I cannot fault Aqua

I cannot fault Aqua. The application was seamless. The charges are competitive and most of all totally transparent. The App is very easy to use and very useful. What more can I say?

The card seems fine

The card seems fine, got it without a hitch, not sure about interest rates though, got charged interest in the first couple of months, did get it back, but cant seem to find out if I have interest free credit, which most cards have, should have checked 😳
Have just been intouch Michelle and there is no interest free credit on my account. Grateful for the clarification.
I will be closing this asap, £10 interest this month, 😔
