Credit Card works by allowing you to borrow money from the card issuer (bank) to meet your financial needs. It comes pre-loaded with an approved credit limit by the bank for making purchases (POS, ATM withdrawal, ecommerce etc). The spend from your credit card is required to be paid back later at the frequency agreed with the card issuer at the point of issuance. Most credit card usage earn you reward points and helps in building your credit profile.
Your Credit Card limit is the maximum amount which is made available on your credit card for your use. This limit is pre-approved based on your income and satisfactory credit bureau report.
Your credit card will be in over limit when your balance is more than approved credit limit for any reason. i.e. interest/charges, foreign currency conversion rate etc.

There is no charge for cash withdrawals from the ATM. However, there is a 4% interest fee on amounts from the date of withdrawal until the amount is fully settled. For more details on our Terms And Conditions please go to https://www.sc.com/ng/download/CreditCardTerms.pdf.
Note that a cash withdrawal via the ATM does not qualify for interest free credit period neither does it qualify for points on the 360 rewards points. Purchases via POS and online platforms are interest free if you fully pay the amount outstanding (without any cash withdrawal transaction), if amount is paid on or before the payment due date. Therefore, it may be costly to use your credit card to get cash out on a regular basis.
Monthly interest is charged at 3% for POS or online (eCommerce) transactions.
However, you will enjoy interest waiver on transactions paid before the due date.

When making a payment from SCB online;
If you choose to make an additional payment against a fixed payment, the fixed amount will still be taken in full. But if you make an additional payment against a minimum payment, then your payment will go down by that amount.
The minimum payment is really a safety net to ensure you don’t incur late payment charges. Ideally, you should still make additional payments by other means rather than sticking to the minimum each month.
If you make an additional payment, then the payment will be reduced by the amount of the additional payment.
Please note that any additional payment made within 3 working days prior to your payment due date.

You will receive your statement on your billing date once a month (as long as you have a balance). You will receive your eStatement in your email address with the bank from Global.E-StatementMESA@sc.com.
Each month you get a statement telling you of your full outstanding balance (everything you have spent plus any interest and charges) and the amount of your minimum payment. You can pay any amount between this minimum payment and your full outstanding balance
Your card will be stopped from further transactions for any of these situations and charged 1% flat of the due amount
If your card is over limit as a result of decline in your financial status, you are required to immediately pay the difference; otherwise your next repayment would be 10% of total amount outstanding, instead of 1% minimum amount due
You can get up to 50 days interest free on purchases, if you pay off your balance (made on POS or Online) in full each month and spend happen on first day of the cycle
Note that we charge interest on cash transactions at a daily rate, it means that you can’t avoid interest charges on withdrawing cash. We’ll still charge cash interest on a cash transaction from a previous month if your payments have not been enough to cover the amount of cash that you withdrew plus the interest and fee apportioned to it. You’ll also need to take into account any other transactions you have made i.e. purchases. There may also be interest due for the time between your last statement being produced and the date you received your payment.
SCB has four Billing cycles.
| Start | End | Payment |
| 5th | 5th | 25th |
| 10th | 10th | 30th |
| 15th | 15th | 5th |
| 31st | 31st | 20th |
Minimum amount due is the amount which you pay to avoid late payment fee. Remember, you will still be charged interest on the remaining unpaid amount. Just that late fee won’t be applied. Total amount due is the total money you owe.
The statement date on your statement cycle is usually the same day as the last day of the billing period. This is the date your bill is actually issued, and your bill will be due twenty days after that. The statement date and the payment due date are not the same.
Payment Due Dates: Payment is due on either 25th/30th/5th/20th of each month depending on the billing cycle set up for client.
A billing cycle is recurring and is most often set to repeat on a monthly basis. For example, you may get your credit card bill on the fifth day of the month for payment or purchases done from the fifth of the previous month
Chargeback is a way of getting your money back if things go wrong on your Credit Card purchases.
