Making a change to your account

Add or remove a cardholder

You can add up to 3 additional cardholders to your account, as long as they’re aged 18 or over. This could help you to keep track of all spending in one place.

Each cardholder will get their own card and PIN to use, giving them access to your credit limit.

Just be aware:

• Additional cardholder requests are subject to security checks.
• As the main cardholder, you’ll be responsible for all spending and repayments on the account.
• If you remove a cardholder, you’re responsible for their credit card until it’s destroyed. If you can’t get the card back, please contact us. It’s useful to know that you can freeze cards or certain transaction types using the Mobile Banking app, giving you more control.
• Additional cardholders won’t be able to access or manage your account, online or otherwise. If you need support with managing your account, our help centre pages are a good place to start.
   

You can add a cardholder in 2 ways:
Login or register for Internet Banking. From your credit card account summary, select ‘More actions’, then ‘Account services’.

Call 0345 964 5645. Speak to an adviser 7am-11pm, seven days a week. If you choose to call, you’ll need your 16-digit credit card number.

Change your credit limit

To request a credit limit increase, you’ll need a payment history of at least six months on your account. We’ll only offer you an increase if we think you can afford it. You can ask to lower your credit limit at any time.

If you’d prefer not to receive these offers in future, let us know by calling 0345 964 5645 (Mon-Sun, 7am - 11pm). You can call us to change this preference any time.
