Will you be travelling abroad this summer? Be sure to snap up Abbey’s Zero credit card - the only card with no foreign exchange fee or cash advance fee.
Abbey (www.abbey.com) has today relaunched its popular Zero credit card, just in time for the summer holiday getaway.
Like the Post Office credit card (www.postoffice.co.uk), it does not apply a foreign exchange fee, which means it is great for cutting the cost of spending abroad.
The Zero credit card also offers the following benefits:
- 0% interest on balance transfers for 12 months (a 3% transfer fee applies)
- 0% interest on purchases for three months
- No cash advance fee
Roger Lovering, managing director of Abbey credit cards, said that the combination of the card’s ongoing “fee-free credentials” with its competitive introductory deals, mean that “Zero really is the ultimate all-rounder.”
Michelle Slade, analyst at financial website Moneyfacts (www.moneyfacts.co.uk) said: “In recent months other providers have increased [foreign transaction] charges. Coupled with a long balance transfer deal, this card will have a wide appeal.”
The card has an APR of 18.9% and is available in branch, over the telephone and online.
