Deferred debit Definition.

French arrangement in which a month’s card payments are aggregated and debited in a single charge at month-end, interest-free. Under the Interchange Fee Regulation, a deferred debit card is treated as a credit card (interchange capped at 0.3%). It differs from revolving credit: there is no revolving balance and no cost to the cardholder, only a cash-flow delay.
