RBL Bank Credit Card Interest Rate

RBL Credit Card Interest Rate

Transacting using a credit card is easy and hassle-free. However, you can only utilise it to purchase items within the pre-set credit limit on the card. Also, it is essential to remember to pay the bill within the interest-free period. Failing to do so and missing the payment due date can result in the addition of credit card interest to the total bill. In other words, a credit card interest rate is the rate at which interest is calculated on your utilised credit value when you default on paying your credit card bill within the payment due date.

What is RBL Bank Credit Card Interest Rate?

The monthly RBL Bank Credit Card interest rate is at an APR of up to 3.99%. Such a rate will be applicable in the below-mentioned scenarios-

• Cash withdrawals on your RBL Bank credit card is charged from the transaction date to the date of repayment. (look out for the interest-free cash withdrawal window)

• As the RBL Credit Card interest rate is applied on the total outstanding bill from the transaction date, partial clearing the dues does not eliminate the interest charges; hence, the remaining bill accrues interest charges till the next due date

• Carrying the outstanding amount into the next statement cycle will also incur interest rate on RBL credit card bill.
