Why can I not pay my renewal premium using the first two options?
Opening the credit card facility for VUL plan holders is possible to make it easier for you to do business with Sun Life.

Hi sir,
Good afternoon.
Can I still use my cc for payment 15days before due date?
There’s a note that says I can only use that facility 25 days before or 30 days after due date?
Thank you.
Yes, Gel. You may still use it. Call the hotline if you can no longer press the pay now button. You’re welcome!
Hi Sir Federico,
Tanong ko laang po sana kung paano bayaran ang insurance through credit card?
Hi Arnel. As of this moment, you can now pay using your cc via Sun Life mobile app or Sun Life client’s portal. If you need further assistance or other options, just feel free to connect with your advisor. Thanks 🙂
Hi Sir Federico. How many days should I pay my credit card if I use it in paying my policy?
Hi Kath. Ideally, you need to settle your dues before the due date. Sometimes it could a challenge as we become busy with our jobs and may miss our due date. When it happens, you have 30 days grace period to pay your balance. Thanks 🙂
Hi Federico. Can I pay my VUL premium thru credit card if it is above 100k?
Hi Lou. You may pay your plan up to Php 100k per transaction. It means that if you have a Php 200k plan with us, you may still settle it through credit card if it’s paid semi-annually (2 transactions) or quarterly. Anyways, if you have an existing plan, you need to enroll in an auto credit facility if you wish to settle it via a credit card.
Thanks 🙂
Hi Federico. Can I pay my Sun Life account using my Citibank credit card?
