Are your Cardholder contact details up-to-date?

We’re updating the way we authenticate online card payments by adding an additional layer of security to protect your business and help fight fraud – this is called Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).

It’s important that we hold the correct mobile phone number for all Cardholders on your card account. Without this information, transactions may be declined, as we won’t be able to send a One-Time Passcode (OTP) to the Cardholder’s mobile phone to authenticate online payments.

For further information about SCA, you can read the PDF document below.

The information contained in this table summarises key product features and is not intended to replace any Agreement Terms.
APR Representative 22% APR variable
Interest rates   Monthly Rate Annual Rate
Purchases 1.238% 15.9% variable
Cash Advances 1.238% 15.9% variable
Interest free period Up to 56 days (38 days if you pay in full each month by Direct Debit) on Purchases and Cash Advances if you pay your whole balance in full and on time.
Interest charging Information You will not pay interest on new purchases if you pay your balance in full and on time. Otherwise the period over which interest is charged will be:
  From Until
Purchases Date debited to your account Paid in full
Cash Advances Date debited to your account Paid in full
Allocation of payments If the amount you pay in a month is less than the full amount you owe, we will apply the amount you pay in the following order:

  1. any unpaid arrears or amounts over the credit limit;
  2. the amount you owe us and shown in your statement;
  3. any transactions, interest or charges not yet included in a statement.

We will apply your payment first to amounts on your account which we charge at the highest interest rate followed by amounts we charged at lower rates. In each case, interest and charges are paid off first.

If some amounts are charged at the same interest rate, we will apply your payment to the oldest amounts first.
Minimum payment The minimum monthly payment will be the higher of either £5 or the sum of:

  1. 1.5% of the total value of your purchases plus
  2. any interest for the period from the last statement plus
  3. any fees and charges

We recommend that you pay more than the minimum repayment wherever possible. If you make only the minimum repayment each month, it will take you longer and cost you more to clear your balance.
