What is a Modified Pag-IBIG 2 Savings Account?
The MP2 is an optional program that offers a larger earning potential than a conventional savings account, in contrast to the regular Pag-IBIG program, in which all working and self-employed Filipinos participate. Similar to investing in mutual funds, Pag-IBIG will invest your savings and generate income through dividends.
Since its debut, MP2 savings has been producing dividends that are tax-free and pay higher interest than typical savings accounts. Pag-IBIG MP2 dividend rate was 7.23 percent in 2019 and has traditionally risen year over year. Every year in March, the dividend rates are released. The announcement is posted on the Pag-IBIG website.
How Much Money May Pag-ibig MP2 Possibly Make?
As was previously indicated, your MP2 account will generate income through dividends, and the amount you receive will depend on how much money you have invested in MP2 and how long you have been investing. Pag-IBIG MP2 is a long-term investment; your ability to ride the market’s ebbs and flows and collect enough gains to offset the market’s losses will determine whether or not you ultimately benefit from its gains.
What are the Benefits of an MP2 Savings Account?
Higher Interest Rate Than a Regular Savings Account
As we mentioned, one of the biggest advantages of an MPI savings account is the higher interest rate. For example, in 2017 the dividend rate was at its highest at 8.11%. In 2021, the dividend rate was at 5.66%. Compared to other high-yield savings accounts, the MP2 program allows you to earn as much as 8% of your savings fund annually. The minimum monthly remittance of 500 is multiplied by 12 months to determine the average daily balance required for the MP2 to generate interest. Even though MP2 requires a larger overall average daily amount to receive interest than other banks do, the average annual yield is significantly higher.
You Can Withdraw Dividends Each Year or Compound Them for Five Years
Dividends from MP2 can be withdrawn annually or added to a savings account to generate compound interest. You can utilize the money to pay for necessities or emergencies if you wish to withdraw it immediately to your bank account. However, if you have it compounded for five years, you might anticipate earning more on your money.
You May Withdraw Your Funds Whenever You Want
You have the choice to withdraw your money at any moment even though MP2 funds can be kept for five years.
Government-Guaranteed
The government backs up your savings. But taking into account annual dividend performance and other factors, it can be subject to a different calculation method.
Simple Online Account Opening
You can be automatically enrolled and begin making contributions at any time by completing the online MP2 Savings registration form.
Who Can Enroll in MP2 Pag-IBIG?
If you fall under one of the following categories, you are eligible for the MP2 savings program:

Resuming payments till they achieve the minimum 24 monthly contribution criteria will allow inactive members who have ceased making Pag-IBIG contributions to join MP2 Pag-IBIG.
