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.

Types of credit card in Yorkshire Bank’s range

  • O% on purchase cards Yorkshire Bank’s purchase card offers 0% interest for a specified period on purchases made using the Gold Mastercard.

With this card, Yorkshire Bank also offers 0% interest on balance transfers for a shorter period than for purchases, however you cannot transfer balances from other Clydesdale or Yorkshire Bank products.

Applying for a Yorkshire Bank credit card

Eligibility requirements

To be eligible for a Yorkshire Bank credit card, you must:

  • Reside in the UK
  • Be 18 or over
  • Not have applied for a Yorkshire Bank credit card in the last 60 days
  • Download the app to use the full range of features
  • Not be currently declared bankrupt, or have had county court judgements or decrees in the last three years

Why might you not be approved?

On the whole, if you meet the eligibility requirements but have a history of bad debt or no credit history at all, you may be rejected. Equally if you are in an IVA or have had a CCJ you may not be accepted. If you have ever declared bankruptcy you are also unlikely to receive a card.
