As good as gold

The everyday spend Gold Card for spreading the cost, boosting your credit, and those other unexpected emergencies

Credit where it’s due

  • 0% interest on purchases within the first 12 months
  • No annual fees
  • Make payments straight away using Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Apply in minutes with no lengthy forms to fill out
  • Section 75 purchase protection if something goes wrong*

How does it work?

During the first 12 months, the purchase rate is 0% interest. At the end of this promotional period the rate on your outstanding balance will change to the standard variable rate at the time. 

Here's a representative example:

Based on an assumed credit limit of £1,200

  • Representative APR - 24.9% APR (variable)
  • Purchase rate - 24.9% p.a (variable)

There's more information on how this all works in our credit card summary box.
