The Co-Borrower Loan Agreement is a crucial financial instrument used in the Philippine lending landscape when multiple parties wish to jointly secure a loan from a financial institution or private lender. This document type is commonly used in situations where additional borrowing capacity or security is required, such as family members co-borrowing for a home loan, business partners securing business financing, or when a primary borrower needs additional support to qualify for a loan. The agreement must comply with Philippine banking regulations, the Truth in Lending Act, and the Civil Code's provisions on joint and several obligations. It includes comprehensive details about the loan terms, interest rates, repayment schedules, default provisions, and the specific obligations of each co-borrower. The document is particularly important as it creates legally binding obligations on all co-borrowers, making each equally responsible for the entire loan amount.
