But CCs do charge 1-5% to the seller for the initial ~30 day loan period, which is equivalent to a 13% to 80% APR if you were to compound that period 12x in a year. That's about the same rate as Bitcoin loans.

Are you talking about the balance transfer? I'm looking at this credit card ad from Bank of America and the only time it mentions a 1-5% initial fee is if you apply for their card and then transfer a balance-due from an old credit card to the new one:

I also asked an LLM if credit cards charge interest to the seller for the initial loan period, and it says no


No, when you buy something for $100, the merchant only receives $95 to $99. The bank keeps the difference.
