Thanks for this! Paid my quarterly premium (Sun Fit and Well Advantage 10) via BPI Online. Gaano katagal po bago magreflect as paid sa Sunlife portal website? Thanks.
Hi Red. It may take 2 to 3 business days. Thanks 🙂
Hello Federico, Im confused lang, sa portal kasi nakalagay pwede bayaran ang VUL using CC. Pero may nakikita ako sa comment asking this pero sagot is for traditional lang? Thank you
Hi Rodel. Previously, it is not possible. Now, you may pay it using your cc. You may ask your advisor for further assistance on this. Thanks 🙂
Hi Sir Federico. Can I pay Sunlife Grepa Power Builder 10 also this way? Thank you 🙂
Hi Rosalie. It only applies to Sun Life issued policies. I don’t have an idea of how it works with Grepa. You may reach out to your advisor to get some help. Thanks 🙂
Hi sir. I have a Sunlife Maxilink Prime, can I pay it using RCBC JCB credit card. Also, why is “Pay Now” button disabled when I try to access it.
Hi Lhadel. Currently, we are only accepting Visa and MasterCard cc. If you want to know your other options, just feel free to connect with your advisor. In case, he is not around anymore, just reach out to me on FB so I can extend my help to you. Thanks 🙂
Hi Federico, I just read your blog specifically the step by step payment using Gcash. I already paid an hour ago via Gcash (first time to pay using Gcash as the mode of payment) but the info/payment process is different from what you posted. Will my payment be still credited?
This is the process I followed: (which was forwarded to me)
Gcash
-bank transfer to RCBC
– Account Name: Sun Life of Canada Phils. Inc.
– Account Number: 3-00100843-8
I hope you could help me with this. Thank you!
Hi Lea. I’ll assume you already have a policy with Sun Life. The post is for those who are paying their renewals. The one you just did is suitable if you are applying for insurance. So what can you do to have it credited to your account? Send your payment confirmation to your advisor and ask for assistance. It is because you deposited your payment to Sun Life instead of paying it as a biller. Thus, your payment will float in the system because there’s no policy number, where it will be credited.
Thanks 🙂
Sir pwede po payment coins.ph?
Hi Jerald. If you can see the biller “Sun Life of Canada (Philippines) Inc.” then you may pay it using coins.ph. Don’t forget to take a screenshot for reference. Thanks 🙂
Hi Sir Federico. I pay quarterly for my Sun Life. Is it okay to pay 2-3 months (or even more) before the due date? like through GCash? thanks.
Hi Paul. Are you referring to a VUL plan? If yes, you may do so. VULs are flexible in terms of payment. Thanks 🙂
Hi Federico. Good day, my Sun Life payment was due last April 18, I’m having a hard time to go to Banks due to Covid 19 and lockdown..can I pay at SM bills payment and Savemore?
Hi Apple. Yes, you may still settle your balance through SM Bills if that is workable with you. Keep safe 🙂
Good day po! Naglapse po ako sa payment ko close pala kasi ang office ng sunlife where I usually pay dahil sa COVID at late ko na nalaman na pwede pala sa gcash. Payable paba for the next month at wala po bang consequences?
Hi Mariesh. We do understand the struggle and confusion this COVID-19 has brought to our clients. That’s why Sun Life extended the grace period to 90 days. It means that you can still settle your premium due just like you did before.
Keep safe 🙂
Hi Sir Federico. Can I pay my Sun Maxilink Prime Plan using RCBC Bankard credit card? Thank you 🙂
Hi Ronilo. You may use any Visa or Mastercard CC. Thanks 🙂
Hi Federico. Can I pay my plan in the western union? Thank you.
Hi Lyn. Currently, it’s not possible to settle your premium via western union. However, you may try SM Bills payment, GCash, Paymaya, etc. Thanks 🙂
Hi Sir Federico. May I ask if, which of does have a service fee? For example, bank charges when you pay thru banks? Thank you very much for your super nice article 🙂
Hi Leyn. Most banks don’t charge a service fees for renewals for as long as you enrolled your policy as a biller first. I hope it helped you. Thanks 🙂
Hello Federico. Can I pay my plan monthly hindi buong premium ung babayaran?
