Ya lor ... I see that 2,700 number as well. I have no idea what is that all about. Anyone ? If not have to call in CS. If really got that charge then thank god I did not apply for this card.
management charge = interest.
as HSBC Amanah the name suggest, it's an ISLAMIC BANK. so they can not directly use percentage of interest to times our outstanding balance and others.
so based on my understanding, 2700 is the standard rate of management charge used to times the percentage (%) of our outstanding balance.
ie. 18% P.A. outstanding balance Rm1000.
(2700 x 18%/12 months) = RM40.50. wait, are im doing the correct calculation?? it's bloody high!
if use conventional way,
interest is (RM1,000 x 18%/12 month )= RM15.
really need to investigate deeply b4 i got my card!!!
btw, today i received a SMS from Citibank, it's stated im just purchased airline tickets online using Citibank card. i was so shock, and with immediately i called back n found out!
the CS told me that, my number (which im used for almost 8 years) previous owner is also Citibank customer! tht's why im getting the SMS...
bloody hell... stupid bank!
