- Proof of remittance, latest bank statement or pay slips if available
- Special Power of Attorney (Should be consul notarized) - if applicable, in cases of representatives applying for an OFW.

3) Collateral Requirements - There is a need to submit items for collateral, as a means of protecting the bank from high risk exposure. Collateral vehicles that can be submitted as collateral may be brand new vehicles, imported vehicles and even second hand vehicles. However, imported vehicles are subject to appraisal which may take time. Second hand vehicles are accepted for collateral provided that the age of the second hand car is less than the maximum allowed age for second hand cards, from the date of application. Example today is year 2008, if the maximum year allowed is five year old cars and below, then second hand cars that will be accepted for collateral must be from year 2003 to 2008 models.

4) Down payment
- The usual down payment required is from 20% to 30% of the selling price of the car, but still is on a case-to-case basis.
