According to Article 7 of the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Credit Card Business of Commercial Banks, credit cards refer to all kinds of media that record the relevant information of cardholders' accounts, have the functions of bank credit line and overdraft, and provide relevant banking services for cardholders.
The credit card stipulated in the relevant laws of our country (Interpretation of the Provisions of NPC Standing Committee on Credit Cards) refers to the electronic payment card issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions with all or part of the functions of consumer payment, credit loan, transfer settlement, cash deposit and withdrawal, etc. 20 17 12 1, the English translation and writing standard for public services was formally implemented, and the English names of credit cards were specified.
Credit card consumption is a non-cash transaction payment method, and there is no need to pay cash when spending, and repayment is made on the billing day.
Credit cards are divided into credit cards and quasi-credit cards. Credit card refers to a credit card in which the cardholder has a certain credit limit and can spend first and then repay. Quasi-credit card refers to a quasi-credit card in which the cardholder deposits a certain amount of reserve fund according to the regulations, and when the balance of the reserve fund account is insufficient to pay, it can be overdrawn within the prescribed credit limit. Credit cards generally refer to credit cards.
From the date of 202 1 1 1, the credit card overdraft interest rate is determined by the card issuer and the cardholder through independent negotiation, and the upper and lower limit management of the credit card overdraft interest rate is cancelled (the original upper limit is 0.7 times of the daily interest rate, and the lower limit is 0.7 times of the daily interest rate).
On May 25th, 2002/KLOC-0, the Supreme People's Court promulgated and implemented the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Civil Disputes over Bank Cards.
Cancel status
If you don't intend to continue using your credit card, you must cancel your account. If the account is not closed, the bank will charge an annual fee for the credit card.
If the card is not overdrawn, you can apply for account cancellation at any time.
If the card has not expired, you need to apply first, and then go to the bank to cancel the account after a certain period of time; If the card has expired and the account balance is zero, you can directly cancel the account at the designated bank outlet. When closing the account, you should bring your valid ID card and the original card. If it's not convenient for me to close the account, someone else can help you. The agent must hold the power of attorney written by the principal (himself) and bring the original valid identity certificate to handle the account cancellation business.
If your card has not expired when you cancel your credit card account, some banks stipulate that you need to go to the designated outlets to receive the card, and then go through the formal account cancellation procedures after a certain period of time (up to 30 days). This is mainly because if the cardholder has done a manual card pressing transaction before closing the account, the cardholder will have closed the account before the merchant submits the card pressing form to the bank for entry, and the bank will not be able to liquidate normally; On the other hand, if the cardholder is in consumption abroad or withdraws cash, it may take several days to settle the account. If the account is closed immediately, it will also affect the normal liquidation of the bank.
