Cashify Loan Requirements: Who Can Apply?
Quick answer: According to the store listings, you can apply for a Cashify loan if you are 18 or older, a Filipino citizen, have one valid government-issued ID and have a stable income. You also need a way to receive the money: a bank account, GCash or Coins.ph.
Requirements at a glance
| Requirement | What the listings state | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 18 years old or older | Your date of birth as shown on your ID |
| Citizenship | Filipino citizen | An ID that shows your identity |
| Identification | One valid government-issued ID | A clear photo of the ID |
| Income | A stable income | Your employment or income details |
| Payout account | Bank account, GCash or Coins.ph | An account in your own name |
These conditions come from the lender's own descriptions on Google Play and the App Store, so they are the best source we have. Meeting them does not guarantee approval, which is decided by the lender after evaluation. If you are comparing several apps, our Cashify page puts requirements and costs side by side.
What counts as a valid ID
The listings ask for one valid government-issued ID. They do not publish a full list of accepted IDs, so check the application screen for the options it accepts. In general, a valid ID is one that:
- is issued by a government agency,
- has not expired,
- shows your full name, photo and signature or other identifying details, and
- is clear enough to read in a photo.
Make sure the photo shows all four corners, with no glare or blur. The name on the ID should match the name you enter in the application.
Proof of income and what "stable income" means
The listings require a stable income but do not define it. In general, stable income means money you receive on a regular basis, such as salary from an employer, regular earnings from a business or steady income from freelance work. Be ready to describe your income honestly. Do not inflate figures, because a mismatch can cause delays or problems later. The approval decision rests on the lender's own evaluation; see how to get approved in Cashify for honest tips.
Device and app requirements
On Android, the Google Play listing shows that the app requires Android 5.0 and up. On iPhone, the App Store listing says the app is designed for iPhone. You will need an active mobile number, an internet connection and enough storage to install the app. For installation details, see Cashify Loan App Download Latest Version Android, iOS.
What happens after you meet the requirements
Meeting the conditions only lets you apply. The process then follows these stages: download the app, fill in the application, wait for evaluation, review the offer and, if you accept, receive the money. The steps are explained in How to Loan in Cashify Philippines, and the timing is discussed in Cashify approval time. The amount you may be offered falls in the published range of ₱1,000 to ₱50,000; see Cashify First Loan Amount and Cashify loan terms.
Common mistakes
- Using an expired ID or a blurry photo.
- Entering a name that differs from the ID, including spelling and middle names.
- Giving an account in someone else's name for the payout.
- Exaggerating income, which can lead to problems later.
- Applying to several lenders at once, which can leave you with several repayment schedules.
- Paying a fee to someone who promises approval. See How to Spot Fake Loan Apps in the Philippines.
- Downloading from a link rather than the official store.
If you do not meet the requirements
If you are under 18, do not hold a valid government ID or do not have a regular income, you may not be eligible for this app. You can wait until you meet the conditions, or look at other options, but be careful about borrowing from sources that ask for no checks at all, since these are often unregistered or unsafe.

Before you apply: a final checklist
- I am 18 or older and a Filipino citizen.
- My ID is valid, clear and in my name.
- I can describe my income honestly.
- I have an account in my own name for the payout.
- I have read the loan offer and know the total repayment.
- I am comfortable with the app permissions.
How to prepare your documents in advance
Gather what you need before you open the app. Take a clear photo of your ID in daylight on a plain surface, check that the text is readable, and make sure the ID is not about to expire. Write down your date of birth and ID number exactly as printed. Think about how you will describe your income, such as your employer and monthly pay, or the type of work you do if you are self-employed. Confirm the name and number of the bank, GCash or Coins.ph account that will receive the money, and check that the name matches your ID. A few minutes of preparation reduces errors and makes the whole application smoother.
Why honest information matters
Lenders compare what you enter with your ID and other checks. If details do not match, the application can be delayed or declined, and false information can create legal and financial problems later. Provide accurate details, even if the amount you are offered turns out to be smaller than you hoped. A lower, honest offer that you can repay is better than a higher one built on figures you cannot support. If your situation changes after you apply, such as a new phone number or a new job, update the lender through the official channels so that your records stay correct.
