Step 1: Embrace the Digital Dragon (aka BPI Online/Mobile App)
First things first, you'll need to be a BPI Online or Mobile App user. Don't worry, it's easier than taming a real dragon (and probably less likely to involve singed eyebrows). If you're not already part of the digital fam, head over to BPI's website and get yourself signed up. It's like entering a financial Shangri-La, with bill payments, transfers, and who knows what other digital treasures waiting to be explored.
Step 2: Channel Your Inner Sherlock (The Bill Payment Detective)
Now, here's where the plot thickens (or maybe just thickens your wallet, depending on your spending habits). Log in to your BPI haven and navigate to the mystical land of "Payments" or "Load." Don't be intimidated by the fancy buttons and flashing lights (it's all very user-friendly, really). Look for the option to "Pay Bills," and then... drumroll please... unleash your inner detective skills! Search for "UnionBank Credit Card" as the biller. Remember, knowledge is power, and the name of the game is precise bill-payment targeting.
Step 3: The Grand Payment Finale (It's Not Rocket Science, Promise)
Once you've unearthed the "UnionBank Credit Card" option, it's smooth sailing from here. Enter your UnionBank credit card details like a seasoned pro (card number, statement date, amount you owe - the usual suspects). Double-check everything to avoid any unwanted financial surprises (like accidentally paying your neighbor's bill. Been there, done that, not a pretty sight). Then, with a confident click (or tap, if you're on the mobile app), confirm the payment and voila! You've successfully tamed the credit card beast... for now.