Hi Eian. Yes, you can pay it monthly if it’s more sustainable for you right now. If you wish to make an auto-debit arrangement, just connect with your advisor. Thanks 🙂
Hi Sir,
Any idea how to change my mode of payment in Sun Life Financial portal? currently, i’m paying by quarter for a premium product. Can I change it to annual payment? Thanks.
Regards,
Harvey Cerad
Hi Harvey. You may ask your advisor for applicable forms to process your request. But if it’s a VUL plan, you don’t need those forms. Just proceed in paying to your new and desired mode. Thanks 🙂
Hi Sir Federico. Your article is spot on. If I may ask, can I pay thru coins.ph? Thank you so much for your kind assistance.
Hi Pat. Yes, you may. Thanks 🙂
Hi,
Was there any charges/convenience fee when paid thru Paymaya/Gcash?
None bro. Thanks 🙂
Please update your instruction for BDO Online banking. There is no such thing as Sun Life Canada. Be responsible and do your job well.
Thanks, Melvin for your keen eyes. Btw, you should be looking for Sun Life of Canada (Philippines) Inc. just as mentioned on the blog and what you can see in the pictures above. Sometimes we tend to do shortcuts when typing, I’m guilty too. I hope you sort it out. And oh, you can always ask your advisor for guidance too.
Hi sir, what happen if i miss one year of payment?
Hi Mirasol. It will depend on the plan and how long you are paying it. You may consult your advisor if you have to have your plan checked. Thanks 🙂
how about paymaya?
Hi Roy. Btw, I just updated my blog post including your option of paying your premium via PayMaya. Thanks 🙂
Federico, how long it will take to see the adjustment on my policy if I used Paymaya as a payment option for my premium?
Hi Ariel. It will take 2-3 business days for your payment to be reflected on your account. If you want same day posting you may go to any Sun Life payment centers. Thanks 🙂
Sir is possible to pay my insurance using credit card? Iam actually outside the country .. thanks
Hi Delwin. You may pay your insurance plan via credit card only if it is enrolled in an auto credit arrangement. You may ask for forms from your servicing advisor. Thanks 🙂
Can I pay via Paymaya?
Yes, you can 🙂
Hi Federico. I paid for my Sunlife via Paymaya. How long will it take to reflect on Sunlife transaction history?
Hi Paul. It may take 2-3 business days before posting it on the system. Thanks 🙂
I paid my monthly premium online via BPI . How would I know if the payment is posted? Will I receive notification from Sunlife? and how long does it take for may payment to be posted?
Hi Grace. Your payment will be posted in 2-3 business days and you will receive a confirmation text/email once your payment is credited to your account. Thanks
Hi Federico, I paid last June 1 via BPI online and have not received any confirmation yet from Sun Life. Thanks 🙂
Hi Maria Victoria. It may take a while in getting your payment posted. But if it yet not posted after another week, you may contact your advisor or the customer service to help you out with your concern. Thank you 🙂
hi! i have 2months delayed payment. just payed 1 month of it. will it be cancelled? vul plan. no notification received from sunlife if my payment already credited
Hi Kristine. You probably made a deposit instead of using the bills payment facility. You may kindly contact your Sun Life advisor to have your payment duly accredited to your account. Thanks!
Is it okay to put the exact amount of payment? (ex.3900) instead of putting the word PREMIUM? Thank you!
Hi Ermalane. You must put the amount of premium you’ll pay. Sorry for the confusion but thanks for pointing that out.
Hi. Can i pay thru rcbc mobile banking app?
Hi Charlene. Yes, you can pay your Sun Life plan thru RCBC bills payment facility. Thanks.
Hi, can I pay using my debit MasterCard from BPI? I usually pay cash through your business office in BGC, just wondering if I can pay with my debit card instead to avoid the hassle of bringing cash. Thanks.
Hi John. They only accept cash and check in our business office. Probably there are ATM’s around you may check that out as an option (I’m from Sun Life Makati so I can’t tell you if there is). Thanks!
