With Tala’s updated pricing, you will see two types of fees the next time you borrow:
You will still be able to cash out the full amount that you borrowed with no deductions since the processing fee and your daily service fees are collected on your repayment date.
Tala’s new pricing takes effect starting October 6, 2023.
If you have an outstanding balance on this date, the total amount that you need to settle on your repayment date will not change. The new pricing will take effect the next time that you borrow.
If you don’t have an outstanding balance as of October 6, you will experience the new pricing when you borrow again from Tala.

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 Fee | 0.43% 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 texas, 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.
