Credit Card Fees & Interest Rates

Are you familiar with the charges applicable on your Credit Card transactions? Given below are the six common types of Credit Card charges.

Joining Fee & Annual Fee

The Joining Fee is the initial cost of owning the Credit Card. It varies from bank to bank and also depends on the type of Card. It is usually followed by an Annual Fee.

Interest Charge Interest charges are levied on all new transactions and on outstanding dues, due to non-payment of the same by the due date. The maximum charge is 3.75% per month.

Late Payment Fee

If you are unable to pay the outstanding amount, the Bank will notify you to pay the minimum amount. In case you fail to pay the minimum amount, a late payment fee is charged.
