Credit Cards
- 13.85% (all fixed)
- 14.48% (all variable)
The average annual percentage rate, or APR, for variable- and fixed-rate credit cards stayed steady this week after sizable moves last week, according to Bankrate's latest survey of interest rates. The variable rate was 14.48 percent. The fixed rate remained at 13.85 percent following a jump of nearly a half-percent last week after one issuer in the survey removed three of its fixed-rate offers and added three variable-rate cards.
