Billing Statement Periodicity & Mode of Sending: Your credit card statement will be sent to you on a monthly basis through regular post and/or through Email (if you have registered for E-statements). You can also check your statement on the Manhattan website if you have registered for Net Banking. The statement for any given month will be generated/mailed to you only if there are spends or balances greater than Rs.100/- (including credit balances) on the card in the given month.
Minimum Payment Due: The minimum amount due every month is 5% of the billed value or Rs.250 whichever is higher, unless there is a default on the payment. If there is a default or if the statement balance is less than Rs.250, the entire outstanding amount may have to be paid. In case of the EMI card or a loan taken on the card account, then the EMI of the loan would also be added to the above. Also, in case, there is an overlimit utilisation on the card account, the minimum payment due will be the sum of the above mentioned plus the amount that is overlimit.
If you spend Rs 10,000 and pay back exactly the MAD every month, it will take approximately 6.5 years to pay back the complete amount. We therefore suggest that whenever your cash flows allow you, do pay back substantially more than your minimum payment due.
