What this filing discloses
This page covers the agreement Celtic Bank filed for Indigo Mastercard Cardholder Agreement 602. The filing runs 13 pages, and It is issued on the Mastercard network.
The filing is explicit about a purchase rate, a late payment maximum, a foreign transaction fee and a grace period. A cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and a penalty rate are not stated.
The purchase APR against the corpus
Measured against every other filing on the site, 24.9% is about the 60th percentile for purchase APR; it lands near the median.
Translating the rate into money
Carry $1,500 on this card for a year without paying it down and the purchase rate alone generates roughly $424 in interest.
Against the corpus median of 21.99%, that is approximately $55 a year of extra interest on the same $1,500.
Month to month it reads as about $31 per cycle on that balance.
Note the $1 minimum interest charge, which overrides the arithmetic above whenever the calculated interest falls below it.
These figures are arithmetic on the disclosed rate, not a quote: they assume the balance is never reduced, ignore any payments, and take no account of fees charged separately.
What the card costs before you borrow
Taking cash against the card means a cash advance fee of $5 or 5% of the advance, whichever is greater.
Spending abroad costs an extra 1% — about $20 on $2,000 of purchases, independent of interest.
The grace period
The filing gives 25 days' grace on purchases, meaning a statement balance paid in full within that window attracts no interest.
The $1 minimum interest charge means the effective cost of carrying a very small balance is far higher than the quoted APR implies.
What a missed payment costs
$40 is the disclosed ceiling on a late payment fee, placing it near the 72nd percentile of the set.
Against the rest of Celtic Bank's filings

What is outside the disclosure
Absent from the captured terms: balance transfer terms, an annual fee and penalty pricing. The original document is the place to look for any of these.
More broadly, a CFPB agreement filing is a legal and pricing document. It does not describe rewards, benefits, sign-up offers, eligibility or approval criteria, and nothing of that kind has been inferred on this page. Where a card has features of that sort, they live outside this document entirely.
The document itself
The filed PDF is linked from this page and runs 13 pages. It is the authority for every figure summarised above; where this page and the document disagree, the document is right.
In short
The pricing here is middling by the standards of the index — 24.9% on purchases is near enough to typical.
The source document
This page is a reading of one document: the cardholder agreement Celtic Bank filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Where the two disagree, the filing is correct and this page is wrong.
