Pay your credit card with no worries and no interest
You have several options to simplify your credit card repayment. So you do not forget to repay, you can set an alert for the upcoming maturity date, either by e-mail (free of charge) or by SMS (priced according to pricelist).
If you do not want to think about installments at all, you can set a direct debit to 100 % of your drawn amount. From your Fio current account we will automatically convert money to a credit card account and repay the drawn amount. This service is completely free. If you do not want to use 100 % direct debit in the future, you simply cancel it in Internetbanking or set up automatic repayment of only the minimum amount.
And how does interest-free period, during which you do not pay any interest on card payments, work?
Simplified: To not pay any interest from your credit card payments made during the billing period (April 6 - May 5), the full amount must be paid by 20 May, ie 45 days from the beginning of the payment period. Please note, if you do not pay the full amount within the specified day, interest will be charged from the date of payment by credit card.
In detail: When you apply for a credit card, you choose the date when you want to receive a statement for the so-called "credit card payment" period, which is up to 30 days, during which you can pay by your card without interest, and you do not have to pay back the drawn amount. At the end of the billing period, we'll send you a listing of transactions. Then you have 15 days to repay. If you do so, either by transferring money from your account or by setting a 100% direct debit or by placing money at a branch, you will not be charged any interest.
We recommend that you set the end of the billing period (the day you receive the statement) so that the next 15 days end just after your payout. If you are paid, for example, every 15th of a month, set the date of the statement (end of the billing period) around the 5th of the month. So, on the 5th statement will come to you and you will be able to pay your credit card comfortably until the 20th of that month.
Every month you can use 10 withdrawals per month from our ATMs free of charge. We just add that withdrawals from ATMs do not apply to the interest-free period and are immediately remunerated at the current rate.
