Understanding fees, representative APR and key terms

Representative APR indicates the typical rate most applicants receive; your actual APR depends on credit. Confirm duration of any 0% period. Check terms.

Money transfer and balance transfer fees vary; often a percentage or fixed fee applies. Read exact charges, minimum fees and any promotional fee caps.

Interest-free periods apply to purchases if you pay your balance in full each month. Transfers and fees may have separate interest rules and timings.

Always make at least the minimum payment by the due date to avoid late fees and penalty rates. Missed payments harm your credit score and costs rise.

Read the full terms and conditions and key facts sheet before applying. Keep statements, monitor transactions and contact MBNA customer services for queries.

Money transfer feature: limits, fees and processing times

Check MBNA’s money transfer limits and promotional rates: there may be a maximum amount and an introductory 0% period; verify before applying.

Money transfer fees are usually a percentage of the amount or a minimum fee. Read the precise rate, any fee caps and how charges apply to transfers.

Processing times vary: transfers may post immediately, within a few working days, or after the promotional period starts. Allow for bank processing.

MBNA may set individual transfer limits and maximums per offer. You can split amounts across cards but fees and promo rules still apply; plan ahead.

Confirm the transfer date when interest starts and monitor statements. Paying promptly avoids charges. Contact MBNA UK support for any transfer queries.

If declined, MBNA will explain reasons and soft options for reconsideration. Check your credit report, correct errors and reapply when eligible.

Improving approval chances and managing the card responsibly

Review your credit report, correct errors, reduce card balances and limit new applications. Stable income, residency and steady employment boost approval odds.

Gather accurate ID, payslips and recent bank statements. Use pre-qualification tools to check chances; a soft search helps preserve your credit file.

Keep credit utilisation low by paying balances down. Set a direct debit for at least the minimum payment and monitor statements to avoid surprises.

Plan transfers wisely: calculate fees and repayment pace so promotional rates end with no balance. Use calculators and set reminders for promo expiry.

Use the card for planned purchases, avoid maxing out, and contact MBNA early if you struggle. Seek free UK debt advice from Citizens Advice or StepChange.
