The Customer can utilise up to 50% of its credit limit (Easy Cash Limit) as a cash advance. The Easy Cash Limit is an aggregate limit and not a limit per transaction. The requested amount (principal amount) will be deposited in the Customer’s Wio Account on the same day.

3. Repaying your credit

Customers will be provided with a statement on the Statement Date selected by the customer each month, through the Wio app, and featuring all transactions carried out during the previous month from the approved credit limit. The statement will include transactions from all the virtual cards utilized by the customer where the spending has been from the approved credit limit.

All amounts outstanding under the credit limit and as shown in the statement become due on the Statement Date, however customers can choose to pay only part of the amount due (subject to a minimum 5% repayment, or AED 100 whichever is higher; if the total outstanding is less than AED 100, it must be paid in full) and roll over the remaining.

3.1 Repaying your easy cash

Wio will charge a daily interest over the principal amount (as informed in the Wio App prior to the deposit) from the date of the deposit until the date of repayment. If the Customer makes an additional request of Easy Cash within 30 calendar days from the first request, all deposits and accrued interest will be payable on day 30. Customer may repay Easy Cash at any given time within the 30 days period paying interest until repayment date only. When Customer repays Easy Cash in full, tenor for repayment will restart on the date of the next deposit.

The Bank may (at its sole discretion) grant a grace period to repay Eash Cash and it will be informed in Wio App. During such period, penalty fee will not be accrued (daily interest will be accrued in the same manner than original tenor).

Daily penalty fee will be payable at the end of the 30 calendar days tenor (or end of the grace period if applicable) if the outstanding balance is not fully repaid (principal amount and interest).
