Interest charging information

If interest is payable, it will be charged from the date the transaction is debited to your account until it is paid in full.
 

As interest is charged until the date of full repayment, this means that you may receive a further interest charge the following month even though you have paid your current statement balance in full.

Interest is charged on your average daily balance. By repaying more of your balance, or by making your repayments earlier, you will pay less interest.

Allocation of payments

Payments you make will reduce your balance in the following order:

  1. Default Charges
  2. Promotional balance transfers
