These Terms and Conditions for Exclusive Credit Benefits (these “Credit Benefits Terms & Conditions”) shall supplement the Tala Account Terms and Conditions and the Tala Credit Advance Terms and Conditions, and shall govern the Exclusive Credit Benefits offered by Tala Financing Philippines Inc. (“Tala”) to users of the Tala Account who meet the eligibility criteria.
By your continued use of the Tala Account, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to abide by these Credit Benefits Terms & Conditions as may be amended or varied from time to time. Amendments or variations thereto take effect on their date of publication. Tala will take all reasonable measures to notify you of any such changes.

Eligibility Criteria
- You must have an active Tala Account.
- You must keep a minimum balance of PHP 1,000 in your Tala Account for at least 3 consecutive days to be eligible for the following Exclusive Credit Benefits offered by Tala. Your eligibility will begin on the 3rd consecutive day and will continue as long as you maintain a minimum balance of PHP 1,000 (the “Eligibility Period”).
