Why should I check my eligibility?

If you're unsuccessful with a credit card application and refused the card, this will harm your credit rating. This could then make it harder for you to get credit in the future.

Our free, easy-to-use eligibility tool can check if you’re likely to be accepted for the card you want – without affecting your credit rating or the details on your credit report.

What will I need?

We just need some basic details, like your name and where you’ve lived over the past five years. Just fill in the form and we'll look through your credit rating to check your eligibility.

What happens next?

If you’re eligible for the credit card you want, you can apply online.

If you’re approved, we’ll send your card and you should have it in seven working days.
