Santa Claus comes around just once a year. In the meantime, there are Credit Cards.
Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) credit card users can use any one of the online and offline methods to pay their card bills on time.
IOB typically sends credit card statements generated on 20th of every month to the registered e-mail ID or by ordinary post. The statement clearly indicates the total outstanding due on the card, minimum amount due, and the payment due date.
Failure to pay at least the minimum amount due on the IOB credit card would result in late payment charges. Typically, IOB charges Rs.100 as late payment fee. To avoid paying additional charges on your credit card make sure you pay the bill amount or at least the minimum amount due on or before the due date.
Listed below are different methods through which you can make your IOB credit card bill payment.
Let's look at each method in detail
Existing IOB accountholders, either savings or current, can utilise the IOB net banking facility to pay their credit card bill online. However, in order to use the facility, you must have registered your IOB bank account for the online banking facility.
Once you have access to IOB internet banking, follow the steps to pay your credit card bill.
Your IOB bank account will get debited with the bill amount instantly while your credit card account gets credited simultaneously.
NEFT funds transfer is another online bill payment method that allows non-IOB customers to make credit card payment online. You must have a savings/current account with any other bank and the associated net banking account to initiate NEFT funds transfer to your IOB credit card.
