Metrobank Travel Signature Visa downsides, and what a late payment costs
- The ₱5,500 fee is charged every year after the waiver ends.
If you pay late: Metrobank charges up to ₱1,000, and 3% a month interest runs on what is unpaid. Safe action: pay at least the minimum due (₱1,000 on a ₱20,000 statement) by the due date, or the full balance to pay no interest.
