Standard Chartered Credit Card Payment via Payment Apportionment
This method allows one to distribute the payment in case one has multiple credit cards and has to clear the outstanding payments and still maintain a good credit standing. If one has multiple credit cards/EMI accounts with Standard Chartered and more than one have outstanding status, the bank can distribute the payment in such a way that it clears the outstanding amounts with the objective of keeping a good credit standing.
In the absence of any specific information on payment apportionment, Standard Chartered Bank first diverts funds towards the clearance of minimum amount due in respect of all card/EMI accounts of the customer. After that, excess payment is sequentially allocated towards payment of the credit card account with the highest balance. If any card account is overdue, the bank reserves the right to prioritise payments to the overdue accounts first.
For cash payments and funds transfer, individual payment should be made against each account.
