What is the interest on a deferred purchase or bill (personalized payment)?
-
With the customised payment, you can defer the payment of any purchase made with the card or the monthly amount owed, provided this amount is at least €50.
The monthly payments will be for a fixed amount (which includes principal and interest if it is a personalized payment with interest, or principal and fees if it is a personalized payment with fee) and will depend on the term you choose, from a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 36 months. This amount will be charged to the account on the 5th of each month.
The first payment in both cases is different:
- For a personalized payment with interest, it only includes interest.
- For a personalized payment with fee, a deferral fee is also included.
Once you take out the card, you can use both the BBVA app and bbva.es to calculate your monthly payment based on the repayment period you choose.

- Credit limit: €1,500.

What interest do deferred revolving payments have?
-
With deferred payment revolving, you can pay a fixed amount of your card bill each month. This payment method charges interest.
- Interest rate: 11.76%.
- Credit limit: €1,500. This card cannot be issued with a credit limit of €1,500, it has to be higher or lower.
- Annual credit card issuance and maintenance fee: €90, check your card contract.
The monthly payment settlement date is the last business day of each month. On the 5th of the following month, you will pay a fixed monthly amount that includes principal, interest and fees.
The minimum monthly amount is €12, and you can choose any higher amount.
The payment chosen is used to pay the interest and agreed expenses first, and then to repay the loan or the balance you draw down. Because of this, selecting lower payments could lead to a smaller proportion of the principal being repaid every month.
Once you take out the card, you can use both the BBVA app and bbva.es to calculate the repayment period based on your chosen payment method, as well as the total interest payable, if any.
You can also use the Bank of Spain's revolving card simulator to calculate the approximate total card payment or the final payment date, based on the expense and the payment method chosen.
Remember that you can change the payment method for your card whenever you want.
Deferred payment example revolving with fixed payment
This example complies with the information requirements of Order EHA/1718/2010, which governs and controls the advertising of banking services and products, the conditions of which may not correspond to those of the contract.
If you make a purchase for €1,500 with an annual NIR of 11.76% and you choose to make a fixed monthly payment of €33.97, you would have to pay:
- 48 monthly installments of €39.32
- The total amount payable will be €2,247.56 and the APR will be 24.67%,
The calculation of the APR and the total amount payable takes into account the €90 card issuance and maintenance fee, which is charged annually.
IMPORTANT: With the settlement system of the BBVA Platinum Card, it isn't always possible to repay the credit in 48 equal monthly installments because the minimum amount payable is 3% of the balance drawn. This means that every month, you will pay the higher of the following amounts:
- The selected fee, made up of principal, interest and fees.
- Or 3% of the credit drawn before settlement, plus the interest and fees for the period.
If you get this card and on the same day, for example, May 1, 2020, you make a purchase for 1,500 euros and choose to make payments of €35.41 on the 5th of each month, the total amount payable over 48 months, assuming an NIR of 11.76%, would be €2,200.44. The APR will be 26.26%.
The calculation of the APR and the total amount payable takes into account the €90 card issuance and maintenance fee, which is charged annually in the month when the card is issued. This fee is part of the balance financed.
