Please refer to the "Fee & Charge Schedule" for the interest rates and charges.

Generally speaking, you may save the outstanding interest expenses by making early repayment of credit card outstanding balance. Nevertheless, you should consider the early repayment charges involved before deciding whether to pay off the repayment early or not.
If you choose to pay off the repayment early, the loss may outweigh the gain as the amount of interest saved may not be enough to cover the relevant charges for early repayment. If you consider to make the early repayment, you should first check with the Bank about the total amount involved in early repayment (including
credit card outstanding balance, early repayment charges and other fees, etc.) and the amount of outstanding interest. You should then compare different scenarios and consider carefully before making a decision of repaying early or not.
