1, the credit card will have an interest-free period, and if it is repaid before the repayment date, no interest will be generated. If the repayment is made in installments on time, there will be a handling fee, but if it is overdue, it will generate interest (and it is still a high interest rate).
2. The way for banks to charge overdue interest on credit cards is to calculate the total bill of the current month, which is called "full interest", rather than the unpaid amount. Full interest, also known as full penalty interest, refers to the failure to repay in full by the latest repayment date. Even if a penny is missing, the full amount of the current bill will be calculated at five ten thousandths of the daily interest rate, and the compound interest will be calculated on a monthly basis. It can also be called "rolling interest".
3. Except ICBC, Agricultural Bank of China and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, all other banks bear full interest, and ICBC is the first bank to cancel the full penalty interest of credit cards.
