Globe introduces financial care program for postpaid subscribers
A safety net for postpaid customers during these trying times
During these difficult times, managing finances is a must especially with the troubled economy the country faces. In light of this, Globe has launched a financial care program to help postpaid customers manage their subscription plans while staying connected.
The financial care program caters to the individual needs of Globe Postpaid, Platinum, and Broadband subscribers, taking into account the financial situation of each individual. After an assessment, Globe may offer subscribers the option to lower their plan, disconnect their account temporarily, or transfer ownership.
Postpaid subscribers may apply for the program by heading to the Account Requests section of the GlobeOne app. Alternatively, they may fill out this form available on Globe’s website. Once they have applied, a Globe representative will get in touch to discuss the possible options for the subscriber.
Installment program
The telco is also offering further financial assistance for those who have already paid their installment through the Globe Installment Program. Installments are also available for subscribers with temporarily disconnected accounts.
They may also call 214 toll-free from any Globe mobile number for other financial alternatives.
Having a financial care program is godsent for Globe customers who have been weathering the tough times. This is true for those hit hard by the typhoons and flooding in Luzon. For those who wish to donate — especially to victims of Typhoon Ulysses — they may do so here.
