Pay your GCredit dues on time to avoid incurring penalties and additional charges. Here are the things that will happen to you if you do not pay your dues on GCredit on time:

When you do not pay your dues on time, your GCredit line will be suspended which means that you will not be able to use GCredit as a payment option.
2. Additional Charges Beyond Due Date
- Penalty Charges
You will be charged with additional penalty fees depending on the number of days it took for you to pay your GCredit dues beyond your due date. You will have to pay additional penalty charges on your next billing date. Here is a summary of the penalty charges you will have to pay on your next due date when you pay beyond your due date.

4. Bad reputation with other lending or credit agencies
Your GScore is shared with other lending or credit enterprises as mandated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
This means that if you did not pay your dues or you have outstanding dues, your GCash financial record will be shared with BSP and other lending or credit enterprises. This will make it harder for you to apply for credit/loans in the future.
