You may settle your loan at any Security Bank branch bills payment facility or through our accredited payment channels (Security Bank Online App, CVM Pawnshop, Gaisano Malls, and 7-eleven). Put SB Finance as biller, and use your loan number as reference. We encourage you to settle your loan balance in full before due date to avoid any inconvenience and additional charges. Note that payment transactions made on non-business days will be considered as the next business day's transactions, and will be posted on the next business day after the transaction date. All other transactions will be posted on the next business day. For example, payments made on Saturday or Sunday will be considered as Mondayโ€™s transactions, which will be posted the following day, Tuesday. Similarly, if Monday is a holiday, the transactions on this day will be considered as Tuesdayโ€™s transactions, and will be posted on Wednesday. If Monday is a regular business day, transactions will be posted on Tuesday.

The assigned credit limit means the amount you can avail of at any time with eSALAD. 6. Will the assigned credit limit vary from one employee to the other? Yes. Your assigned credit limit varies depending on the average net salary credited to your payroll account for the last 6 months.

You may specify the number of installments you want to repay the loan for a maximum of thirty-six (36) months*. Since you are an account holder of SBC, your monthly amortization will be debited every pay day, which would be twice (2x) a month. *Maximum loan term varies per accredited company.

It depends on the loan term that you prefer and the frequency of your salary pay-out. For example, if you prefer 12 months and you receive your salary twice per month, the number of deductions to input is 24. If you only receive your salary once a month, the number of deductions to input is 12.

Your payment due date is based on your payroll cut-off dates. The amortization will be automatically debited from your payroll account salary credits.

Your first due date is the immediate payroll date after your availment. However, if you avail five (5) days before your payroll date, your first due date will be the succeeding payroll date.
