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

Let's say you have a $2,000 credit card balance and want to pay it off in 12 months with a 0% promotional rate.

2	$1,833.33	$166.67	$0.00	$1,666.66
3	$1,666.66	$166.67	$0.00	$1,500.00
4	$1,500.00	$166.67	$0.00	$1,333.33
5	$1,333.33	$166.67	$0.00	$1,166.66

12	$166.66	$166.67	$0.00	$0.00

In this example, you would pay $166.67 per month with no interest, paying off the balance exactly in 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Union Bank installment calculator work?

The calculator uses your current credit card balance, the number of installment months you choose, and the interest rate to calculate your monthly payment amount. It then shows you how your balance will be paid off over time.

Can I pay off my balance early with installments?

Yes, you can pay off your balance early. If you do, you'll only pay interest on the portion of the balance that wasn't covered by the installment. The remaining balance will be charged at your regular interest rate.

What happens if I miss a payment during the installment period?

If you miss a payment, you may be charged a late fee and your balance may be subject to your regular interest rate. It's important to make all payments on time to avoid these penalties.

Is there a fee for using the installment option?

Some installment offers may have a setup fee or other charges. Always review the terms and conditions of your specific offer to understand any fees that may apply.
