• 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

• How can I pay my bill?

  The main ways to pay your bill are by direct debit, debit card, internet banking, at your bank or by cheque.

• How can I manage my account?

  There are three ways that you can manage your account: through the Yorkshire Bank mobile app “B”, online and over the phone.

• How do I transfer a balance?

  If you are a new credit card customer, you can include the balance transfer details on your initial online application. You can also complete the balance transfer request form which you will receive with your application pack, if you did not include the details on your original application.

• Are there any fees with a balance transfer?

  Yes, if you are transferring a balance onto your credit card there will be a charge of a set percentage of the balance.

• How is interest calculated?

  Credit cards have different rates of interest for different types of borrowing, such as purchases, balance transfers and cash withdrawals. You can find details of specific interest rates in the card’s “summary box”. This is a standardised document that all card issuers are required to make available. When you apply for a credit card, the actual rates you are offered may differ from those advertised, but will be made clear to you in your offer.

  Interest is calculated as a percentage of the amount you borrow. The longer it takes you to pay off your balance, the more interest you will have to pay.
