A grace period is a short, agreed window after a payment falls due during which the payment can still be made without it being treated as missed or attracting a late charge. Not every agreement includes one, and the length varies by lender.
What a grace period is not
A grace period is not the same as a payment holiday or a permanent change to your schedule. It is simply a small buffer around the due date, where one exists.
Check your own agreement
Whether a grace period applies, and how long it is, depends on the terms of your specific facility. Always rely on your signed agreement rather than assumptions.
- It does not change the total amount owed.
- It may or may not apply to your facility.
- It is best treated as a safety margin, not a routine extension.
If you think you may miss a Credicorp payment, contact us early. We would rather talk through your options than have a payment quietly slip past its due date.
