Highest Interest Rate Credit Cards

Latitude Financial's 'Go MasterCard' had a Cash Advance interest rate of 29.49% until March 2019 Presently it is 25.9%, but now incorporates a Cash Advance Fee of $3 or 3% of the cash advance amount, whichever is greater = 28.9%.  It also charges an explicit 'Late fee' of $35 and $8.95 monthly account service fee when outstanding balance is greater than $10 Little wonder that Credit Cardholders with low Financial Literacy Capacity (independently classified by the Productivity Commission, ABS and ASIC) get lured into applying for a Latitude Financial GO Mastercard because of deceptively offering 'Enjoy now. Pay later. Interest Free'.

Citi Rewards Credit Card has a Purchase interest rate of 21.49% p.a., a Cash Advance interest rate of 22.24%, an Annual Fee of $149 p.a. after the 1st year, $90 p.a. for an additional card.  Late Payment Fee of $30.  Dishonour Fee of $15.  Domestic Cash Advance Fee of 3.5% or $3.50 which ever is the higher.  Overlimit Fee (for accounts opened prior to 1 July 2012).
