Interest Free Period

Maximum 56 days for purchases if you pay your balance in full and on time, and have paid the previous month's balance in full and on time. There is no interest free period on cash advances or money transfers. Interest free period on balance transfers only applies during the introductory period.

Interest Charging Information

The periods over which interest is charged are as follows:

Purchases From transaction date Until repaid in full¹
Cash advances From transaction date Until repaid in full
Balance transfers From transaction date Until repaid in full¹
Money transfers From date debited to your account Until repaid in full¹


If the account is not fully cleared, interest will be charged on the average daily balance until full payment is made and credited to your account. Therefore, the longer you take to make a payment, the more interest will be charged.

¹If you pay the balance in full, any interest charge for the period from the previous statement to the date of full repayment will be debited the following month.
