No, the credit card only needs to pay back the amount consumed during the billing period without any handling fees. If there is a handling fee, it is charged by the third-party platform, and the bank itself does not charge a repayment handling fee.
If you repay from a third-party platform such as Alipay or WeChat, the platform will charge a service fee of 0.1% of the repayment amount. Some platforms will give users a certain repayment limit, and the excess will exceed the repayment limit. A handling fee is charged.
