UK credit cardCredit cards have grown rapidly in popularity over the past decade, and it is estimated that there are over 30 million people in the UK who regularly use a credit card. The yearly amounts spent on credit cards regularly run well into the billions.
A UK credit card is covered by the consumer credit act, which offers consumers protection in a number of areas. The main beneficial aspect of the act is that it states that the credit card company is liable for costs of faulty items purchased using the credit card supplied by them, as long as the item is between £100 and £30,000. This means that if you purchase something that turns out to be faulty and you cannot resolve the issue with the supplier, then you can turn to your credit card company to reimburse you. There is a wide range of UK credit cards, and almost as many card companies to search through to find the best credit card for you – we have compiled a list of the best credit card companies to help you. When looking around for a credit card, there are a bewildering amount of offers available, from nought percent interest on balance transfers to special introductory rates. You should look past these headline features and check into the standard rates charged, along with any other charges and costs to determine if the credit card is right for your needs. Although it can be bewildering at first, there are easy ways to see which cards offer you the best deals, all of them will have to quote the APR that they charge so be sure to compare these, and be sure that you are looking at the standard rates and not at special introductory offers that typically only last for the first six months. Many UK credit cards offer additional features such as cash back on purchases, often the amount that you will get back is such a small amount (typically not more than 0.1%) that you should not put to much emphasis on this when deciding between cards. To get you on track for finding the right credit card, we have compiled a list of the top UK credit card companies. While credit cards are a convenient method for purchasing goods and deferring payment, they should only be used for short-term financing, for longer term financing, and for larger amounts you should look for a loan.
