Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best bank for a van loan in 2026?
For vans priced ₱1,500,000–₱3,000,000, top banks include RCBC (5.35% p.a.), Metrobank (5.49% p.a.), and BDO (6.88% p.a.). The best rate depends on your income and credit profile.
How much is the monthly payment for a van?
Monthly payments for vans vary by price and term. A ₱1,500,000 vehicle at 8% p.a. over 60 months costs roughly ₱27,000/month after 20% down.
Can I finance a used van through a bank?
Yes, most banks finance used vans that are no older than 7–10 years at loan maturity. Rates for used units are typically 2–5 percentage points higher than new.
What down payment do I need for a van?
Standard down payment is 20% of the selling price. On a ₱1,500,000 van, that means ₱300,000 cash upfront.
Is it worth financing a van vs paying cash?
Financing at 7–8% p.a. over 48 months adds about 15–20% to the total cost vs. cash. If your savings earn more than 8% annually or you need liquidity, financing can make financial sense.
