How interest is estimated??

I have my card payments set to cover the "monthly balance" every payment yet I am being charged interest on an amount I cannot determine where it is derived from. It does not match and balance(s) due but appears to be recurring.


How do I determine a way to satisfy the "outstanding" balance and pay it so that the interest charge goes away?


My monthly bill reflects the charges for my various Apple Products so those are satisfied every month, is this somehow related to ancillary charges? My bill also shows a zero balance after every monthly payment is credited.


Confused I am.


Thanks for any insight.

Installments never have interest charged, as long as the minimum payment is paid each month, no interest accrues on the Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI).


The statement balance ( not account balance) must be paid each month in full or interest will be charged on non-ACMI purchases. This interest can be spread over several months, because interest is charged daily, once the statement balance is not paid in full.


If you’re saying, in the last 3 or 4 months you have paid the statement balance in full each, you should not be charged interest.


Please contact an Apple Card Specialist at Goldman Sachs Bank for further assistance. You may also want to write them to preserve your consumer rights. If it’s a small amount, many times GS will just waive them.
