Pricing Information

** We can brag about our pricing structure until we run out of freebies to throw at you. We don’t charge annual card fees, monthly service fees, internet banking fees or swiping fees at any point-of-sale. We also have a very simple structure for withdrawals, enquiries, deposits and replacement fees.

Interest rates :

** As long as you pay your full outstanding balance by the due date shown on your statement you won’t pay a cent interest on your swiped purchases. This means you could have up to 55 days interest free on your swiped purchases. After this you will be charged the rate that applies at the time.

** Here is where you need to pay attention as there are different rules that apply, depending on when you were contracted and subject to repo changes.

The following interest rates are applicable from 28 July 2017

Account opened after 6 May 2016

Debit balances: 20.75%

Account opened after 1 June 2007 – 5 May 2016 (National Credit Act)

Debit balances: 15.25% – 19.25%

Account opened before 1 June 2007 (Usury Act)

Average debit balance of R10 000 or more: 17%

Average debit balance less than R10 000: 20%

** The interest free period does not apply to Car Card™ transactions, balance transfers, cash withdrawals or casino transactions, as interest is charged from the date of the transaction until the date your related payment is received.

** Keep a positive balance on your account and reap the rewards. You get 2.25% interest per annum from the moment you deposit money into your account.

** In addition to the sweet deal above, we charge a variable rate linked to the repo rate. This means when the interest rates are low you will continue to benefit from the low rate.
