New credit card
has lowest rate

TORONTO (CP) — Can.
ada Trust Co. is intro-
ducing a credit card with
an interest charge of 13.5
Per cent, a rate it says is
the lowest of any card in
Canada.

The new card, called
SuperCharge, carries no
annual fees, transaction
costs or monthly statement
fee.

“We've designed Super.
Charge especially for
people who normally pay
interest on their credit
card,” said Stan Martin,
vice-president of card ser-
vices at Canada Trust,
based in London, Ont.

Most bank credit cards

charge no interest if the
cardholder pays the entire
balance by the due date.
Normally, interest is
charged from the date of
purchase on balances out-
standing.

With the new card, in-
terest will be charged from
the date the statement is
issued.

The arrangement is like
a cash advance to the
customer, on which they
pay interest, Martin said.

“Our 18.5-per-cent rate
puts SuperCharge in the
same ball park as personal
loan rates. One of the best
ways to use it is for those
larger purchases you want

to pay over a few months.”

More than 40 per cent of
the 12 million holders of
Visa and Mastercard ac-
counts regularly pay in
terest charges on their
accounts.*The balance out
standing on credit cards is
close to $6 billion, Bank of
Canada figures show.

The Bank of Montreal
announced in mid-August
an increase in charges on
Mastercard balances to
18.9 per cent, effective in
December.

Visa banks have also
bumped interest charges
to 16.5 per cent from 15.9
per cent, effective in early
October.

don't go to church

OTTAWA (CP) — A small
but growing proportion of
Canadians say they have no
religious preference, and
among the majority who doa
declining proportion regu.
larly attend church.

These are among the con
clusions in a report on Re.
ligious Affiliation in Canada
by Statistics Canada

Ten per cent of Canadians
aged 15 and over say they
have no religious preference,
according to a 1985 survey by
the federal statistics agency.

That's up from seven per
cent in 1981 and less than one
per cent in 1961.

“While most Canadians
still report a religious af.
filiation, a much smaller pro-
portion regularly attends re.
ligious observances,” Stat

istics Canada reported.

It said the 1985 survey
indicated 21 per cent of those
belonging to religious groups
never attend services.
