Credit

Credit can help you manage your money – whether you’re looking to cover planned expenses or need to meet unexpected costs. But it’s important to use it in the right way.

Our guides will help you understand:

  • how credit works
  • what’s the best type for you
  • how to make sure you can afford repayments
  • how to apply for credit
  • what to do if you’re refused credit
  • how to manage your credit well.

So whether you’re new to credit, looking to improve how you manage it or need some support, we can help.
