Halifax clarity overseas withdrawal

in Credit cards
Hi,
I am confused as to how the interest works on this card.
So if for example I withdrew £100 overseas at the APR of 12.9% and paid it back 15 days later, how much (approx) interest would I pay?
Would I pay a month's interest on the amount (approx £1.30)? Or 15 days (approx 75p), and if so if I paid it back nearly instantly would the charges be effectively 0?
Thanks

Cash withdrawals. Fee: FREE | Interest on cash withdrawals?: Yes even if repaid in full

Interest is calculated daily.0

I'm not sure how 'overseas' come into this, the interest is on a daily basis for any cash withdrawals.
It works out a great deal less than the 3% that most cards charge.0 -
Yes you would pay 75p approx (without working out the exact figure) basically you are charged interest on a daily basis until it is paid off. Thus in theory if you paid it off the day after it is applied to your account you would pay nil interest.
I would not get stressed out, most credit cards card you at least £3 to withdraw cash. Using a HfX card in most cases you are paying pennies!!0 -
I withdrew €50 (£41.00) during our recent visit to Paris using my Halifax Clarity credit card and was charged the grand total of 7p on the next statement about fortnight later...ORIGINAL MORTGAGE AMOUNT £106,454.00 (Started Sept 2007)
NOV 2021 O/S AMOUNT £1,694.41 OUR DEBT REDUCED BY £104,759.59 by std regular, over-payments & off-setting.
BofE +0.19% Tracker Repayment Offset Mortgage Discounted Sept 07-10 then increased to BofE +0.62% until 20270
