Analysis

Celtic Bank's filed agreement for Indigo Mastercard Cardholder Agreement 688 discloses a 35.9% purchase APR. That purchase rate ranks near the 91st percentile across this corpus of 4,587 filings.

The disclosed terms

Indigo Mastercard Cardholder Agreement 688 is one of the agreements Celtic Bank has on file with the CFPB. It is issued on the Mastercard network and the filing runs 13 pages.

Terms captured from the document include a purchase rate, a late payment maximum, a foreign transaction fee and a grace period. No figure appears for a cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and a penalty rate.

The purchase APR against the corpus

Measured against every other filing on the site, 35.9% is about the 91st percentile for purchase APR; it lands high in the distribution.

The cost of carrying a balance

The purchase rate turns a $5,000 revolving balance into roughly $2,158 of annual interest.

On a median-priced agreement from this index (21.99%) the same $5,000 would run about $1,229 a year, so this card costs in the region of $929 more annually for the identical balance.

Per statement cycle that is on the order of $149.66 on $5,000, which is the number that actually shows up on a bill.

There is also a floor: the filing sets a minimum interest charge of $1, so any cycle that accrues less than that is billed at $1 anyway.

Treat this as an illustration of what the disclosed rate does, not as a projection of a real account, which would be shaped by payments and by the fees described elsewhere in the filing.

Default pricing

The maximum late fee is $41 — roughly the 89th percentile of the late fee ceilings disclosed across this index.

Where the fees are

For cash advances the filing discloses a cash advance fee of $5 or 5% of the advance, whichever is greater. $100 is the crossover point where the percentage overtakes the $5 minimum.

Foreign transactions attract 1%. On $3,000 of overseas spending that is $30, charged on top of whatever exchange rate applies.

Paying in full

25 days is the disclosed grace period for purchases — the interval in which paying in full costs nothing. That matches the 25-day median across the corpus almost exactly.

Where interest applies at all, the filing bills at least $1. On a tiny balance that floor can dwarf the rate itself.

Against the rest of Celtic Bank's filings

This is one of 92 Celtic Bank agreements collected here. Their disclosed purchase rates run from 22.49% to 35.9%, and this one at 35.9% is more expensive than 25 of them.

What the filing does not tell you

Absent from the captured terms: balance transfer terms, an annual fee and penalty pricing. The original document is the place to look for any of these.

An agreement filing is not a marketing document. Rewards, perks, welcome offers and eligibility rules are not in it, are not in this dataset, and are therefore not discussed anywhere on this page.

Where the authority sits

The original filing, 13 pages long, is linked on this page and should be read before any figure here is acted on. It is also a snapshot: issuers refile as terms change.

In short

This is an expensive agreement by the standards of the corpus, driven by a 35.9% purchase rate that is inert for a transactor and punishing for a revolver.

The source document

This page is a reading of one document: the cardholder agreement Celtic Bank filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Where the two disagree, the filing is correct and this page is wrong.
