Designed for both local workers and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), MP2 offers competitive dividend rates, zero tax on earnings, and maximum security for your hard-earned capital.
What is the Pag-IBIG MP2 Savings Program?
The MP2 Savings Program is a voluntary, special savings facility created by the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF / Pag-IBIG Fund). It is designed to help active members earn significantly higher returns on their savings compared to the regular Pag-IBIG savings scheme.
Key Highlights of MP2
- Government-Guaranteed: Your principal capital is 100% backed by the Philippine government, making it virtually risk-free.
- Tax-Free Dividends: Unlike bank deposits, which are subject to a 20% final withholding tax, all MP2 earnings are completely tax-exempt.
- High Dividend Rates: MP2 dividend rates are determined annually based on Pag-IBIG’s financial performance, historically ranging between 6% and 8% per annum.
- 5-Year Maturity: MP2 operates on a fixed 5-year lock-in period.

How Dividends Work: Annual Payout vs. 5-Year Compounding
When you open an MP2 account, you can choose how your dividends are paid out:
| Dividend Scheme | How It Works | Best For |
| Annual Dividend Payout | Dividends are deposited directly into your linked bank account or GCash/Maya every year. | Members looking for passive income or extra yearly cash flow. |
| 5-Year Compounding | Dividends are automatically reinvested each year, allowing your earnings to grow exponentially. | Long-term wealth building, retirement savings, or target milestone funds. |
Pro Tip: Choosing the 5-year compounding option yields a higher total payout at maturity because your dividends earn interest on top of interest.
Minimum Deposit and Maximum Limits
Minimum Contribution: ₱500 per deposit.
Maximum Contribution: There is no upper limit. You can deposit as much as you want, as often as you want.
One-time deposits over ₱500,000 require payment via personal or manager's check and proof of income/source of funds under Anti-Money Laundering (AMLC) guidelines.
