Credit building credit cards

Helping you move forward

Our cards could help you improve a bad credit score, or start building your credit history from scratch over time. Our price promise means we’ll reduce your interest rate over the first two years – you just need to stay within your credit limit and make at least the minimum payment each month.

If you manage your account well, by doing things like staying within your credit limit and making at least the minimum payment each month, you could improve your credit rating over time. But if you don’t manage your account properly, you could harm your rating.

Check your eligibility before you apply to see if you could be successful, without impacting your credit score.

Barclaycard Forward

  • A personalised credit limit between £50 and £1,200
  • 0% interest on purchases, for three months after you open your account
  • Price promise – 3% interest rate reduction if you make all your payments on time and stay within your credit limit for the first year. Keep it going in the second year and you’ll get another 2% reduction.
