COMPARAÇÃO DE TAXAS DE JUROS DE CARTÃO DE CREDITO

Credit cards are quickly becoming a global industry. Although America leads the world in credit use (in 2003, US credit use was larger than the rest of the world combined), credit cards are becoming increasingly popular around the globe Let's compare the interest rates charges on credit cards in different countries.

* America - The average us credit card APR is around 12%. Most credit card interest rates range from 10-20% APR, although some cards go as high as 30% for borrowers with bad credit.
* Canada - Average Canadian credit cards have interest rates around 19% APR. Gas and store card rates are higher, around 28%.
