in Credit cards
Q&A on their website reads:
On purchases and cash transactions made with your card, you’ll be charged the typical APR from day one. APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate, basically the amount of interest you’ll be charged on your borrowing over a year.
What does this mean?
If I pay the card in full every month, I assume I will not be charged any interest. Am I correct in my assumption?

Yes, whatever is on your first statement, if you pay it off in full by due date it will be interest free, same goes for subsequent months0
