Finance Charges are imposed on your China Bank Credit Card if you pay any amount less than the Statement Balance. The unpaid balance will be subject to a 3% Finance Charge.
Finance Charges are determined using the Daily Retail Interest computation method:
Step 1: Multiply the Previous Statement Balance with the number of days from the day after your Previous Statement Date to the day before Payment Transaction Date, and the Daily Retail Interest Rate. The Daily Retail Interest Rate is derived by dividing the Finance Charge Rate by 30.
Step 2: New Retail Transactions reflected in your current Statement of Account will not be imposed with Finance Charges.
Step 3: Multiply other fees and charges transaction reflected in your Current Statement of Account with the number of days from Transaction Posting Date to Current Statement Date and with the Daily Retail Interest Rate.
Step 4: Deduct the Payment Transaction Amount from your Previous Statement Balance. Multiply the result with the number of days from Payment Transaction Date until your Current Statement Date and with the Daily Retail Interest Rate.
Step 5: Sum up the totals computed in steps 1 to 4 to arrive at the total Finance Charge as reflected in your Current Statement of Account.
The above computation is based on the assumption that the Cardholder paid less than the Statement Balance in the previous Statement of Account.
