It’s a program where you start with a smaller loan so that we can get to know you better. When you reach new levels, you’ll unlock bigger Tala loans that can grow up to ₱15,000. Through the starter loan program, you’ll be able to increase your loan limits and unlock more flexible terms as you grow with Tala.
For some Tala applicants, we need to get to know you a little more before we can offer you a higher loan limit. We want you to grow with us, so just repay on time to see your loan limits grow.
Starter loans have a maximum duration of 15 days, but you can repay earlier if you can.
For each day that you have an active loan, a daily fee of 0.5% will apply up until day 15. This means that the earlier you repay your loan in full, the less service fees you’ll pay!
With Tala loans, there are no access fees, processing fees, or any other hidden fees, so you can be assured that you only pay for the service of using a loan.
Once you accept your starter loan, you’ll see a section on your Tala app home screen called “My Tala Journey.” Tap on this section to see how you can grow your loan limit. Once you complete your journey, you can grow your loan limits with Tala up to ₱15,000.
When you disburse your Tala loan to your Tala account, you don’t have to pay any transaction fees. Your Tala account is available to right after your Tala application is approved and you can use it to:
We recommend that you keep a personal calendar to remind you of when your due date is, and when you expect to receive the funds that you will use to repay. This will help you plan properly.
Tala will also send you helpful tips and reminders to keep you on track, so please keep your communications lines open and turn on notifications for your Tala app.
You can claim your loan conveniently through the following channels which are available nationwide:
This will depend on your chosen disbursement channel. There are no deductions if you disburse your loan to your Tala account. Some other options like Coins.ph are free to use while banks and padala centers may charge a minimal transfer fee.
The best way to grow your loan limit is to consistently repay your loans on or before the maximum duration date of 15 days. Your first loan with Tala is just the initial stepping stone. Make it a habit to always pay early or on schedule to build good credit standing and to help increase your loan limits over time.
Yes, you can always pay for your loan ahead of the 15-day repayment due date. In fact, repaying your loan earlier means that you will pay less for service fees. Remember, you’ll only pay for the days that you have an active loan.
No. If you repay early, your daily fee will not change, but you will pay a smaller total amount of fees because you’re using the loan for a shorter period of time.
For example: Your loan amount is ₱400, your daily fee starting day 1 until day 15 is 0.5% or ₱2:
