Standard Bank charges a monthly service fee and a monthly card fee, both of which are subject to change according to the NCA and the annual pricing guide respectively. The service fee is regulated by the NCA and is the fee (including VAT) levied by Standard Bank in connection with the routine administration cost of maintaining this Credit Facility, which forms part of the principal debt, while the card fee covers the costs of providing, administrating and maintaining all the value-added services and features associated with the card.

If you own a bundled product, neither the service fee nor the card fee will apply, but should you unbundle your product holding, both the card fee and the service fee will apply.

Interest rates are personalised ranging from a minimum of  (prime – 0.25%) to the maximum allowable interest rate as per the NCA regulation. Your monthly repayment for your Credit Card is a minimum of 3% of your outstanding balance. An upfront, once-off initiation fee of R180 (VAT inclusive) will be required
