When reaching your decision, in addition to comparing credit cards using the facts above, it is helpful to keep in mind exactly how you plan on using it.
For example, our three-year fixed rate card has a lower APR for the first three years of your account, and this may well be a factor in your final choice. You may be attracted to the benefits offered by our Members' card, such as the cashback you can earn and you may wish to investigate becoming a member if you aren't already.
If you would like further guidance, you can come and see us in your local branch or consult our credit card FAQs to see if we’ve already answered your question.
