hi all,
anyone know what are the T&C for
Interest Free Period?
I only got this
http://www.ocbc.com.my/assets/pdf/Credit%2...d%20Charges.pdfAlready found it.
for the benefit of those who did not find it.
This is a standard feature for all CC in MY.
Basically it means that, if you have fully settled all your previous balances, you will have a so-called interest free period for a period of 20-days from the Statement Date.
Eg. Billing Date is on 10th of the Month.
You swipe on 8th of Jan. Transaction Posted on 8th, captured say on 9th
Statement Dated 10 Jan arrives on 14 Jan
You have 20-days from Statement Date to pay, i.e. interest free until 30 Jan
This also means that if u can time your purchases carefully, this can be extended to 50-days, 30-days for the Billing Cycle and 20-days from the Statement Date.
This also means that u should always pay in full, else, you will be charged interest from the date of your retail spend. It was not always like this, back in my days of CC, even if u don’t pay in full, you still get the 20-days Interest Free.
Same eg. above
First Transaction on 8th Jan – Captured on 9 Jan and appear in Jan 10 Statement
Next Transaction on 11th Jan, captured on 12 Jan and will only appear on Feb 10 Statement with Due date on say 2 March.
