The main point of credit card testing is how to repay correctly.
1. Try to repay the credit card within the repayment date
Credit cards generally have an interest-free period of 20 to 50 days. After swiping the card, the cardholder only needs to repay the loan within the due date. Just pay it back a few days ago. Not only will this not cost the bank interest in vain, but it will also leave a good credit record. Cardholders can accumulate credit points and at a certain point be able to increase their overdraft limit, or help cardholders reduce approvals when applying for home loans or car loans. program.
2. Several common repayment methods
There are various repayment methods for credit cards. Common ones include automatic repayment within the issuing bank, inter-bank transfer, and third-party payment ( Alipay, Tenpay, WeChat repayment), Lakala repayment, etc.
3. The temporarily increased limit must be repaid in time
Users who have applied to increase the temporary limit of their credit card must pay special attention to timely repayment. If they are delayed, they will be subject to high penalty interest. In addition, the temporarily adjusted limit cannot be repaid in installments. If the money is not paid off in full on the repayment date, the bank will charge a certain proportion of over-limit fees. Most banks charge 5% of the total amount over the limit.
4. It is best to go to the bank counter for overseas repayment
It is best to go to the bank counter for overseas repayment. You can ask the staff to help calculate the amount owed, because the foreign currency needs to be converted into RMB according to the current exchange rate. This exchange process will incur additional fees - currency conversion fees. If you calculate it yourself, you may incur arrears due to missed expenses. Currently, the currency conversion fee of most banks is 1.5% of the consumption amount.
5. If the credit card debt is not paid, you can repay the minimum payment or actively negotiate with the bank
If special circumstances occur and the debt cannot be repaid on time, the cardholder can choose to repay it. If you meet the minimum repayment amount, the bank will neither charge late fees nor affect your personal credit. Generally speaking, this minimum repayment amount is 10% of the bill amount, but it should be noted that the borrower will be charged interest at 0.5% per day, so it is best to repay all your bills as soon as possible.
If the cardholder cannot even make the minimum repayment, then do not choose to "run away", that is, change the address or mobile phone so that the bank cannot be contacted. The best way is to contact the card-issuing bank immediately, explain your situation, express that you do not owe money maliciously, and apply for an extension of repayment. Banks usually design a repayment method for cardholders that is acceptable to both parties.
