On the Money: Credit card interest rates may be entering a new era

TheNational
Felicity Glover
according to:


"Historically, credit cards have always carried high interest rates. But in the UAE, the rates we pay are apparently among the highest in the world, averaging anywhere between 27 per cent and 36 per cent a year.

We pay more interest on our cards than many of our GCC neighbours; in Qatar and Kuwait, consumers pay about 18 per cent interest per year, while Saudis are charged up to 24 per cent.

Then again, there's also a good case as to why we should consider ourselves relatively lucky. Brazilians, for instance, are slugged up to 200 per cent a year on their credit cards, according to Reuters. Let's just pause for a moment to imagine those repayments.

"Consumers pay annual rates of up to 200 per cent for normal credit-card loans - the highest borrowing costs for that segment among the world's major economies," Reuters said last July in a story about the country's central bank tightening rules on credit-card loans backed by salaries and pensions.

The interest rates we pay on our credit cards are much higher than other types of credit - such as mortgages and car loans - simply because they carry more risk. It's not like a mortgage, for instance, that has a house as collateral. If you fall behind on your mortgage payments or stop paying them altogether, the bank knows that it can take your house away and sell it to get its money back. The same applies with your car, even though it does start losing its value the moment you drive it out of the showroom.


Credit cards are a different kettle of fish. Think about what you use your credit card for - anything from electronic gadgets to holidays to those spa visits. It's not like the bank can seize your new TV if you stop making your payments. The same goes for that fancy meal you splashed out on at Emirates Palace hotel, which you paid for with your credit card. The bank certainly can't repossess your dinner, nor can it reclaim the mani-pedi you splurged on. Credit cards are seen as higher risk, hence the higher charges.


Although it must be said here that credit-card interest rates are way too high in the UAE.

But the days of high interest rates could be coming to an end if a news report on January 31 in the Arabic-language Al Khaleej newspaper is anything to go by. Quoting an unnamed senior official at the UAE Central Bank, the newspaper said the banking regulator would announce this month an 18 per cent cap on credit cards. The aim, the official told Al Khaleej, was to curb bad loans.

So far, the banks have been quiet about the Central Bank's proposal. And who would blame them. After all, those high interest rates we pay for the privilege of using their credit cards plays a huge part in their profits. In fact, these days, it would be safe to say that it is a major driver of their bottom lines.

If the proposal is confirmed, you can bet that there will be a lot of creative number crunching going on in the back rooms of the banks. Does it mean we will say goodbye to free-for-life cards and start paying annual fees on all our cards? Will the loyalty points and other benefits that now seem to be a regular part of the 21st-century credit card come to an end?

More to the point, will the 18 per cent cap only apply to new cardholders? Hold on: does that explain why my bank rushed to replace my credit cards two months ahead of their expiry dates? Perhaps they know more than they are letting on. And here I was thinking it was just being super efficient."

Victims of insurance scandal waiting years for justice

Published on Thursday 16 February 2012 09:06

" IT’S one of the biggest scandals to ever hit the banking industry, but seven years on victims are finally seeing justice.
Redress paid to customers complaining about the sale of payment protection insurance (PPI) hit £1billion by the end of 2011.
But there are still millions of complaints to be investigated, according to the Financial Services Authority.
The redress comes after an epic battle with the industry.
The FSA took over enforcement in connection with PPI mis-selling in 2005, imposing penalties, fines and bans.
In 2010 it published rules on repayments which were challenged in court by British Banking Association. Repayments were suspended.
A judge found in the FSA’s favour in January last year but the BBA said it would appeal.
It abandoned all legal action in May – opening the floodgates to millions of claims.
An FSA spokesman said: “People will get their money, the FSA is very much on the case. But we want it done in a way that’s right and not rushed. We don’t want to have to go through it all again.”
BANKS are meeting strict deadlines for settling PPI compensation claims but stalling over paying up, says a claims expert.
The Financial Ombudsman Service set tough deadlines for dealing with complaints, but there are no rules about how quickly they should pay.
Michael Pilgrim, of PPI specialist Randall and Vickers, said most banks tell customers the average delay is 28 days, but thousands are being forced to wait months."

Payment protection 'crucial' as unemployment rises to highest level for 17 years

 Legal & General Group Plc : John Pollock, Group Board Director for Legal & General's Risk businesses, commenting in response to today's ONS announcement on unemployment figures said

 "The unemployment rate rose again for the last quarter of 2011. There were 2.67 million people unemployed, up 48,000 on the quarter. The unemployment rate has not been higher for over 17 years. Budgets are being squeezed at every level as people try to manage, particularly with the high cost of food, fuel and utilities. The recent period of severe freezing temperatures will not have helped this situation and put additional burden on many.
Research carried out by Legal & General General Insurance showed that over 93% of UK adults working full or part time in a recent YouGov survey, felt that utilities such as gas and electricity were essential to daily living in the event they were to lose their job or income was reduced. But two thirds (67%) haven't got any insurance such as mortgage or payment protection insurance to help them to continue to pay these bills should they lose their job. In tough times it is more important than ever that people have some sort of financial safety net in place to help them should they become sick or lose their job. Insurance can play a crucial role in helping people keep their homes and maintain their standard of living if the worst should happen."
