INTEREST AND FINANCE CHARGES
We will begin charging You interest on purchases and balance transfers on the date the transaction is posted to Your Account. We will begin charging You interest on cash advances on the date of the transaction or the first day of the billing cycle in which the transaction is posted to Your Account, whichever is later (transaction date). However, We will not charge You any interest on new purchases or balance transfers if Your Account had a zero or credit balance at the beginning of that billing cycle, or You paid the entire new balance on the previous cycle's billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement. To avoid an additional finance charge on the balance of purchases or balance transfers, You must pay the entire new balance on the billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement.
How We Calculate Your Balance:
Interest charges on Your Account are calculated separately for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances ("Transaction Type"). We figure the interest charge for each Transaction Type by applying the periodic rate to each corresponding "average daily balance." To get the "average daily balance" for a Transaction Type We take the beginning balance for that Transaction Type each day, add any new transactions of that type, and subtract any unpaid interest or other finance charges and any applicable payments or credits. This gives Us the daily balance for each Transaction Type. Then, for each Transaction Type, We add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide each total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives Us the "average daily balance" for each Transaction Type.
