A Guide To Your Statements of Account Received During The Enhanced Community Quarantine
In line with the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act (RA11469), we had granted a grace period program for credit card
customers with payment due dates falling due within the period of March 17 to May 31, 2020. Customers received a
waiver of late payment fees, other fees, and interest on interest during the covered period.
Definition of Terms
This is the penalty incurred if you do not pay at least the Minimum Amount Due indicated in your Statement of Account
on or before the due date. It is a fixed fee of P850 or equivalent to the value of the unpaid minimum amount due,
whichever is lower, per card.
Interest on Interest:
Computations differ depending on the customer’s payment behavior prior to the covered period:
A. For customers who have been paying the Minimum Amount Due or less than the Total Amount Due prior to the
covered period, interest on interest is computed as Minimum Amount Due, less Installment Amortization (from
your previous Statement) x Monthly Finance Charge of 3.50%. This will not entail a full waiver of finance
charges.
B. For customers who have been consistently paying the Total Amount Due in full for the past 6 months prior to
the covered period (September to February), finance charges will be waived.
We have prepared sample illustrations below to help you understand the adjustments to your account related to the
granting of the grace period and reversal of said fees.

STATEMENT 1: The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for the Bayanihan Act was issued on April 1, 2020. Thus, the
March and April Statements of Account (SOA) with payment due dates within the covered period will still have regular
charges. Adjustments will be seen in the succeeding SOA.

the minimum
amount you
should pay on or
before your

penalties. It is
computed as
3.57% of your
Total
Outstanding
Balance, or 850,

higher.
STATEMENT 2: In this statement, you will already see some balance adjustment entries.
The Credit and Debit Adjustments are system-generated adjustments made in order to grant you
the 30-day grace period and maintain your current credit standing.
The amount adjusted is equivalent to the Minimum Amount Due reflected in your previous
Statement of Account (SOA).
The Credit and Debit Adjustments will always be reflected together in the same statement of
account and will reflect the same amount.
STATEMENT 3: In this statement, you will see the interest on interest reversals. It is computed as Minimum
Amount Due Less Installment Amortization (from the previous statement) x Monthly Finance Charge of 3.50%.
This does not entail full waiver of finance charges.
