4. Is there a minimum income requirement?

Yes, the minimum gross income requirement is ₱180,000 a year, or around ₱15,000 per month.

If you’re an existing cardholder from another bank, you may qualify through a fast-track application by submitting your latest credit card statement without the need for proof of income.

5. How long does it take to process the application?

You can receive your UnionBank credit card application result in as quick as a few hours or up to 14 days, depending on how complete your documents are, your mode of application, and the loads of other applications to be evaluated.

If you’re an existing UnionBank client with a good record, approval can be faster.

No, the UnionBank Rewards Visa Platinum Credit Card comes with an annual fee of ₱2,500 for the principal cardholder and ₱1,250 for the supplementary cardholder.

Sometimes, UnionBank offers NAFFL or waived annual fee promos either through:

  • Signing up during a promo campaign
  • Spending a minimum amount within a given period (e.g., waive your annual fee if you spend 100x your AF during the current year)
  • Special limited-time offers

Check the latest UnionBank promo mechanics or contact their customer service to see if you qualify.

7. Can I request a supplementary card?
