EastWest Credit Cardholders qualified for the BNPL promo will enjoy two (2) months payment deferment on their new retail or straight charge transactions. New retail transactions may include local and foreign retail purchases, online and mail-order/telephone-order transactions forming part of the Cardholder's latest Statement of Account (SOA) and/or the Cardholder's current unbilled retail transactions during the promo period.
Installments, Quick Bills, auto-charge and cash advance transactions, auto-charged insurance premiums, fees and charges are not eligible for BNPL. As such, these will be billed on a BAU (business as usual) basis, included in the Minimum Payment Due computation, and subjected to finance charge computation, if applicable.
Retail transaction/s must be at least Php5,000 to qualify for BNPL. Eligible transactions under the promo will be subject to two (2) months payment deferment and will be re-billed in three (3) equal monthly installments.
Qualified Cardholders may avail of BNPL by searching for EW Credit Cards in Facebook Messenger and chatting with ESTA, our EastWest System Tech Assistant. Once logged into ESTA, they must go to the Installments menu and choose ConvertToInstallment.
Aside from the 2-month payment deferment, qualified EastWest Credit Cardholders will also enjoy 0% interest on a 3-month installment term for transactions applied for BNPL.
0% interest is applicable if the Cardholder pays his/her monthly installment in full**.
Example: BNPL Amount = Php9,000
Term = 3 months
Monthly Installment = Php9,000 / 3 = Php3,000 per month for 3 months
The first monthly installment due on the BNPL transaction will be billed to the Cardholder starting on the third statement cycle following the BNPL transaction date and will continue every month thereafter until the BNPL transaction is paid in full.
The Cardholder acknowledges that the BNPL application is based on his/her instructions and has no implication on his/her relationship with any merchant or establishment.
Cardholder must allow at least five (5) banking days for the processing of the BNPL application.
The total amount of transactions applied for BNPL shall be deducted from the Cardholder’s available credit limit.
A processing fee of Php500 will be charged for each approved application.
EastWest has the sole discretion to approve or reject the Cardholder's BNPL application and, if such application is denied, EastWest has no obligation to furnish the Cardholder a notice or reason for such rejection. In case the BNPL application is denied, applicable finance charges, if any, shall be imposed.
Should the Cardholder's EastWest Credit Card account be suspended, cancelled or not renewed, or should the Cardholder fail to make payments, breach or violate the Terms and Conditions Governing the Issuance and Use of EastWest Credit Cards, all unpaid BNPL availments, as well as the entire outstanding balance in the Cardholder's EastWest Credit Card account, shall immediately become due and demandable.
In case of partial payment by the Cardholder of the installment amount, the unpaid balance shall incur the usual finance charges imposed on revolving accounts in accordance with the Terms and Conditions Governing the Issuance and Use of EastWest Credit Cards.
If the Cardholder pays the installment amount in full per month but has an outstanding or revolving balance on his/her previous/other purchases, said installment amount under the program shall likewise incur finance charges.
In case of pre-termination, the Cardholder agrees to pay an Installment Pre-termination Processing Fee equivalent to 5% of the remaining principal balance or Php500, whichever is higher.
