What is Asda Money?

As one of the largest supermarket chains in the UK, Asda is a household name when it comes to your weekly shop, but its credit products probably are not the first to come to mind when you’re considering a new credit card.

Asda Money is the trading name of Asda’s financial services, which includes insurance, credit cards, loans and travel money.

Features of the Asda Money Credit Card

Asda’s new credit card is provided by Jaja Finance, a UK-based credit card provider regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Issued on the Visa network, the Asda Money Credit Card is accepted in over 200 countries and territories worldwide.

• App. With the Asda Money Credit Card app, you can manage your account, set up your direct debit and monitor your spending.
• Rewards. With the Asda Rewards app, you can transfer your rewards to your “Cashpot”, where you can redeem your money-off voucher.
• Visa credit card. Issued on the Visa network, the Asda Money Credit Card can be accepted in over 200 countries and territories worldwide.

How do Asda Pounds work?

Similar to cashback, every time you make an eligible purchase on your credit card, you will get rewarded through Asda’s loyalty programme – Asda Rewards.

Once you have started to earn Asda Pounds, you can start spending them by transferring them to your “Cashpot” and converting it into an Asda voucher that can be redeemed at the checkout. Bear in mind that you are limited to spending your cashback at Asda stores, which can be great if you want to save some money on your weekly shop.

To access your Asda Pounds, you’ll need to download the free Asda Rewards app and link it with your credit card.

To make the most out of your credit card, you will need to spend responsibly and make sure you repay your debts in full and in a timely manner.

Approval for any credit card depends on your status. The representative APRs shown represent the interest rate offered to most successful applicants. Depending on your personal circumstances, the APR you're offered may be higher, or you may not be offered credit at all. Fees and rates are subject to change without notice. It's always wise to check the terms of any deal before you borrow. Most of the data in Finder's comparison tables is provided by Moneyfacts.

Repayment options

You can make manual repayments through Asda Money's app by logging in to your online banking or over the phone (0800 783 5881). Alternatively, you may wish to set up a direct debit.

A direct debit protects you from forgetting to make a repayment and either damaging your credit score, getting hit with a penalty fee (£12) or losing any promotional rates as a result.

You can arrange a direct debit for repayments when you apply for the credit card. The table below shows the options available.

Choose from the following direct debit options for your monthly repayments:

Frequently asked questions

• Is the Asda Money Credit Card a physical card?

  Yes, if approved, you will recieve a physical credit card in the post and access to the virtual card on the Asda Money app.

• What credit limit will I get with the Asda Money Credit Card?

  If Asda Money is able to offer you this deal, the offer will specify a personalised credit limit based on Asda Money’s assessment of your situation. The minimum limit offered on the card is £250, while the maximum is £5,000. Once you’ve had the card for a while and shown Asda Money that you’re reliable, you may wish to apply for a credit limit increase.

• Can I withdraw cash using the Asda Money Credit Card?

  Although it’s possible, withdrawing cash from a credit card account is generally not a good idea, as “cash-like transactions” (such as withdrawing cash at an ATM, getting cashback at the till, spending at a casino or buying currency) often incur steep fees and/or higher rates of interest.

  The cash advance fee on the Asda Money Credit Card is 3% (min. £3).

  The interest rate on this part of your balance will be 39.9%, which is 52% more than the standard purchase rate (chargeable from the day of the transaction – the card’s usual “up to 56 days interest-free” grace period won’t apply).

• How much does it cost to use the Asda Money Credit Card abroad?

  Non-sterling transactions are subject to a charge (which is very standard). For example, if you spend 200 euros (£173.36), it’ll cost you around £5.18 in fees.
