Quick Answers
Credit Card Repayment FAQs
What are typical credit card interest rates in Kenya?
Credit cards issued by Kenyan banks typically charge between 2.5% and 3.5% interest per month (amounting to 30% to 42% annualized APR) on outstanding unpaid balances.
What happens if I only pay the minimum 5% card balance?
Paying only the 5% minimum payment causes interest to accumulate heavily, often extending payoff time to several years and costing more in cumulative interest than the original purchase amount.
