The Pag-IBIG Fund is a blessing to its members for the many benefits and services they can avail of, including three types of loans and even an additional savings option.
However, constantly checking your records and making payments for loans or savings can be a hassle, especially if you’re doing them the traditional way (i.e., going to the nearest Pag-IBIG office).
Luckily, Pag-IBIG recently launched Virtual Pag-IBIG, which lets members process all their transactions and check their records online. This article will show you different ways to use Virtual Pag-IBIG–and how they can make your life easier.

What Is Virtual Pag-IBIG?
Virtual Pag-IBIG is an online portal where members can access their accounts, check their records, and pay their loans or contributions. Needless to say, it’s a convenient and secure way to do Pag-IBIG transactions. Launched on Dec. 12, 2019, by Pag-IBIG officials, this online portal also has a chat function where a customer service agent will appear if you have questions or inquiries about your account.
Virtual Pag-IBIG Mobile App
You can now access Virtual Pag-IBIG using your smartphone, thanks to the new Virtual Pag-IBIG Mobile App. This app allows you to view your savings and dividends in your Regular savings or MP2 account, track your housing or multi-purpose loan payments, and check your outstanding loan balance.
The app also allows you to read the latest news and announcements from the Pag-IBIG fund.
As of this writing, the features of the Virtual Pag-IBIG Mobile app is limited only to viewing savings, dividends, payments, and loan balance. Application and payment for loans are not yet supported by the app. But Pag-IBIG assures its members that the app is continuously being improved to offer more features1.
The app is available on Google Play and App Store. With a file size of not more than 24 MB, the app will not consume much of your phone’s memory.

Hello! I’ve already paid my first pag-ibig contribution via Gcash and I wanted to create a virtual pag-ibig acount but I cannot create one and it showed that the details that I’ve provided do not match with your records even though all infos that I’ve provided were correct. What shouldy i do?
Did Pag-IBIG already send you a notification confirming that your online account has been activated? If not, you have to wait for some time. If this is your first payment, it may take up to 7 days for it to reflect on your account if you’re using a third-party payment partner like GCash. Once the payment has reflected on your account, then you can already log in to your Virtual Pag-IBIG account. But again, you can only do so if your account is already activated so I suggest reaching out to Pag-IBIG at the telephone number (02) 8724-4244.
Hi, I had this same problem and I have been sending them emails about this concern of mine. I got frustrated and did not reply back but then surprisingly I got a text message saying that my account has been activated.
Hello! I did not received another text message from pagibig for the activation of my account. What will i do?
Under “How to Create a Virtual Pag-IBIG Account”
Option 1. For existing Pag-IBIG members.
Step 9. You’ll receive a text confirmation that you have successfully created a Virtual Pag-IBIG account
Will I receive the text confirmation right away after submitting my details and IDs or the text confirmation should be expected within the 6 business day processing?
Thank you, I would just like to confirm this since I did not receive any message after submission.
How can I know if my investment for MP2 was credited to my account
If you’re making the payment online, it will reflect on your Virtual Pag-IBIG account usually within 3 business days.
