American bank Capital One, is one of the UK’s largest credit card issuers, offering a range of cards to suit different types of customers.
Having pulled out of the savings market a few years ago, credit cards are all the bank now offers here in Britain but it has a wide range of cards to suit different types of customer.
All Capital One credit cards come with a free Equifax credit report, online account management and identity theft protection.
In order to be considered for a Capital One Credit Card you must be a UK resident, aged 18 or over and have a UK bank account.
Capital One offers a range of different credit cards and the product most suitable for you will depend on your credit history and how you plan to use your credit card.
Many of the leading credit card providers focus on customers with strong, proven credit histories. This can make it difficult for those who have never had a credit card before, or who have a less-than-perfect credit history to get accepted for a card. However, in Capital One’s product range is a card that helps to build or rebuild credit history, and the option of receiving text alerts from them when a balance is due to be paid as a reminder.
Capital One also caters for its customers who already have a good credit history, for those who fit into the very good to excellent category Capital One offers cards that have a low standard annual percentage rate (APR) and interest-free periods. It also has a cashback card which is ideal for those who clear their balance in full each month.
This stands for Annual Percentage Rate. Any firm that lends money is required by law to quote the APR. Introductory rates do not include arrangement fees you may be charged and also don’t reflect any higher rate of interest that your borrowings will ultimately revert to. The APR takes into account the interest on a loan plus and additional charges making it easier for you to compare products. In general, the lower the APR the better the deal.
Balance transfer rates are applied to existing card debt that is being moved from one issuer to another or a consolidation of other debts. These rates tend to be lower than standard rates and apply to the debt transferred or consolidated for a specified term or until it is repaid in full.
Credit cards are a form of borrowing used to purchase goods and services, to obtain cash advances and for consolidating debt.
This allows an organisation to take money directly from a persons bank account
The amount you must pay each month to keep your account in order
The time between when you buy something on the card and the date when you must pay your monthly bill. This can be 50 days or more and is interest-free. So if you settle your bill in full every month, it's free borrowing.
A rate that is applied to your account until a given expiry date. Thereafter it will revert to the rate applicable to your account at that time.
