Hey guys, just asking, if I pay the statement balance in full (not the minimum balance) each month before the due date, why do I still get finance charge? I found a few oddities in my statement and when I asked them, the customer service replied as such:

QUOTE
Please be advised that finance charge will be computed on a daily basis
from the day the transaction was posted until the next statement date
(unless full payment is made, interest will be calculated until a day
before full payment). On top of that, finance charge will be imposed on
the previous month outstanding balance until a day before any payment
made. Should there is still remaining balance after payment is made from
the previous outstanding, finance charge will be charged on the
remaining balance until the next statement date.

However, upon evaluation of the account, we have waived the finance
charge. You may view the reversal in your next statement.


Can anyone help decipher? I'm using the cashback platinum btw.

If you pay the Statement Balance and on Due Date, you would not be charged Finance Charges.
Maybe you missed the Due Date (due to cheque clearance) ??

I used GIRO transfer, it was accepted before payment due date, happened a few times to my account already. =(

You transferred on the payment due date day? With GIRO, you need to have at least 1 day buffer for the transaction to be captured. Otherwise, you'll be fined for late payment.

But if it's late payment charges, it's stated differently than finance charges right?

It should be two different entries - late payment charge and financial charge.

I think they screwed up my statements two months in a row, I'll get them to reverse the charges. Hmm. Definitely not a good experience.
