Good day All
Below is an explination from Standard Bank. I do hope it helps!!
Cash transactions
Finance Charges
Finance charge refers to the interest charged to your credit card account for your swiped transactions in the event that the outstanding balance is not settled in full on a monthly basis. This is calculated daily and added to the account on a monthly basis on your current balance at the time when your statements close.
In order to avoid finance charges on purchases, payment of the previous month’s account must be received in full before payment due date. When the statement closes we allocate an additional 25 days from the closing date till the due date in order for a customer to make a payment. The bank therefore funds the outstanding balance for a period of up to 55 days during which no interest is charged to the cardholder if the account is settled in full or no cash transactions have taken place during the statement period. However, if the closing balance on your statement is not paid by due date, you automatically forfeit the ‘up to 55 days interest free’ period.

Hi Ilana10
I will send this to your mail team. However everybody agrees that Standard Bank should give an direct answer to the same question in this Forum Chat within this correspondence. It will just make it easier and a clear, detailed breakdown is nothing more we expect!
Thanks

I absolutely agree! He keeps avoiding what we the clients ask and need to know! And keeps telling everybody to send a private email.
What a loser ... or is it Standard Bank telling him what to answer??
Seems to me it's time to move on... going to get these type of info from 5 different banks... and ask friends and family their experience
with their banks etc.
