Credit card cash advance fee is the amount levied on every credit card cash withdrawal. Every time you use your credit card to withdraw cash at an ATM, you will have to pay a certain fee, which will be added to your next month’s billing statement.
ICICI Bank charges a cash advance fee of 2.5% of the withdrawn amount or Rs.300, whichever is higher, for most of the cards. The cash advance fee also attracts interest of 2.95% per month or 41.75% per annum from the date of withdrawal till the amount is paid back in full. The advance fee may also vary for withdrawals done at ICICI ATMs to non-ICICI ATMs, which typically attract more fees.
