Evocabank Credit Cards

A Evocabank credit card is a payment instrument with an approved credit limit. Unlike a debit card, it allows you to use funds borrowed from the bank within the established limit. If you repay the debt during the interest-free grace period, no interest is charged. This makes a credit card a convenient tool for everyday purchases without overpayment.

Evocabank offers 1 credit card for different categories of customers, ranging from classic to premium cards, with cashback, reward programs and additional privileges.

• Classic credit card - a standard product with a grace period and a basic rewards program
• Cashback card - a percentage of the purchase amount is credited back to the account, with increased cashback in selected categories
• Installment card - interest-free installment purchases from the bank’s partners
• Premium card - an increased credit limit, additional privileges, concierge service and travel insurance
• Miles card - miles earned on purchases that can be exchanged for airline tickets and services from partners
• Youth card - for customers aged 18 and over, with lower income requirements

The grace period is the period during which no interest is charged on the outstanding debt. At Evocabank, the grace period is up to 45 days. It is important to understand two key points:

• The grace period applies to cashless purchases. As a rule, it does not apply to cash withdrawals or transfers, and interest is charged from the first day of the transaction
• To benefit from the grace period in full, you must repay the entire outstanding debt before the end of the billing period, not only the minimum payment

Evocabank credit cardholders can participate in the bank’s loyalty program. Rewards are earned on cashless purchases and can be used to pay for goods and services from the bank’s partners, repay credit card debt or obtain other privileges.

Cards with increased cashback offer priority categories such as supermarkets, restaurants, gas stations and travel, with a higher cashback rate. The terms of the loyalty program are provided on each product page on AFM.am.

Withdrawing cash from a credit card is a paid transaction. As a rule, the grace period does not apply, and interest is charged from the first day. In addition to interest, the bank charges a cash withdrawal fee.

Daily cash withdrawal limits:

• At Evocabank ATMs - up to 2 000 000 AMD
• At other banks’ ATMs - up to 500 000 AMD
• Fee - 2.5% of the amount, with a minimum fee of 2 000 AMD

Recommendation: use your credit card primarily for cashless purchases. This allows you to benefit from the grace period and avoid additional expenses.

When applying for a credit card, it is important to consider the following:

1. Complex grace period - it is important to clearly understand the start and end dates of the billing period. If you repay only the minimum payment instead of the entire debt, the grace period will not apply during the next billing period
2. Cash withdrawals - this is an expensive transaction because there is no grace period and a withdrawal fee is charged
3. The minimum payment does not eliminate interest - making only the minimum payment means paying interest on the remaining debt
4. High interest rate after the grace period - if you do not repay the debt on time, interest is charged at the full rate on the entire outstanding amount
5. Late payment penalties - missing even the minimum payment results in penalties and negatively affects the borrower’s credit history
