A cash advance fee is charged when you use your credit card to get cash. It may be a flat fee (for example, $3) or it may be a percentage of the cash advance (for example, 3 percent of the total amount of cash you requested, including any ATM fees).
A late-payment fee (Penalty Fee) is charged if your payment is received after the due date.
A Monthly Servicing Fee (Maintenance Fees) is charged by some credit card issuers for the monthly processing and billing of your credit card statement.
A credit-limit-increase fee is charged if you ask for and receive an increase in your credit limit.
