Managing credit cards.
A few simple tips.
Create a budget and stick to it.
Keep track of where you spend your money.
Keep receipts.
And only use your MBNA credit card to borrow what you can afford to repay.
You'll need to make at least the minimum payment each month.
Better still, clear your balance in full. Or make extra payments each month if you can.
Paying more than the minimum each month will reduce the overall cost to you in the long run.
There are loads of ways to pay.
You can pay by direct debit, over the phone with a debit card using online card services, with the MBNA app or by arranging a payment at your bank.
If you're struggling to keep up with your MBNA credit card payments we're on hand to help.
Call us on 0800 056 7298.

You can choose to pay the minimum, full or a fixed payment each month.
And, of course you can always make additional payments to clear your balance faster.

It's easy to set up a direct debit using online card services or by giving us a call.

Card security in gaming.
Computer games.
Mobile games.
They're great fun, until you get a bill for in-app or in-game purchases that's larger than expected.
Because when you sign up, you usually save your payment details online.
It makes payments super easy for you, but also super easy for any children who might play on your device too.
So whether it's a game or an app, when you save your details online, it's important to stay safe.
So, here are three top tips.
One, consider not saving your payment details on your mobile or games console. It's less convenient but more secure.
Two, if you do save your payment details, use a different password for every account and consider disabling touch or face ID for in-app or game purchases.
Three, monitor your account for unusual or unrecognised transactions.
If you follow these tips you can make payments safer. And keep them more secure whilst still enjoying those little games.

Residual interest.
What's that all about?
Well, interest might be charged when you borrow money but you might not know how it's charged.
Interest will start to accumulate daily on the total amount you owe in accordance with your terms and conditions.
Every month you'll pay some of it off.
But what happens is when you pay off the full statement balance? Well, assuming you don't make any new transactions, you'll get another statement which will include a final interest charge.
That's what's known as residual interest.
This covers the period between your last statement being issued and the date your full balance payment reaches us.
But once that second statement is paid off you're all paid up.
So there you go.
Residual interest.
There's more about how interest is charged in your account terms and conditions.
Residual interest
It’s important to understand what charges might apply when clearing your balance, so we’ve also created a video to give you a simple overview on what’s known in the credit industry as ‘residual interest’.
