If you need funds to supplement your income or to prepare for emergencies, you can rely on Tala to help you build financial security.
Tala empowers you by providing access to credit with flexible options, several opportunities for growth, and convenient ways to use your money.
We’re not just another lender in the market. Besides credit, you can now also use Tala for more financial transactions such as bills payment, cash transfers, and more. As your trusted financial partner, our mission is to support and guide you in managing your finances.
Tala’s credit line allows you to have more control and peace of mind with the following features and benefits:
A friendly reminder: In some cases, repeat access to your Tala limit may be subject to further review or certain exclusions.
When you borrow from Tala, you can select a repayment date that works best for you. The minimum payment period is 15 days and the maximum is 61 days.
Each time that you borrow from Tala, the following fees are also applied:
The total amount that you need to pay on your repayment date includes the following:
For example:
If you borrowed ₱2,000 and repaid it in full after 30 days:
Breakdown | Computation | Amount |
Borrowed Amount | As is | ₱2,000.0 |
One-Time Processing Fee | 3.99% x ₱2,000 | ₱79.8 |
Daily Service Fees | 0.43-0.5%x ₱2,000 x 30 days | ₱258.0 |
Total Payment | ₱79.8 + ₱258.0 + ₱2,000 | ₱2,337.8 |
Always borrow an amount that you know you can repay on time.
Even if you are approved for a bigger limit, you don’t have to borrow the full amount. We recommend that you start small and only borrow what you need.
For example: If you receive an offer of P3,000, you can choose to borrow only P1,500 if that’s only what you need.
It is always best to choose a repayment date that is aligned with your regular cash flow – whether it’s your salary, business income, allowance, etc. This allows you to be confident that you can repay on time, keep service fees within budget, avoid a late fee, and be able to borrow from Tala again.
For example: If you receive your salary on the 15th of each month, we recommend that you choose to repay on the 15th or 16th to ensure that you have enough funds for your repayment date.
To guide you, we’ll send tips and reminders through push notifications, emails, and texts, so please keep your communications lines open and turn on your Tala app notifications.
If it helps, we also recommend that you keep a personal calendar or set an alarm to remind you when your repayment date is approaching. This way, you can plan early, worry less, and avoid stressful situations.
Remember, the repayment date you chose is a commitment to yourself and to Tala. Sticking to your plan and repaying on time helps you practice good financial habits and allows you to maintain a good record
Yes, regularly updating your app to the latest version will allow you to enjoy the latest products, features, and benefits of Tala.
Your Tala Limit is the maximum amount that you can cash out. When you regularly repay on time, you get the potential to grow your limit up to ₱25,000.
Your Tala Limit is the maximum amount that you can cash out.
For example: If you have been approved for P2,000 on your first Tala application, your Tala limit is P2,000. You can choose to withdraw a partial amount or the full amount depending on your needs.
Access to a credit line simply means that you have repeat access to cash from Tala. This allows you to continuously borrow from Tala for a 2nd time, 3rd time, and so on, as long as you repay your outstanding balance regularly and on time.
For example: It’s like having a telephone line, a water line, or an electricity line, where you are given continuous access to services as long as you are able to pay the amount needed on the payment date.
Currently, you can only withdraw once and the maximum amount you can borrow is based on your approved Tala Limit. This is why it is important to select the right amount that you need before cashing out. To borrow again and access more cash instantly, simply repay your current balance.
You can claim your cash conveniently through the following channels which are available nationwide:
Tala does not make any deductions to the amount that you cash out.
However, when cashing out through certain channels, please note that transaction fees may be charged by our partners:
You can easily pay through Tala’s payment partners which are available nationwide:
For your security, please make sure that you only pay using Tala’s authorized payment channels and that you retrieve your reference number from your Tala app.
Yes, you can make partial payments until you complete the full amount. Many customers find it helpful to make small regular payments so that it’s easier and lighter on the pocket.
No, your daily service fee is fixed and will not change.
Please note that it will also continue to be charged daily until a maximum of 61 days or until you complete full repayment, whichever is earlier.
No. If you repay early, your daily fee will not change. However, you will pay a smaller total amount in fees because you are borrowing for a shorter period of time.
The best way to grow your Tala Limit (this is the maximum amount you can cash out) is to consistently repay on or before your repayment date.
Your initial Tala Limit is just a stepping stone. Make it a habit to pay on time to build good credit standing and to increase your potential to access a higher limit.
Tala Trivia: Many Tala customers double their limits in as fast as 4 months. Our most loyal Tala customers are also able to access a maximum limit of ₱25,000. You can grow like them too!
If you miss your repayment date, your daily service fee will continue to be added to your outstanding balance. This will be applied until a maximum of 61 days or until you complete full repayment, whichever is earlier. This is why we encourage you to repay as soon as you can to keep your total fees down.
Tala understands that unexpected situations or emergencies may prevent you from paying on time. If you have difficulty repaying in full, you can make partial payments and contact us for help at paymentsupport@tala.ph.
As your trusted partner, we will always be here to help. Our agents will do their best to listen to your concerns, and they will work with you to find a fair solution. The most important thing is that you reach out to us early if you have questions or concerns about repayment.
A one-time late fee of 5% will be added to your total balance if you repay late.
Remember that you are in control. So choose a repayment date that’s aligned with your cash flow and repay on time so that you can stick to your budget. This way, you’ll avoid getting a late fee and accumulating service fees.
After you repay your current balance, you’ll be able to borrow from Tala again instantly. Just a friendly reminder that certain exclusions apply and that your reapplication may be subject to further review.

As a friendly reminder, kindly note that in some cases, certain exclusions may apply and your request to borrow again may be subject to further review. For cases like these, reapproval may take more time.
No, we have improved our process so that you only need to submit a full application once, which is on the first time that you borrow from Tala. After that, you can borrow again instantly after you repay any outstanding balance you have.
Note: The next time you borrow from Tala, we may still ask you a few questions, but we promise we’ll keep it short. We just want to ensure that your information is up to date so that we can use this to assess if we can provide you a Tala Limit increase.
To increase your potential of receiving a higher limit next time, make it a habit to repay on time. The limit that we can offer may also depend on the latest information that you provide through the quick questionnaire for repeat Tala customers.
Yes, the processing fee is applied for each time that you borrow from Tala.
Currently, you can’t cash out from your approved Tala Limit more than once.
The good news is that you can get instant access to more cash and borrow again after you repay the full amount of your existing balance.
In most cases, if you consistently repay on time, you can borrow again instantly. However, certain exclusions apply, and there may be times when your application to borrow again may be rejected such as when there is potential fraud.
