Is this interest? Whenever I re-fuel my car, I pay through credit card, but they charge me 2.5% more.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

The reason for this is that the bank charges them this much of money, and they take it from their customers so as to save their costs. Please advise me if this extra money is interest or not?

Answer

The 2.5% surplus is not interest. It is bank charges.
