Who can use an Interest Free Credit Card?

By Admin | Dec 13, 2011

Credit cards with 0% interest are hugely popular with lots of people, but why is this the case? It’s widely assumed that these cards come with some good benefits, but are there any specific people who could benefit from using one of them?

Generally, credit cards with 0% interest are useful for people who like to spread out their credit card payments over several months. If you are someone who pays off their balance in full every month then the interest free introductory period is unlikely to affect you, as you won’t be building up any interest on your balance anyway.

However, many people do like to space out payments, either paying the minimum amount every month or another amount that works for them. As long as you keep up with your minimum obligations (these will be made clear to you by your credit card company), this is absolutely fine but with any other type of credit card, interest will start to build up – and this has to be paid back, too.

By contrast, if you have an interest free credit card then you’ll get an initial period where you aren’t charged any interest on your purchases. The lengt Read more…

Tips for obtaining bad credit bank loans

By Admin | Dec 01, 2011

It is always advisable that you rebuilt your creditworthiness before you seek out to procure a loan. It is also advisable that you not choose a bank for applying the loan in case you have bad credit and try and get the required amount from family members or some close friends so as to avoid paying high interest premiums. However due to unavoidable reasons if that is not possible, there are a few pointers that might help you pick out a bad credit bank loan. Since the interest rate is likely to be high, look for other factors in the terms of the agreement such as high closing costs or any other hidden fees which might come along with a loan. Make sure you do a thorough analysis of all of the potential banks where you are applying the loan. Read more…

Renewing Canada’s Monetary Policy Framework

By Allison Jones | Nov 21, 2011

Over the past twenty years, Canadians have enjoyed a more stable and prosperous economic environment. Even during the recent crisis, the Canadian economy proved more resilient and recovered faster than our advanced-economy peers. The strength and relative stability of our economy have been due, in part, to Canada’s inflation-targeting regime, which was first adopted in 1991. Earlier this month, the Government of Canada and the Bank of Canada jointly announced the renewal of the target for five more years—re-affirming its important role in enhancing the well-being of Canadians.

In my remarks today, I will discuss what went into this decision, while addressing three important issues that the crisis brought into sharp relief. I will conclude by providing a brief summary of how we apply this framework to today’s circumstances.

The effectiveness of Canada’s inflation-targeting regime is well established. Since i
