Loan repayment

Loan repayment methods

Regular repayment

The repayment (level payment) amount is deducted monthly from your salary through the school office. You may additionally repay twice a year in January and July along with the monthly repayment when you have applied for a semi-annual repayment plan in advance. The semi-annual repayment cannot be applied or cancelled, once repayment started.

Voluntary repayment

You may repay the whole or part of the remaining balance of loan. Request must be filed by the 15th of the month. When the date falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date shall be the day before the weekend or holiday.

Immediate repayment

When you lose your membership due to retirement or other circumstances or when you become a voluntary continued member, you are requested to immediately repay the loan outstanding. The amount shall be deducted from your retirement benefits or other benefits through the school office. When you are employed by another private school immediately after retirement and are reauthorized as a member there, you may maintain the repayment schedule through your new school.

Points to note regarding repayment

  • You will be subjected to immediate repayment when you have violated our loan policy even if you don't lose your membership.
  • When you receive retirement allowance while you have an outstanding Home loan, the outstanding loan shall be deducted from the retirement allowance even if you continue to be a member.
  • When your position has been recategorized as special school personnel while you have an outstanding Home loan, you are subjected to immediate repayment in principle. However, you may resume the repayment schedule by so requesting through the school office.
  • Repayment(regular repayment, voluntary repayment, or immediate repayment) shall be made through schools. to PMAC.
  • Once your loan has been decided and the payment has been made, it cannot be canceled.
    Make sure you have worked out a reasonable repayment plan before using the member loan services.

Loan repayment at retirement

When you retire (or, you become no longer eligible as a member) while you have an outstanding loan, it must be paid off in a lump-sum. The amount shall be deducted from your retirement allowance or other payments and be remitted to us. There are two types of repayment: voluntary repayment and immediate repayment.

Voluntary repayment

Upon receipt of your “Request Form for Voluntary Loan Repayment / Group Credit Life Insurance Withdrawal” on or before the 15th (Note1) of the month of retirement through your school office, we will send the “Voluntary Loan Repayment Advice” with a money-transfer slip to your school office. The school office will then deduct the amount specified in the money-transfer slip from your retirement allowance or other payments for remittance.

Immediate repayment

Upon confirming your membership disqualification, we will send your school office the “Immediate Loan Repayment Advice” with a set of money-transfer slips with different payment dates and amounts (see the example below). From your retirement allowance or other payments, your school office will deduct the amount specified in each slip for remittance and remit it according to the due date specified therein.
