More US consumers are relying on their credit cards each month — and many are doing so without knowing the interest rates they’re paying.
Around 46% of cardholders don’t pay off credit cards in full each month, according to data collected by Bankrate LLC in December, up from 39% a year earlier. About 43% of those with debt aren’t aware of the rates associated with their cards, according to the firm.
