Balance transfer

This card does not offer a balance transfer rate.

Cost to carry a balance
Interest for a year at 14.74%$442.20
Annual / periodic fees$0
Total yearly cost$442.20

Simple interest on a constant balance — a plain-language upper bound rather than an amortisation schedule. Paying in full each month within the 21-day grace period avoids the interest entirely.
