Jargon buster
APR
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a rate that shows you how much you’ll pay back in interest over a year. The APR figure includes any annual fee you have to pay for taking out the card.
Balance transfer
You could transfer some or all of the money you owe other lenders onto one credit card – this could be easier to manage and help save on interest.
Credit rating
It’s a score of how eligible you might be to borrow money – it’s calculated based on the information in your credit report, such as how well you’ve made repayments in the past.
