How it works

  1. The minimum depends on your limit: 20% of the balance for limits up to 50,000 TL, 40% above.
  2. What you don’t pay carries interest. In 2026 the maximum is 3.25%, 3.75% or 4.25% a month, depending on the balance.
  3. 15% KKDF and 15% BSMV are added to the interest, so 3.25% becomes 4.225% a month.

Common questions

How is the minimum payment calculated?

If your limit is 50,000 TL or less, it is 20% of the statement balance; above that it is 40%. On a 60,000 TL limit, a 40,000 TL balance has a 16,000 TL minimum.

Does interest apply if I pay the minimum?

Yes. The rest of the balance carries purchase interest plus taxes. Pay less than the minimum and the shortfall carries late interest.
