A New PayLater For The New Normal

This is Cashalo’s tagline as they launched their installment program. The new and improved PayLater program is a flexible credit line that you can use to purchase your daily needs. This credit line can be used when buying items from Cashalo e-store or partnered merchants offline.

What makes the new PayLater different from the previous facility is that it brings not just more partner merchants but also higher credit limit of P2,000. This way, you can shop (responsibly, please) from your favorite stores and stretch your budget for a couple of months.

Anyone can apply for Cashalo’s PayLater program as long as you can provide the requirements needed. Simply download the app, complete your user profile, and then apply for a credit line. You will receive a notification stating that you can now use your credit line.

If you already have a Cashalo account, then you can still apply. Just make sure you don’t have an outstanding balance so you can apply for this facility.

Cashalo PayLater Features:

• Monthly interest rate: 4.5 percent
• 0% interest IF the loan is paid on or before the due date or within 30 days from the start of the billing cycle. For instance, if your loan started on January 1, then you need to pay for it on or before January 30 to enjoy 0% interest.
• Processing fee: 4 percent
• Changes in credit limit may be possible after a month or every billing cycle
• Cashless transaction wherein you can present the voucher code or scan the QR code to pay for your purchases
