*The Converted Monthly Factor Rate, is presented as a guide that can be used to derive the monthly installment (interest plus principal). Monthly Installment Due = {Principal Amount x [1+(Converted Monthly Factor Rate x Term)]}/Term

Where Term is the number of months that you will be paying for the Monthly Installment Due. It does not include the period covered by the first statement of account (period covered by the initial interest).

**The Effective Interest Rates (EIR) above are based on interest computed on a fixed 30-day period per month. The actual EIR of the installment transaction may be higher or lower as this includes the Initial Interest and Processing Fee.

The charging of the Principal Amount is deferred for the first statement of account and will begin on the second Statement of Account after the approval date, and an initial interest will be charged in consideration for the longer payment period provided to you to repay the Principal Amount. The initial interest is computed based on the actual number of days from the approval date of your Installment Transaction to your statement date, and will be charged on your first Statement of Account issued following the approval date. The initial interest is calculated by multiplying (i) the approved Principal Amount, (ii) the applicable monthly EIR, and (iii) the number of days from the approval date to the first statement date; and dividing the total by 30 days. It will be reflected on your Statement of Account as the charge on Month 0 [PayLite after purchase or Merchant Name Initial Int].

The Monthly Installments Due will be reflected on your second and succeeding Statements of Account after the approval date. Please continue to pay for at least the minimum amount due reflected on your statement of account before the due date to avoid unnecessary interest charges and late charge, and to maintain your credit history.

Important Note: The installments from your Citi PayLite After Purchase transaction are billed to your Citi credit card account monthly similar to a normal retail purchase, and are subject to the usual interest charge if you pay/had paid less than the Total Amount Due indicated on your current or previous monthly Statement of Account on or before the Payment Due Date. Usual late charges apply if you pay/had paid less than the Minimum Amount Due on or before the Payment Due Date.The Citi PayLite after purchase transaction may take more than the scheduled Term to pay off in full if only the Minimum Amount Due is paid.

  1. Citi PayLite after purchase is an installment facility wherein select Citi Cardholders of good credit standing, as determined by us in our sole discretion, may convert an unbilled straight single-receipt retail transaction and pay the same, together with applicable interest and other fees, on installment basis ("Installment Transaction"). Cash Advance and Installment transactions, Interest Charges, and fees are not convertible under the Citi PayLite after purchase Facility.

  3. You may apply to convert more than one (1) of your unbilled straight single-receipt retail transactions to Citi PayLite after purchase. If you request to convert multiple transactions to installments, the Principal Amount will be the total purchase price of all the transactions that you requested to convert in the same request.
  4. Points, rebates and miles ("Usage Privileges") earned from the transactions applied for conversion will be deducted from the Card account upon conversion, and will be earned back monthly in such amounts corresponding to the principal of the Monthly Installment Due billed. Earning and redeeming of Usage Privileges for the different Card products are governed by the respective Card’s terms and conditions.
  5. You expressly agree that charging of the Principal Amount is deferred for the first Statement of Account, and acknowledge that you will pay an initial interest in consideration of the longer payment period provided to you to repay the Principal Amount. The Monthly Installments Due will be reflected on your second and succeeding Statements of Account after the approval date, and the interest component of the Monthly Installment Due will be computed as set out below.
  6. The initial interest is computed based on the actual number of days from the approval date of your Installment Transaction to your first statement date after the said approval date. It will be charged on your first Statement of Account issued following the approval date. The initial interest is calculated by multiplying (i) the approved Principal Amount, (ii) the applicable monthly Effective Interest Rate (EIR) [computed as set out below] and (iii) the number of days from the approval date to the first statement date; and dividing the total by thirty (30) days.

    It will be reflected on your Statement of Account as the charge on Month 0 [PayLite after purchase or Merchant Name Initial Int].

  7. The Monthly Installment Due will be billed and reflected on your SOA after the Posting Date as [Installment Facility or Merchant Name (001:00x)] and so forth. You may compute the monthly installment due ("Monthly Installment Due" or "MID") using the following formula:

    Principal Amount x [1+(Converted Monthly Factor Rate x Term)]

    Term

    Where Term is the number of months that you chose for your Installment Transaction.

    The MID of your Installment Transaction comprises the billed Principal and interest components, which are computed on a diminishing balance basis. The Interest and principal components of the Monthly Installments Due vary each month and are computed as follows:

    1. Interest component:

      Prior month’s outstanding principal balance x monthly Effective Interest Rate (EIR), where monthly EIR = (1 + Annual EIR) 1/12 -1.

    2. Principal portion:

      Monthly Installment Due - interest component for the month.

    The Monthly Installments Due will be reflected on your second SOA from the approval date and succeeding Statements of Account as [PayLite after purchase or Merchant Name (001:00x)] and so forth.

  8. Your availment of the Citi PayLite after purchase means you agree to pay us interest on the Principal Amount on the dates specified in the SOA at the applicable Converted Monthly Factor Rate with a corresponding Effective Interest Rate per annum based on the outstanding principal balance and the Term.

    For example:

    Term* (Months) Converted Monthly Factor Rate** Annual Effective Interest Rate***
    3 1.00% 19.46%
    6 1.00% 22.29%
    12 1.00% 23.70%
    24 1.00% 23.84%

    *The Term in this table refers to the number of months that you will be paying for the Principal Amount and the applicable monthly interest. The Term does not include the period covered by the first statement of account (period covered by the initial interest).

    **The Converted Monthly Factor Rate (CMFR) is presented as a guide that can be used to derive the Monthly Installment Due (principal plus interest).

    ***The computation of Annual Effective Interest Rate includes a Processing Fee of Two Hundred Fifty Pesos (Php 250).
