Credit Cards and You: Service Fees on Credit Card Transactions


Interest on credit card fees

Credit card issuers usually treat fees in the same way as they treat purchases. If you do not pay your balance in full, and on time, you may have to pay interest on these fees. If you are not sure how your credit card issuer handles fees, contact the credit card company or your financial institution.
