Common use of Interest Rate Changes Clause in Contracts

Interest Rate Changes. 5.1 We may change interest rates (except fixed rates). This includes changing the way they are charged or calculated, or introducing different rates for different types of Transactions or different types of rate. The new rates apply to Transactions and to your outstanding balance from the date the rate changes. The representative APR does not take these variations into account. These changes may be personal to you and based on a number of factors such as increased or decreased credit risk (for example, there will be an increased credit risk if you have regularly failed to comply with important obligations to us) and the way you use your account (for example, we may reduce the number of days between the statement date and the payment date if you always pay off your balance in full). 5.2 We will give you at least 60 days notice of an increase in your interest rates. If we increase your interest rate you may notify us before the change takes effect that you want to close your account and repay your balance at the existing rate. If you do so, you must stop making any Transactions, return all Cards and Cheques (cut in half) and cancel instructions or authorities you have given others to charge your account. This agreement will continue until you have repaid all amounts you owe us. If we decrease your interest rates we will let you know before the change takes effect.
