- Selected transactions: Choose up to 5 credit card transactions on the selected card (including both Principal and Supplementary Cards).
Step 4: Select your desired tenure and click submit
Is there a minimum amount and/or tenure to take up UOB SmartPay?
Yes, you can apply for UOB SmartPay if your total credit card outstanding balance or the total amount of your selected transaction(s) is a minimum of S$500 and choose an instalment plan with a minimum tenure of 3-months.
Do I need to use a particular UOB credit card or purchase from a selected merchant(s) to apply for UOB SmartPay?
UOB SmartPay is only available to UOB Personal Credit Cards and is not available to UOB Commercial Cards. You are allowed to convert amounts spent on retail transactions with any merchants.
Only amounts spent by way(s) of cash advance, balance transfer, instalment payment plan, interest free loan, SmartPay, fee or interest-related transactions cannot be converted into SmartPay.
How do I know how much my monthly instalments are?
Each instalment is calculated by dividing the converted amount by the instalment period evenly and posted to your card on a monthly basis.
What is converted when if I choose to convert my current outstanding balances?
For conversion of total outstanding bill across all credit cards, your total amount converted would be the sum of all SmartPay eligible transactions across all your UOB Credit Cards. For full list of transactions not eligible for UOB SmartPay, please view the UOB SmartPay Terms & Conditions here.
How do I know my application has been approved?
An approval SMS will be sent to your registered mobile number one (1) working day from your time of application to inform you if your application has been approved or rejected.
How do I calculate my new Current Statement Due if my UOB SmartPay application has been approved before my Statement Due Date?
If SmartPay is approved between Statement Generation and your Statement Due Date (E.g. Statement generated on 12 Apr with Due Date on 2 May, SmartPay approved on 18 Apr), your amount due by your Due Date will be less the amount you have converted to SmartPay. You may check your UOB TMRW app transaction history for the amount that was successfully converted.
To calculate your revised Current Statement Due and Minimum Payment Due, use the below calculations as an example:
Amount to be paid by Due Date: $6,000
Minimum Due: $180 (3% or $50, whichever is higher)
Scenario 1:
After conversion of $6,000 to UOB SmartPay:
Minimum Payment Due: $180 (As per the minimum payment due computed before SmartPay conversion)
Amount to be paid by Due Date*: $180
Scenario 2:
After conversion of $3,000 to UOB SmartPay 6-month plan:
Minimum Payment Due: $180 (As per the minimum payment due computed before SmartPay conversion)
Amount to be paid by Due Date*: $3,000
*Note that in the event full payment of the amount due by the Due Date is not received, this would be deemed as partial payment and relevant fees and charges would be levied.
How do I tell if the transaction is a SmartPay transaction?
Upon successful application with UOB, the 1st instalment of Smartpay transaction and the Admin Fee payable will be reflected on your statement as per the below as an example:
ADMIN FEE – SMARTPAY
UOB SMARTPAY 01/12
Monthly instalment will be reflected in subsequent statements as UOB SmartPay.
How do I tell if the transaction is an Installment Payment Plan (IPP) transaction?
Upon successful payment by Instalment Payment Plan (IPP) at the merchant , the 1st instalment of the IPP transaction will be reflected on your statement as per the below as an example:
