There are currently over 14 million outlets worldwide accepting major credit cards, and around 50 million credit cards in the UK alone. The choice of credit card has reached an all-time peak, with almost 100 providers offering thousands of branded credit cards across the UK.
Here in the Credit Cards Resource Centre we offer independent information and advice on everything you ever needed to know about credit cards, including such issues as the types of credit cards currently available in the UK, credit card comparisons, the application and selection process, the 'ins and outs' of credit agreements, all-important credit card security, and so much more. Whether you're looking to switch provider or simply have a credit card related query, we have all the answers.
Assuming that a credit card is looked after properly, it can be a great financial asset to the card holder. Interest free borrowing is a good incentive, card protection and insurance is also important, and many companies also provide guarantees for online shopping and purchasing on the high street. They also offer a safe and easy way to purchase abroad.
