Balance transfers Date debited to your account Repaid in full
Credit card cheques Date debited to your account Repaid in full*
* If you pay the balance in full, the interest charge for the period from the previous statement to the date of full repayment will be debited the following month. If you default in the introductory period your account will incur interest at the Select or Profile rate.
Allocation of Payments If you do not pay off your balance in full we will apply payments you make to your account firstly to pay off interest, any fees or charges and insurance premiums. We will then pay off other transactions in date order, paying off the oldest first, but where they have been outstanding for the same length of time, we will pay these off in the following sequence –
1) Balance Transfers
2) Credit Card Cheques
3) Purchases
4) Cash Advances

Within the above order we will pay off transactions on which we charge lower rates of interest before those on which we charge higher rates of interest.
Minimum Repayment • The minimum payment is an amount equal to or at least 2.5% of the outstanding statement balance (or 3.0% where a Profile Rate is applicable to your card) or £5, whichever is greater.
• Only ever making the minimum repayment will significantly increase the time taken to clear your balance and cost you more.
Credit Limit Minimum Credit Limit - £500.00
Maximum Credit Limit - Subject to status
Fees No annual fee
Charges Cash advances – 3% (minimum £3.00)
Balance Transfers – 3% (minimum £3.00)
