Mixed views on interest rate decision
Economists are divided as to how soon the Bank of Englands monetary policy committee is likely to change the base rate of interest.
Many credit card providers will bend over backwards to get you to carry one of their cards – offering you ‘exclusive deals’ or ‘phenomenally low rates’. Though some providers are merely trying to advertise a well-designed product that could prove beneficial to consumers, others are ultimately just trying to get you to sign your cash away on the dotted line.

You’ll find reviews, guides, news and comparison charts all featuring up to date information to help you make the right choice.
