Step 5: Enter your payment details
Now comes the most important part, which is entering your payment details.
Be sure to input the correct information, otherwise you will have to contact Home Credit for assistance. I once made a mistake of providing the wrong contract number, and had to call Home Credit to rectify the error.
First, enter the amount that you want to pay to Home Credit. It’s recommended to pay your full monthly installment to avoid unwanted penalties. Take note that there is an additional ₱15 service fee.
Provide the following payment details:
- Contract Number – Enter your 10-digit Home Credit contract number or loan account number. Don’t include spaces, hyphens or dashes (–).
- Mobile Number – Indicate your cellphone number where the payment notification will be sent.
- Email (optional) – Optionally, provide your email address where the receipt will be sent.
Press “NEXT” to proceed.
Step 6: Confirm your bills payment
Take the time to review your payment to Home Credit. Double-check that you have entered the correct contract number or loan account number.
When you’re ready to pay, press “CONFIRM.”
Step 7: Payment is successful
If everything goes well, your payment will be processed and posted within the next 24 hours.
Make sure to take a screenshot of the payment confirmation or download a copy of the receipt. You might need it in case there’s an issue with your transaction.
Once your payment has been posted, you will receive a payment confirmation email from Home Credit.
For faster and easier transaction the next time around, add Home Credit to your list of favorite billers. Just tap “Bills” and under “Favorite Billers,” tap “Add a biller.” Select “Home Credit” and enter your contract number and other required information.
You can also schedule a recurring payment so that your bills will be automatically paid by GCash. On the GCash home screen, tap “Bills,” select “Scheduled Bill Payments,” choose “Home Credit” and enter the payment amount, contract number and mobile number.
