11. How do I increase my credit limit?
Your PayFlex powered by Boost credit limit is assigned based on your credit profile and information that we know about you and cannot be manually adjusted by request. However, the limit is subject to change from time to time.
1. What happens if I fail to make my payment? Can I still apply for instalment afterwards?
If you miss a scheduled repayment, a late payment charge of 1% per annum (calculated daily) will be applied to the overdue amount until it is fully settled. The charge stops once full payment is made.
If payment remains overdue beyond the agreed term, additional charges may apply under Boost Credit’s Terms and Conditions.
While payment is overdue, you will not be able to apply for any new instalment or transaction under the PayFlex facility until all outstanding amounts are cleared.
To avoid late payment charges and service disruption, we recommend enabling auto-debit through your linked debit card.
