Why choose our Foundation Credit Card?
Helping you to rebuild your credit rating
If you're yet to build your credit rating or it's not as good as you would like, then you might want to consider our Foundation Credit Card. As long as you earn over £5,000 per year and can afford to repay at least £25 a month, this could be the card for you.
You're more likely to be accepted if you haven't received any County Court Judgments (CCJs) in the past 18 months and haven't had an account closed in the past year due to missed repayments. We do offer a range of credit cards so make sure the Foundation Card is the right one for you.

What is APR?
APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It shows you how much your borrowing will cost over the period of an average year, over the term of your debt. It also helps you compare different cards on the market.
After a 0% period, the amount of interest you'll need to pay on any outstanding balances will be determined by the APR. Don't forget that the length of 0% period on your purchases and balance transfers might be different.
Credit limit increases
You will be considered for regular credit limit increases if you stay within your credit limit, make your minimum payments on time and manage your account well. To be considered you will also need to manage any other credit products you have, such as loans and other credit cards well.
