Interest Charge
If the  payment made to the Credit Card by the Payment Due Date is less than the Total Amount Due, if no payment was made to the Credit Card by the Payment Due Date, or if a Cash Advance transaction has been made, an interest charge at the prevailing interest rate will be imposed on the:
a. Unpaid Cash Advance balance (inclusive of interest charges and fees) from the date of availment until both the Cash Advance balance    and its related charges are paid in full.
b. Unpaid balance (inclusive of interest charges and fees) stated in the previous statement of account and on all new transactions incurred within the current statement period computed from the transaction date until the current statement date.
No interest is charged if the Cardholder pays the total amount due in full on or before the payment due date and has not availed of any Cash Advance.
To compute for the interest:
Interest for the day
Step 1 : Sum all Retail Transactions, principal portion of all installment amortizations, any retail fees and non-interest charges for the day and the previous day's retail outstanding balance. Deduct any payments made during the same day, following the Application of Payments. This is the new retail outstanding balance.
Step 2 : Sum all Cash Advance availments and its related non-interest fees and charges for the day and the previous day's Cash Advance outstanding balance.  Deduct any payments made during the same day, following the Application of Payments. This is the new Cash Advance outstanding balance.
Step 3 : Multiply new retail and Cash Advance outstanding balance for the day by the applicable monthly interest rate and divide it by 30.  The result is the interest for the day.  The interest for the day will not be included in the outstanding balance until the statement date.
Step 4:The process is repeated daily until the next statement date.

The interest for the month is the sum of the interest for each day from the day after the previous statement date to the current statement date, and any unbilled interest charges for the previous month. On the statement date, interest charged on retail transactions will be added to the retail outstanding balance and interest charged on Cash Advances will be added to the Cash Advance outstanding balance, if any.
