The Representative APR helps you to quickly compare different products offered by your lender and other lenders, using an assumed credit card usage and credit limit for illustrative purposes.

The Representative APR assumes that you make purchases to the full extent of a €1,500 credit limit (inclusive of Government Stamp Duty charge of €30), and you repay in 12 equal monthly repayments and interest rates remain the same.

Lending criteria, terms and conditions apply. Credit facilities are subject to repayment capacity and financial status and are not available to persons under 18 years of age. Government stamp duty, currently €30, is charged annually per credit card account.

Warning
If you do not meet the repayments on your credit card, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit, a hire-purchase agreement, a consumer-hire agreement or a BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) agreement in the future.
