This is a revolving and renewable credit line that a member can draw from tome time through a virtual card. Only the amount drawn is considered a loan payable in 12 equal installments with the latest drawdown as the period to be reckoned with to determine the installment schedule. As a result, balances on the previous drawdowns will be carried over to the new drawdown, and their term will be renewed and made to coincide with the period of the new one. As a revolving renewable credit line, payments on the principal loan will restore the line up to the extent of the principal repayment.
A feature of this virtual card is the convenience of receiving the proceeds of the drawdown in one’s virtual card which the holder can withdraw or make transfers through any of the banks in the PesoNEt network of the Central Bank or in any of the payment outlets in the country such as MLhuillier, Palawan, RD Pawnshop and many more.
