Got a question?

 

  • How can a purchase card benefit me?

    A purchase credit card can be a convenient way for you to borrow and have nothing to pay for a 0% interest free period, depending on the offer that comes with the card you choose. It could mean you don’t have to wait in order to buy the item you’ve had your eye on and you can spread the cost of your purchase to give yourself some financial freedom.

  • Why should I use a purchase card for my spending?

    Using a purchase card means you don’t have to pay upfront for your goods and provided you can pay off the balance in full each month and within the offer term, you can either pay low interest rates or avoid interest rates altogether.

  • How could a purchase card with balance transfers work for me?

    You could save by paying little or no interest on your purchases for the period of your offer whilst being able to move your existing debt over, with the potential of reducing your debts faster.
