How is credit card interest calculated?

If there is no debt carried over from the previous period and the debt stated in the statement of account has been paid in full by the due date, no penalty will be applied to the debt arising from the purchases. However, if part of the period debt is paid, interest will be calculated on the remaining account balance. Contractual interest is applied to the remaining account balance if the minimum payment amount and above is paid. In case of payment below the minimum payment amount, overdue interest will be charged for the unpaid portion of the minimum payment amount. Contractual interest will also be applied for the portion of the remaining account balance exceeding the minimum payment amount. The date of the last payment is taken as the beginning of default.

What kind of taxes apply on late payment interest?

According to the law, 15% BITT (Banking and Insurance Transactions Tax) and 15% KKDF (Resource Utilization Support Fund) are calculated on all credit card related penalty amounts. These taxes are added to the interest amount by the relevant bank and collected from the cardholder on behalf of the state.

What happens if the minimum payment on a credit card statement is not paid?

Pursuant to legal regulations, if you pay less than the minimum due amount three times in a calendar year, your card will be closed to cash withdrawals and limit increases until your debt is paid in full. In addition, if you make three consecutive payments below the minimum due amount within a calendar year, your card will be closed for use until your debt is paid in full.
