your maturity date will only be further extended accordingly.
