    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.

  • Rodel Link Reply

    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 🙂

  • Rosalie Delos Reyes Link Reply

    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 🙂

    • Lhadel Link Reply

      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 🙂

  • Lea Romano Link Reply

    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 🙂

  • Paul Louie Link Reply

    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 🙂

  • Apple Pye Lingad Link Reply

    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 🙂

  • Mariesh Link Reply

    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 🙂

  • Leyn Link Reply

    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 🙂

      • Eian Link Reply

        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 🙂

  • Harvey Cerad Link Reply

    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 🙂

    • Pat Link Reply

      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.

  • Jums Devera Link Reply

    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.

  • Mirasol Link Reply

        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 🙂

    • Federico Suan, Jr. Link Reply

    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.

    • Federico Suan, Jr. Link Reply

      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!

  • Diana Rose Silverio Link Reply

    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!

    • Federico Suan, Jr. Link Reply

      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!

  • john Link Reply

    hi. for the auto-debit method of payment, can the premium be pay via auto-debit either thru bpi or citibank credit card? thanks.

    • Federico Suan, Jr. Link Reply

      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!

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!

      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

    • Federico Suan, Jr. Link Reply

      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!
