Clydesdale Bank credit cards

Clydesdale Bank has a limited range of cards to choose from, but aims to cover off a wide range of circumstances.

Clydesdale Bank is part of independent banking group CYBG, which also owns Yorkshire Bank and recently purchased Virgin Money. Despite CYBG being the purchaser, Virgin Money will be the brand that will remain, while the Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank brands are retired.

At the time of writing Clydesdale Bank offers non-business customers a choice of two cards. Whether you’re looking to spread the cost of a large upcoming expenditure, transfer an existing balance to save on interest or avoid fees on overseas spending, a Clydesdale Bank credit card could be worth a closer look.

As part of the Mastercard network, Clydesdale Bank credit cards are accepted in more than 43 million locations worldwide. As a bonus, cardholders have access to exclusive entertainment and travel experiences through the Mastercard Pricless Cities programme.

Types of credit cards available from Clydesdale Bank

With the excellent deals available from Halifax there is no need to pay a high interest rate on your credit card balance. Halifax offers market-leading 0% interest promotions for card spend, and for transferring a balance from a different credit card company. A generous mix of card offers includes low rates for balance transfers and a card that offers a low rate for the lifetime of the card.

• Overseas spending.
  If you travel frequently, you could benefit from the 0% foreign transaction fee on purchases (excluding cash withdrawals) of the B card. You can also enjoy access to Mastercard’s Priceless Cities events and offers. This card also offers an unusually low ongoing interest rate.
• 0% purchases and 0% balance transfers.
  Clydesdale Bank’s Gold Mastercard offers interest-free periods on both existing credit card debt that you transfer to the card on opening, and upcoming purchases you make using the card. If you’re planning a big expenditure on a new card, then comparing 0% purchase cards is a smart place to start. Don’t forget that when the introductory 0% periods expire, any outstanding balance, or purchases from that point onwards, will accrue interest at a much less competitive rate.
