What is Credit?
Credit is an extremely useful way of paying for goods or services at a later time, usually paying interest as well as the original money. Offering real convenience, you can choose how to pay back credit in the way that best suits you.
What happens when I apply online?
Many online applications will result in a provisional decision within 20 seconds.
How is interest calculated?
Interest is calculated on a monthly basis on the outstanding balance if full payment has not been received.
How much will I have to pay each month?
How much you have to pay back each month depends entirely on how much you owe – however the general rule for most credit card companies is that you either make a minimum payment of 2% of the balance or £5, whichever is the higher figure.
What is Direct Debit?
Direct Debit allows your credit card company to take, according to your instructions, a variable amount of money from your bank account each month to pay all or part of your outstanding credit card balance.
