Frequently Asked Questions
How does 'no interest' work on SWYP?
Instead of charging monthly interest on your outstanding balance, IDFC FIRST SWYP charges a flat EMI conversion fee. You must either pay full outstanding or convert to EMI — you cannot carry a balance with just minimum due payment. The EMI fee may be lower than typical 3.5%/month interest for large amounts.
