Penalty APR and when it Applies

29.99%

This APR may be applied to your account if you miss a required minimum payment for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days from its due date.

How Long Will the Penalty APR Apply? If your APRs are increased for this reason, the Penalty Rate will remain in effect until the account becomes current and 6 consecutive minimum payments are received on or before the payment due date.

How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases

Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. No Interest on purchases will be imposed for billing periods in which there is no previous balance and if the total account balance including new purchases is paid or credited in full on or before the payment due date or if the balance owed relates to offers that specified so. The Interests imposed on cash advances, balance transfers from other institutions and convenience checks will be imposed from the date on which the transaction was conducted.
