Can I apply for a credit card with bad credit?

Yes, you can apply for a credit card with bad or low credit. We will look beyond your score when we review your application, because we believe everyone should have access to credit at a fair and affordable price.

Of course, we can never 100% guarantee that you will be accepted as each application will be looked at in its own right. But rest assured we do consider applications from those with a less-than-perfect credit rating.

Will applying for a credit card affect my credit rating?

Applying for a credit card can impact your rating. Each full application leaves a mark on your credit file, too many searches in a short period can therefore have a negative impact on your credit score. Remember: you can use our eligibility checker before you apply to see if you are likely to be approved - this won't affect your credit score. 

And, if you are approved and you repay your monthly repayments on time, it can help improve your rating because it shows lenders that you’re responsible with credit.

A full application does require a credit check which will be visible to other lenders.

How do you decide if my application is approved or not?
