| Fees & Charges |
|
How is the Rate of Interest calculated? |
|
| The interest is charged only on the amount used and the period used. For example if you only use VND10,000,000 for 15 days then you need to pay interest only for 15 days and not for the month. Citibank offers very attractive interest rates for its Ready Credit. The interest is calculated on a daily reducing balance and there is no pre-closure penalty charged. In case there is no usage of the facility, there will be no interest payable. |
|
|
|
|
How is interest calculated? |
|
| As long as you have an outstanding balance in your account, interest is calculated on a daily based on the outstanding debit balance at the end of each day. Daily interest rate is calculated based on Annual interest rate / 360 days. |
|
| If you have excess funds in your account (i.e. credit balances), no interest will be paid on the balance. |
|
|
|
| Repayment |
|
How is the amount used repaid? Can more amounts be paid than minimum due? |
|
| Every month there is a mandatory repayment of 4% of the outstanding balance along with other fees, overdue interest, principal, installments. Yes, you can pay any amount you have to reduce your outstanding balance subject to a minimum repayment as stated in your monthly statement. There is no prepayment penalty for paying more than the minimum required. Once the minimum due is paid off, this amount is added back to your withdrawal limit on the Ready Credit line. |
|
|
|
Are there any minimum repayments each month? |
|
| You only need to pay a minimum of VND 50,000 or 4% of the outstanding amount in the account each month, whichever is higher.
