  • Available credit line: between HUF 1,000,000 and 1,500,000, APR: 37.94%.

  • In our cash back promotion you will get HUF 1 back after each HUF 100 purchase transaction.
  • Travel safely with the Platinum travel, health, accident and luggage insurance that is valid abroad and special domestic accident insurance which are automatically linked to the card.
  • Automatic emergency services are also available with the card: card replacement and emergency cash advance may be requested in Hungary or abroad because these services are included in the fee for the bank card.
  • If you need to block your bank card, we arrange the card replacement and the regeneration of the PIN code free of charge, because these services are already included in the bank card fee.
  • You can use our SMS service free of charge1, as a special offer.
  • The card’s membership fee includes the fee of a life insurance policy which serves as collateral.
  • With a Platinum credit card you do not even have to pay the monthly account handling fee, because the fee of the card includes it, too.

A representative example:

For the UniCredit Platinum credit card projected onto a credit line of HUF 1 000 000. The monthly fixed credit interest to be charged is 2.22 %. If a credit card agreement is concluded with the bank for an indefinite period, the annual percentage rate (APR) for the 1-month settlement period in the first year:  for a full loan amount, a credit line of HUF 1 000 000 and a term of one year, the APR is 36.16%. If you accept a credit card with a credit line of HUF 1 000 000 and after its receipt you spend the whole amount immediately, and only repay the minimum amount for 11 months which meets the criteria of the minimum repayment amount, calculated in this example: HUF 50 000, but settle the total debt in the 12th month, the total estimated fee of the loan based on the assumptions and parameters taken into account upon the determination of the APR: HUF 271 714, while the total estimated amount payable by the client: HUF 1 271 714, which includes  HUF 0 monthly closure fee, card issuer fee is HUF 9 995, purchase comission 0,3%, max 6000 HUF beside the interest.

What should you know about the UniCredit credit cards?

Easy usage

You can use the credit card just like debit cards:

  • Easy purchases within the country and abroad.
  • Safe online shopping.
  • Purchases with the card are free of charges2 as a special offer.
  • Easy cash withdrawal from ATMs, both within the country and abroad up to your monthly limit, but the amount withdrawn will bear interest rate from the date of the withdrawal, and these withdrawals incur fees.
  • Take part in the current bank card promotions with your UniCredit bank card.

Available balance

While for a debit card you pay from the amount that is available on your bank account, during the use of the credit card the bank provides a certain credit line for you, which you can use with your credit card.

It is enough to apply for this only once and it may be extended annually automatically if the required conditions are fulfilled. Any amount repaid from the used credit line can be used again.

Repayment

You can freely choose how to repay the used credit line, depending on your current financial situation.

  • Minimum amount: in order to avoid late payment, you need to repay 5 percent of your total debt outstanding (used credit line) as of the end of the settlement period, but a minimum of HUF 5,000 (if the total amount of spend does not reach HUF 5,000, you will have to pay back the whole amount that was used). The amount must arrive on the account at the end of the settlement period but by the last day of the grace period at the latest.
  • Total debt: besides the minimum amount, you can freely decide about the date and the amount of the repayment of the outstanding debt. However, it is important that, if you do not repay the total amount due in the given period, we will charge credit interest on the outstanding debt and the debt outstanding prior to the repayment up until the due date of the repayment.
  • Free of interest: If you use your credit card for purchases exclusively and fully repay the used credit line upon the end of the settlement period, but by the last day of the grace period at the latest, the bank will not charge any interest rate in the given settlement period. The used credit line includes the total debt outstanding during the period: the transactions performed and accounted for with the credit card and the amount of the related fees and interest.

Repayment fees

You can repay the used credit line in the way that is most suitable for you; by paying the fees included in the valid list of conditions, choose from the following:

  • by transfer from a bank account held with a different bank,
  • by transfer between your own accounts held with UniCredit Bank,
  • by automatic repayment from a bank accounts held with UniCredit Bank,
  • by cash payment through a UniCredit ATM,
  • by cash payment at any of the branch offices of UniCredit Bank.
