29 month Balance Transfer Offer

Affordability

The cost of a Tesco Bank Credit Card is explained in sections 2 and 3 of the pre-contractual information we’ll provide to you and in sections 1, 2 and 3 of the credit agreement. This tells you:

  • how we calculate your minimum monthly payments;
  • the interest rates which apply; and
  • our fees

It's really important that you take time to read it as it gives you a summary of the key features. A credit card isn't suitable for:

  • long-term borrowing;
  • financing mortgage debt;
  • fixed interest rates or repayments; OR
  • to help you get out of financial difficulties.

Some transactions attract fees, including cash withdrawals, cash transactions, balance transfers, money transfers and transactions in a foreign currency. You will pay interest on this fee too. For more details on the types of transactions we classify as cash please check section 1 of your credit agreement.

If you're doing a balance transfer or a money transfer, or making a purchase you may have to make the transfer or purchase within a certain number of days of opening your account to be eligible for any promotional rate we offer you. Transfers or purchases after that date may attract different rates.

Late payments attract a £12 fee. You won’t be charged a fee if you go over your credit limit.


    Paying your account

    You must pay back the amount you borrow, so make sure you can afford at least the minimum amount shown on your monthly statement, although you can pay more at any time. If you only pay the minimum monthly repayment it will cost you significantly more overall and will take you longer to clear your balance.

    Missing payments could make obtaining credit more difficult and more expensive in the future. We report non-payment to the credit reference agencies and this could affect your credit rating. If you repeatedly miss payments we may have no choice but to take legal action against you, to obtain a court order for the money you owe us.


      You have a right to cancel

      You have the right to withdraw from this agreement within 14 days, which starts the day after you receive your card. To do this, simply call us or write to us. All of our contact details will be sent to you with your card.

      If you had a balance on the card you would have to repay this in full within 30 days of the date of cancellation.
