Hi all,

Just wondering do credit cards calculate interest daily? basically I have a virgin card with a reduced rate of 2.9% until the 1st July, I've made a blance transfer to clear it unto my barcalycard but it probably won't clear until after 1st July, will I have to pay interest for the whole month of just a few days at the start until it is cleared?

Thanks for any help

    Most charge the interest monthly but calculate it on a daily basis.
