What Is Annual Percentage Rate (APR)?
- APR is the total yearly cost of using a credit card. It includes both the interest rate and any fees you pay on a credit card. It helps you know the real cost.
Why It Matters
- Shows the true cost, not just interest rate.
- Helps you compare credit cards easily.
- Makes it easier to plan your monthly payments.
Current APR rate
- Yearly – APR: 12.00% (Including a 0.50% monthly service charge).
- Monthly Interest Rate: 1.00%.
Example
- In the first month, if you use 1,000 KWD, the interest is 1.00%, which equals 10 KWD.
- In the second month, if your outstanding balance is 900 KWD, the interest will be 900 x 1.00%= 9 KWD.
- As your outstanding balances decreases, the interest amount also decreases.
