Credit card fees are increasing, banks blame Congress

Most issuers have raised credit rates or fees for certain borrowers. In the latest round, Bank of America and Chase have raised, or are raising, their maximum balance-transfer fees, from 3% to 4% and 5%, respectively. Chase is also expanding the definition of who could get hit with a penalty interest rate. Meanwhile, InfiBank is establishing a higher minimum APR — the greater of 15.99% or 11.99% plus the prime rate — on many cards. And Capital One and Citigroup continue to increasse card rates for certain borrowers.
