All about credit card rate<br>
What's the thing that is most prominent on any credit card ad? Well,
it's the credit card rate (or the APR, as we know it). The credit card
rate is the most publicized thing in the world of credit cards. A lot
of people just compare the credit card rate of various credit cards and
just go for the one that is offering the lowest credit card rate (or
APR). Credit card rates are, in fact, one of the most important factors
in the selection of a credit card (though not the only factor).
Therefore, a proper understanding of Credit card rates is even more
necessary.<br>
So, what is a credit card rate or APR? Very simply, credit card rate is
the rate of interest that the credit card supplier will charge you with
on the amount you owe them. The credit card supplier will charge you an
interest only if you do not make full payments in time. When you
receive your credit card bill, it specifies the full amount you owe the
credit card supplier. It also specifies the minimum payment that you
must make (by a particular date), in order to avoid incurring a late
fee and other inconvenience. You have the option of making either a
full payment or just the minimum payment. If you make a full payment
(by the due date), you are not charged any interest. However, if you
decide to go with the minimum payment or some amount that is lesser
than the full amount, the credit card supplier will charge interest
based on the credit card rate and the balance amount. This credit card
rate is the interest rate that you agreed with them at the time of
applying for the credit card. The credit card rate or the annual
percentage rate, as is obvious, is an annual interest rate. The credit
card suppliers use this annual credit card rate to calculate the
monthly credit card rate and then they calculate the interest on the
balance amount that you owe them. The balance amount here is simply =
Full amount - (payment made by you). This interest is added to your
balance for the next month (at the time of next billing cycle). If you
again make a partial payment, the new balance is calculated again and
the credit card rate (monthly one) applied to it for calculation of new
interest; and it keeps going on and on until you make the full
payment....<br>
