Kung bago ka pa lang sa paggamit ng BPI credit card, isa sa mga pinaka-importanteng bagay na dapat mong malaman ay kung paano mag-check ng iyong credit card balance. Bakit? Dahil dito mo malalaman kung magkano pa ang available credit mo, kung gaano kalaki ang nagastos mo, at kung paano maiwasan ang sobrang bayarin at interes.

Para sa mga first-time credit card holders, mahalagang maintindihan ang iba’t ibang paraan ng balance inquiry. Sa blog na ito, ilalahad natin ang step-by-step guide sa lahat ng available options β€” mula online banking hanggang ATM, at pati na rin sa BPI mobile app.

What Is a Credit Card and How It Works

What Is a Credit Card?

A credit card is a financial tool na in-issue ng bangko tulad ng BPI. Sa halip na gumastos ng pera mula sa savings mo, uutangin muna sa banko ang ginastos mo at babayaran mo ito sa due date.

How a Credit Card Balance Works

Ang credit card balance ay ang halagang nagastos mo na at kailangan mong bayaran. Kasama dito ang:

  • Purchases gamit ang card
  • Cash advance transactions
  • Finance charges o interest (kung hindi nabayaran nang buo)
  • Fees tulad ng late payment o over-limit charges

Kaya’t mahalaga ang regular na balance inquiry para alam mo ang tunay na estado ng iyong credit card.
