Credit card fees and charges:
Interest calculation and charges
Interest is charged on all transactions, handling fees and default charges starting on the date that they are posted or applied to your account and ending on the date that you pay the total account balance in full.
You will not be charged interest on the card purchases shown on your current statement, if you pay off the total account balance shown on that current statement by the payment due date shown on that statement, provided you have also paid off the total account balance shown on the previous month’s statement by the payment due date shown on that statement.
We calculate interest each day so the earlier you make the payment, the less interest you will have to pay. Other transactions such as cash withdrawals and gambling will accrue interest daily. Interest will appear as a “finance charge” on your statement.
