Santa Claus comes around just once a year. In the meantime, there are Credit Cards.
IDBI Bank is among the top banks in the country that provides its customers a host of services that includes a wide range of credit cards. These credit cards are curated to fit the needs and requirements of the customers.
The credit cards offered by IDBI Bank also carry fees and charges, that includes an interest rate. This interest rate of your card is added to the transactions you make and is included under the ‘Total Amount Due’ in your credit card statement.
The interest rate on the IDBI Bank Credit Card is applicable if you have not paid your total outstanding amount or paid only a portion of your total outstanding amount as the minimum amount due.
For example, if the total outstanding amount on your card is Rs.8,000 and you paid Rs.2,000 as a partial payment. The remaining Rs.6,000 will be carried forward to next month’s statement and will attract a certain rate of interest.
In case you have paid off your total outstanding amount, IDBI Bank will not charge an interest rate on your credit card.
IDBI Bank calculates the rate of interest through the Annual Percentage Rate or APR. It is the total rate of interest applicable on your credit card per year.
The bank will charge a monthly rate of interest on the due amount daily. You can calculate the Daily Periodic Rate by dividing the Annual Percentage Rate by the total number of days in the year.
For example, if the monthly interest rate charged on your IDBI BANK credit card is 3%, the formula used to calculate the interest rate you land up paying on an average daily balance method is as follows:
Interest Rate = [(Total Outstanding Amount x 3% per month x 12 months) X number of days] / 365 days.
