The RSPCA Credit Card from MBNA, which has helped raise more than £1million for the charity since the relationship began in 2007, now offers eligible new customers zero percent interest on balance transfers and money transfers for up to 24 months from the account opening date* - up from 12 months previously.
The offer applies to transfers made within the first 90 days (a 2.99 percent handling fee applies to balance transfers and a 4.00 percent fee applies to money transfers), and the card also offers zero percent interest on purchases made in the first three months of account opening.
The new RSPCA Credit Card from MBNA is available for consumers to apply for now at http://www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/supportus/creditcard.
When RSPCA Credit Card customers open an account and use their card within the first 90 days - at no cost to them - MBNA will pay the RSPCA £20, and then 25p for every £100 spent by customers on card purchases.
"Passing the £1million milestone is some achievement - and that is all thanks to the support RSPCA Credit Card customers have given over the last seven years," said Michael Donald, Marketing and Commercial executive for MBNA.
"MBNA remains one of the UK's leading co-branded credit card providers with tens of thousands of charity credit cards in the UK market - and we know they continue to offer an important source of revenue for our charity partners. We take great pride in the fact that, through these relationships, we have enabled charity supporters to contribute millions of pounds to a range of national charities," added Donald.
Charity credit cards help consumers regularly give to charity - it is done automatically and at no extra cost, and the chosen charity benefits every time a customer uses the card for purchases.
Representative example 18.9% p.a. variable on card purchases. This is equivalent to 18.9% APR representative variable based on a credit limit of £1200.
