The Monthly Effective Interest Rate (EIR) refers to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the life of the installment to the net amount of the installment proceeds.

The computation of the Monthly Installment Amortization shall be based on the diminishing balance method.

Interests on Cash Advances are computed from the transaction date.

22. PAYMENT FOR INSTALLMENT PROGRAMS. The corresponding approved principal amount and processing fee will be deducted against the Card Member’s available credit limit at the time of approval. The applicable interest will only be deducted from the Card Member’s available credit limit upon billing of the monthly amortization. A monthly interest rate based on prevailing rates will be levied on the amount applied for installment. The interest is computed by multiplying the principal amount with the monthly interest rate multiplied by the chosen payment term. The Monthly Amortization is computed by dividing the Total Amount Payable (Principal plus the Total Interest Rate) with the chosen payment term. Successive installment amortizations shall be billed to the Card Member in the succeeding Statement of Accounts until the Total Amount Payable is billed in full.

Portion of the monthly installment amortization shall form part of the Minimum Amount Due in the SOA. If the Card member opts to pay only the Minimum Amount Due or any amount below the Total Amount Due, only a portion of the monthly installment amortization shall be considered paid based on Application of Payment. The unpaid portion of the monthly installment amortization shall be subject to the regular finance charges.

If the Card Member chooses to pre-terminate the installment contract with Metrobank, a cancellation fee shall be billed to the Card Member. Any remaining balance (i.e. remaining principal amount based on Diminishing Balance computation and/or penalties, interest and other charges) shall be billed in the next statement cycle together with the applicable interest charge.

24. LATE PAYMENT FEE. If the Card Member fails to pay at least the Minimum Amount Due on or before the Payment Due Date, a late payment fee will be imposed on the Credit Card account and will be reflected in the next cycle’s SOA.

25. DISHONORED CHECK PAYMENTS. In the event of dishonor of check payments, a returned check fee plus applicable actual bank charges shall be imposed. The imposition of said charges shall be without prejudice to the right of Metrobank to:

40. CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION BY CARD MEMBER.
