Analysis
The Destiny Mastercard Cardholder Agreement 245 filing from Bank of Missouri, the sets out a 29.9% purchase APR and no annual fee. Against the 4,587 filings on this site, that rate lands around the 72nd percentile.
What the agreement puts on the record
Destiny Mastercard Cardholder Agreement 245 is one of the agreements Bank of Missouri, the has on file with the CFPB. It is issued on the Mastercard network and the filing runs 13 pages.
The filing is explicit about a purchase rate, an annual fee line, a late payment maximum, a foreign transaction fee and a grace period. It is silent on a cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and a penalty rate.
The purchase rate in context
29.9% puts the purchase APR near the 72nd percentile across 2,280 agreements, so it runs above the midpoint of the corpus.
What the rate means in dollars
Put $1,200 on the card and never reduce it, and twelve months of interest at the disclosed purchase rate comes to approximately $418.
The median purchase rate across the corpus is 21.99%; the same balance there would cost about $295. The gap — roughly $123 a year on $1,200 — is the price of this particular filing over a typical one.
Per statement cycle that is on the order of $29.84 on $1,200, which is the number that actually shows up on a bill.
Small balances do not get a proportionally small bill — the agreement imposes a $1 minimum interest charge in any month where interest applies.
These figures are arithmetic on the disclosed rate, not a quote: they assume the balance is never reduced, ignore any payments, and take no account of fees charged separately.
When a payment is late
The maximum late fee is $41 — roughly the 89th percentile of the late fee ceilings disclosed across this index.
What the card costs before you borrow
There is no annual fee. That is the common case in this corpus — about 75% of the filings that disclose an annual fee at all disclose it as $0 — so it is a baseline expectation rather than a distinguishing feature.
For cash advances the filing discloses a cash advance fee of $5 or 5% of the advance, whichever is greater. Advances under roughly $100 are charged the flat $5; larger ones are charged 5%.
Foreign transactions attract 1%. On $1,500 of overseas spending that is $15, charged on top of whatever exchange rate applies.
The no-interest path
Anyone clearing the statement balance inside 25 days pays no purchase interest at all under this filing. That matches the 25-day median across the corpus almost exactly.
A minimum interest charge of $1 applies in any cycle where interest is due, which makes very small revolving balances disproportionately expensive.
The issuer's other agreements
120 separate Bank of Missouri, the filings appear in the corpus. Their disclosed purchase rates run from 24.9% to 36%, and this one at 29.9% is more expensive than 8 of them.

What the filing does not tell you
The disclosure parsed here does not state balance transfer terms and penalty pricing. Those gaps are gaps in what could be read from the filing, and the PDF may well address them in prose the rate table does not capture.
What this analysis can address is bounded by the filing: rates, fees and the terms around them. Everything a card issuer might advertise — rewards, benefits, bonuses, who qualifies — falls outside the document and outside this review.
Reading the agreement yourself
Everything here is a reading of the filed agreement, 13 pages of it, which is linked above and which governs. Terms also change between filings, so the date on the document matters.
In short
29.9% is an unexceptional purchase rate in this collection, and the rest of the terms follow the same pattern.
