What types of credit cards are available from Post Office Money?

Riding on its long-standing reputation, the Post Office brand has now been stamped on all manner of services. It previously worked with Bank of Ireland to provide credit cards, but its new cards are issued by Capital One (best known for catering to those with fair-to-poor credit scores). As such, Post Office Money is acting as a broker, rather than a direct lender.

Post Office Money offers two types of credit card:

• A versatile credit-builder

  The Post Office Money Classic card is a “credit builder” card, and targeted at those with a limited or damaged credit record. It’s intended to offer ongoing credit while helping cardholders to improve their credit scores. These cards are typically easier to get approved for but come with lower credit limits and higher interest rates. With the Classic card, you can be approved for a credit limit between £200 and £8,000, and receive a variable APR between 19.9% and 34.9%, depending on your personal circumstances. The representative variable APR is 34.9%. You may also be eligible for 0% on purchases for up to 12 months, as well as 0% on balance transfers for up to 18 months.

• A travel credit card

  Designed (as the name would suggest) for regular travellers, the Post Office Money Travel card lets you spend money abroad without being charged a foreign exchange fee (most credit cards hit you with a 2.5%-3% currency conversion fee). It offers slightly restricted credit limits compared to the Classic card, with limits from £500 up to £6,000. If you’re approved, you’ll receive a variable APR between 19.9% and 24.9%, with the representative APR at 24.9%.
