Assumed credit limit
Annual fee
The representative example is a tool that all lenders use to help you compare the cost of borrowing in one handy format.
A purchase rate is the interest rate charged when buying most goods or services on a credit card. If you pay off the full card balance each month, you will not be charged interest on purchases.
The Representative APR is the annual percentage rate that’s used to indicate the full cost of borrowing from us. This includes any up-front fees spread over a year.
The assumed credit limit is a guide limit we need to quote when we’re explaining the typical costs within the representative example. We’ve used £1200 as a guide, but the actual credit limit you receive will depend on your circumstances.
The annual fee simply confirms the fee you'll pay annually as part of your agreement with us. With The NatWest Credit Card, there's no annual fee. Nice and simple.
We treat all applications on an individual basis, so the purchase rate and APR you get is determined by your own circumstances and credit history. Most successful applicants will receive the Representative APR displayed.
Your actual credit limit and APR may vary depending on our credit assessment of you.
You may receive higher than our standard purchase rate of 9.9% p.a. (variable) up to 18.9% p.a. (variable) and higher than our balance transfer rate of 6.9% p.a. (variable) up to 14.9% p.a. (variable) upon application. Interest on fees and charges is payable in line with our terms and conditions. See the summary box document (PDF, 48KB) for more details.

Balance transfers - in detail
What is a balance transfer?
A balance transfer is when you move a credit card balance from one credit card provider to another. This type of offer could help reduce your monthly credit card payments and/or clear your debt quicker.
How it works
If your application is successful, we'll contact your existing card issuers. We'll then transfer across what you owe on your old card onto The NatWest Credit Card.
You can transfer any amount, up to 95% of your available credit limit. The minimum balance transfer amount is £100. Please note, you cannot transfer a balance from another Royal Bank of Scotland Group credit card.

Spread the cost of your purchase
Spread the cost of your purchase - in detail
Like most UK credit cards, our range of cards offer 56 days interest free credit on purchases if you pay your balance (and your previous month's balance) in full and on time each month. That means if you want to make a big purchase, for example plane tickets or a new sofa, a credit card could be a good way to help you buy now and spread the cost.

Other charges or fees
Other charges or fees - in detail
Late paying
If you’re late paying, we’ll charge you a fee of £12. That’s why setting up a Direct Debit makes sense – you’ll never be late paying again. We get that little mistakes are easy to make, so if you miss your payment due date by just one day, we won't charge you the late payment fee.
Over your limit
If you go over your limit we’ll charge you a fee of £12. If you only go over your limit by £12 or less, we won’t charge you. A good way to avoid going over your limit is to log onto NatWest Online Banking or fire up our mobile app and check you balance before you make your next card purchase.
For full details of fees, please see the Summary Box in the Ready to apply section below.
Paying your credit card
Making a payment - in detail
There are several ways you can pay your credit card. The most common is setting up a Direct Debit. Once you’ve set it up, the payment will be taken automatically each month. You can choose to pay the minimum amount, a fixed amount or your full credit balance every month.
You can also make a payment in the mobile app or online banking.
Our repayment calculator will show you how much faster you might be able to clear your credit card balance if you pay more than the minimum amount.
Our repayment calculator will show you how much faster you might be able to clear your credit card balance if you pay more than the minimum amount.
What you should know
If you set up a Direct Debit for the minimum or fixed amount, the payment is claimed 25 calendar days from the statement date, or shortly afterwards. If you set up a Direct Debit for the full credit card balance, the payment is claimed 15 calendar days from the statement date, or shortly afterwards.
