How credit card interest is calculated

Credit cards have 2 interest rates (purchase interest rate and cash advance interest rate). 

Purchase APR: Yearly interest rate for any balance beyond your minimum payment. You can avoid being charged purchase interest by paying the full statement balance by the due date.

Cash advance APR: Yearly interest rate for cash advances made with your credit card. There is no interest-free period for cash advances. Cash advance interest begins to accrue once your cash withdrawal is posted and until the balance is paid back.

For more details about APRs, see the Neo Disclosure Statement, Rate & Fee Schedule (Quebec) or the Neo Disclosure Statement, Rate & Fee Schedule (Rest of Canada).

Changes to APRs

Currently, changes to your APRs aren’t available by request, but Neo may periodically change ‌interest rates. We’ll let you know if there are any changes to your rates.

Reasons why APRs are changed by Neo

APRs for your credit card may be changed due to adjustments to national interest rates or if you have missed some payments to your credit account.

Align to interest rates across the country: When there are changes to the Bank of Canada interest rate, Neo may adjust APRs. We’ll let you know before your APRs are changed.

You’ve missed some payments: If you’ve missed the minimum payment for two statements in a row, your APRs may be increased to default APR rates. To bring your APRs back to the standard rates, make on-time ‌payments for three statements in a row. The payment amounts must be at least the minimum payment mentioned on your statements.
