How Credit Card Installments Work
When you choose to pay your credit card balance in installments, Union Bank typically offers a special promotional interest rate for the installment period. Here's how it works:
- Promotional Rate: You'll receive a lower interest rate for the installment period (often 0% for a limited time).
- Fixed Payments: Your monthly payment amount remains the same throughout the installment period.
- Interest Calculation: Interest is calculated daily on the remaining balance and added to your monthly payment.
- Early Payoff: If you pay off the balance before the installment period ends, you'll only pay interest on the portion of the balance that wasn't covered by the installment.
Note: Installment offers are promotional and may have specific terms and conditions. Always review the fine print on your credit card statement.
Monthly Payment Formula:
P = B × (r × (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Monthly payment
- B = Current balance
- r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
- n = Number of installment months
