Analysis
The Tabular Foundation 9 18 25 filing from Simmons Bank sets out a 26.99% purchase APR and no annual fee. Against the 4,587 filings on this site, that rate lands around the 65th percentile.
What the agreement puts on the record
Simmons Bank submitted the terms for Tabular Foundation 9 18 25 to the CFPB's agreement database; this is what they contain. It is issued on the Visa network and the filing runs two pages.
The filing is explicit about a purchase rate, a cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate, an annual fee line and a late payment maximum. It is silent on a penalty rate.
The purchase rate in context
26.99% puts the purchase APR near the 65th percentile across 2,280 agreements, so it comes in above the median.
Because the rate is variable, the figure quoted is tied to an index and will drift with it. Nothing here is a fixed commitment.
The arithmetic of revolving
At the disclosed purchase APR, $2,000 revolving for a full year costs something like $619 in interest.
A card priced at the corpus median of 21.99% would charge roughly $492 on that balance. This one charges about $128 more per year.
Treat this as an illustration of what the disclosed rate does, not as a projection of a real account, which would be shaped by payments and by the fees described elsewhere in the filing.
Charges beyond interest
There is no annual fee. That is the common case in this corpus — about 75% of the filings that disclose an annual fee at all disclose it as $0 — so it is a baseline expectation rather than a distinguishing feature.
For cash advances the filing discloses a cash advance fee of $4 or 3% of the advance, whichever is greater and a cash advance APR of 27.99%. That is 1 points above the purchase rate. Cash advances also tend to fall outside any grace period, which means interest typically starts on day one rather than at the end of a billing cycle.
The transfer fee is a flat $0; transferred balances then run at 26.99%.
Foreign transactions attract 2%. On $1,000 of overseas spending that is $20, charged on top of whatever exchange rate applies.
What a missed payment costs
The maximum late fee is $39 — roughly the 63rd percentile of the late fee ceilings disclosed across this index.
Paying in full
25 days is the disclosed grace period for purchases — the interval in which paying in full costs nothing. That matches the 25-day median across the corpus almost exactly.
How it sits in the issuer's own range
124 separate Simmons Bank filings appear in the corpus. The issuer's own range is 18.25%–28.24%. At 26.99%, this agreement is dearer than 100 of its siblings.
What is outside the disclosure
The disclosure parsed here does not state penalty pricing. Those gaps are gaps in what could be read from the filing, and the PDF may well address them in prose the rate table does not capture.
What this analysis can address is bounded by the filing: rates, fees and the terms around them. Everything a card issuer might advertise — rewards, benefits, bonuses, who qualifies — falls outside the document and outside this review.
The document itself
This summary stands or falls on the linked PDF — two pages. Agreements are amended over time, and the filing reflects the terms as submitted rather than as they stand today.
In short
At 26.99% the purchase rate is close to ordinary for this corpus; nothing in the rate table sets this filing far apart from its peers. Because there is no annual fee, everything depends on the revolving behaviour: used as a payment instrument and cleared monthly, this agreement costs nothing.
The source document
This page is a reading of one document: the cardholder agreement Simmons Bank filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Where the two disagree, the filing is correct and this page is wrong.
