This is an information service. By browsing on the website and/or using our search tools, you are asking RateCity to provide you with information about Credit Cards from multiple financial institutions. We will try to show you a range of products in response to your request for information. The search results do not include all providers, for further details refer to our FSCG. We are not a credit provider, and in giving you product information we are not making any suggestion or recommendation to you about a particular credit product. If you decide to apply for a Credit Card, you will deal directly with a financial institution, and not with RateCity.

Interest Rate On Purchases

The interest rate on purchases is the rate that you will be charged for each purchase you make on your credit card. Essentially the lower the interest rate the less interest you have to pay, however if you make use of the interest free period and pay off your balance in this time you will not be charged interest.

Usually a financial institution will charge one interest rate on purchases and one interest rate for cash advances (withdrawals) and this rate is normally a lot more.

Interest rates will be different between financial institutions, so it pays to compare credit cards online to find a card that offers the lowest rates.

To find a credit card with an interest rate below 12 percent check out the table below or compare credit cards on our credit card page.
