If you are looking for a home loan you can take advantage of our special offer of a fixed interest rate of 4.29% for 2 years.

When you need some extra cash and a personal loan is not an option for you then you could apply for a credit card to help you manage your debt. It is much easier to have an application for a credit card approved than it is to get approved for a personal loan.

Choosing an interest-free credit card

When you apply for a credit card you will be given an introductory offer for a certain number of interest-free days on the card.

This means that any purchases made during the first 44 days won’t cost you any interest as long as you pay off the purchase before the interest-free period is over.

Credit cards allow you to choose a repayment date that can be aligned with your pay frequency as with short-term loans and most forms of credit. It is advisable to set up a direct debit on your account so that you never miss a payment.

The biggest advantage of a credit card is that you will have access to a revolving line of credit and once you pay your bills the funds will be available for you to use again.

Having more than one card

If you have more than one active credit card you should consider a balance transfer, this allows you to merge all outstanding payments onto one credit card on the lower rate credit card.

A balance transfer allows you to save money on interest and will give you some breathing space so you can concentrate on eliminating your debt.

TSB Bank - Competitive rates on credit cards

The best way to avoid paying interest on your credit card is to make sure that you pay the closing balance on the card before the due date. You can find out the purchase date and the due date by looking at your credit card statement.

If you are able to, then set up a direct debit to run automatically. Always try to pay more than the balance that is due. This will help reduce the interest that you are charged monthly. Make payments through the month as this will reduce the daily balance on your card. The interest rate that you are charged is calculated by the daily balance rate.

Understand your credit card statement

Having a credit card can be dangerous if you are prone to overspending and because the credit is revolving you can quickly find yourself in debt if you are not careful.

This is a very common occurance and is well know among people who take out payday loans and other forms of short-term credit. When you make a purchase using your credit card it is important to check your credit card statement and have a good understanding of what it entails.

If you don’t pay off the balance on your credit card you will quickly end up paying a lot more than you first bargained for. The longer you take to settle the balance the more interest you will be paying on your debt.

Know what you are being charged for

Check your credit card statement to find out the interest rate that you will be charged and keep an eye on the charges. Make sure you know what interest rate you will be charged after the introductory offer is over.

Some credit cards charge annual fees in order to receive benefits or earn rewards points while others only offer a few interest free days. If you want to get the most interest free days then you should make your purchases on the first day that you receive your credit card.
