Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical credit card interest rate in Canada?
Standard credit cards charge 19.99% APR. Cash advances are often 22.99%. Low-rate cards offer 11-13%. Some cards charge up to 29.99%.
Why does minimum payment take so long?
Minimum payments (typically 2-2.5% of balance) barely cover interest. On a $5,000 balance at 19.99%, minimum payments take 30+ years and cost more than double the original balance in interest.
