Frequently asked questions
A credit card is a payment method tied to your bank account. You can use it to make transactions during a given period, after which the total amount spent on the card will be fully or partially debited from your account.
If you choose to pay in full, no interest will be applied to the amount spent, i.e. the payment is simply deferred.
If you choose to make a partial payment, the minimum amount debited will be 10% of the total amount spent. Interest will be applied, and the total amount is paid in instalments over a longer period, This is what we call staggered payment. (Available with Visa Classic)
Credit cards are a widely accepted means of payment, and are extremely handy for making purchases online and abroad.
