Five top tips on using your Student card
Getting to grips with using a credit card can take a little while. So, here’s some tips to help bring you up to speed.
Credit cards are great for short-term borrowing but are less suited to borrowing in the long-term. If you need to borrow larger amounts over longer periods, consider a loan or free overdraft facility
Whenever you can, pay your monthly bill in full to avoid interest charges. Even if you cannot pay in full, paying as much as you can but at least the minimum, will keep interest charges down.
However much you pay, always pay your bills on time. Paying late will incur charges and will show up on your credit record. The easiest way to make sure you never miss a payment is to set up a direct debit.
It’s important to be careful about how and when you use your credit card; here are a few simple rules to save you from being a victim of credit card fraud or theft:
Never lend your credit card to anyone.
Never leave your credit card or receipts lying around
Don't tell anyone your PIN
Always check your receipts against your monthly statements, report any errors to your credit card provider. Keep a record of card numbers, expiry dates and phone numbers in a safe place separate from your cards.
Don't give your account number over the phone unless you've initiated the call
The simplest tip of all – think about what you are spending and if you cannot afford to borrow, don't.