Hi,
How do you cancel the ADA arrangement? I am concerned about my ADA because of the lack of information from my advisor and the bank as for asking about the status of my ADA. I paid the December premium policy and I didn’t know that the ADA pushed through since my FA & BPI can’t answer me properly. So, I just paid twice for the month of December. What will happen to my excess premium? Since I have the ADA already, I am concerned that it will still debit my account for the next month. What I wanna know is how to cancel the ADA as well as what will happen to my excess premium? Can I just go to the any BPI to cancel my ADA, since it takes months just to have this process by my FA. And, she doesn’t know much about the process. Please advise me on how to proceed with my issues, thanks!
Hi Diana. When it comes to ADA, the bank approves the application. Sun Life and your agent will have no control over when it will be approved and yes it may take months. My suggestion is to keep your ADA if you are planning to pay it on a monthly basis. As for your payment, you should have waited at least 3 days after your due date to confirm that your account was not debited before proceeding in paying your dues. Don’t worry your excess premium will go to your investment fund. Thanks!
hi. for the auto-debit method of payment, can the premium be pay via auto-debit either thru bpi or citibank credit card? thanks.
Hi John. If it’s VUL you can do that. Please ask your Sun Life advisor to assist you. He will give you the forms you need to sign. Thanks!
If I pay via gcash, can I pay via gcredit also? Or is gcredit functioning like a credit card also, which isn’t allowed if my insurance is a VUL?
Hi.. Panu naman po when it comes to gcash? Ung ilalagay po bang account number dun eh ung policy number?
Nakalagay po kase dun, amount, account number at email address.
HI Jenna! Yes, just put your policy number as account number. Thanks!

Yes, if your plan is a traditional life insurance. No, if it’s a VUL plan.
Hi, how to pay thru cc?
Hi Ryan. Assuming that your plan is traditional policy then you may pay it with your cc just enroll it just like a biller. Thanks!
Good evening sir. What are the steps in paying online ?im overseas worker.please help me.thank you very much.
Hi Rowena. May I know what bank are you using? The general rule is to enroll it first and then pay it just like you are paying your utility bills online.
Hi Sir. I paid my premium last June 2 through BDO online payment which I usually do. My due is on June 9 yet may payment is still not reflecting in my Sunlife Account.
Should I worry or it’s normal due to this Covid Issue . Please advise, thanks and have a nice day.
Hi Mikoy. It may take 2 to 3 banking days before your payment can be posted. Thank you 🙂
Hi sir can I pay my insurance online? thank you
Yes, you can.
Hi, I have a question. I’ll be working overseas and I already have an insurance with you guys. My question is, with BDO Kabayan can I still pay via online even if I’m at overseas? I just opened one and I’m currently waiting for my debit card to be released. I used to pay via payroll account with Security Bank but now that I’m gonna leave PH, I’ll be changing to BDO Kabayan and it concerns me if I can also do the same so that it could be much convenient for me in overseas. Will appreciate your response. Thanks!
Hello Sir,
How can i pay if for example i am outside philippines and i don’t have any local bank account? Can i pay directly to the sunlife itself using my credit card?
Thanks so much.
Hi Maya. If you have a traditional plan then you can pay it with your CC but you can’t do this if it’s a VUL plan. You may coordinate with your Financial Advisor so he/she can assist you on this matter. Thanks!
Hi,
Do you have Sunlife agent/adviser in Singapore? Interested to get a policy. Thank you
Hi Raydee. I believe there are but for vacation only. Sun Life Phil and the rest of insurance companies are not allowed to accept any application signed outside our country. This is mandated by law and strictly implemented. If a policy is applied while outside the country, any claims under that policy are considered null and void.
Btw, you may get a plan once you take your vacation here. See you at the soonest time. Thanks!
Hi,
What a helpful article!
I do have a question lang, how many days before my payment reflect if I already made the payment via BDO online.
Thanks!
Hi Joe. Normally, it’ll take 2-3 working days before it can reflect on your account. Thanks!
Hi sir,
Can I pay in any SunLife office?
Hi Sir Pedro. You can pay at any Sun Life business center. Please note your policy number when paying. Thanks!

I am interested to buy a life insurance service from your good company. Please if you are able to send me an service illustration to familiarize on service & product.
Thank you.
