When interest is charged:

Interest is charged when you carry a balance owing on your Greater Bank card. The interest rate charged to your account is a variable rate and may change.

When interest is not charged:

There is an interest free period on purchases of up to 55 days if the balance from your previous statement is paid each month.

Your credit limit for a Greater Bank credit card will be determined based on the information you provide in your application or your preferred limit, keeping in mind the minimum and maximum credit limits available for each card. 

The limit on your Greater Bank credit card can be increased by either applying through internet banking or by downloading an application form and handing it in to a Greater Bank branch.
