CREDIT CARDS
The Bank Credit card program is a program jointly formulated by the Bank and

Customer cash flow allows pay back substantially more than Customer minimum due.
This will also help open up Customer spending limit & improve Customer credit rating.
Late Payment charges are applicable if the Minimum Amount Due is unpaid after the
Payment Due Date.
