Coronavirus credit card support

You should try to make at least your minimum monthly payment on time to avoid affecting your ability to get credit in the future. If you are finding it difficult to pay your monthly credit card payments as a result of coronavirus, then remember that you can reduce payments to the minimum amount.

Refund of credit card cash advance fees

Refunds on request for RBS credit card cash advance fees, where you've needed to access cash in an emergency.

Removal of credit card late payment fee

For our RBS credit card customers, we won't charge a late fee for any credit card payments due from 1st April until 30th June 2020. You don’t need to get in touch, we’ll do this automatically.

Payments and direct debits

If you have a direct debit set up for your monthly payments, you can cancel that via the mobile app or through Digital Banking. You can still make one off payments every month to ensure you pay at least your minimum  monthly payment

Credit card payment holiday

If you still feel that you cannot pay the minimum, then we could provide a credit card payment break without impacting your credit score. This would mean for 3 months, you will only pay £1 per month. Interest will still be applied during this time so your minimum payment may be higher than usual once the payment break ends. If you have an instalment plan setup, this will be cancelled and your remaining balance will be added to your overall credit card balance.


To apply, log into our mobile app, simply tap 'Help' at the bottom of the screen followed by 'Message us' and quote 'coronavirus credit card' in your message.

Keep balances separate by using a second credit card for a specific purchase, event or type of spending.

It's important to remember that a second credit card will mean you could have two balances to pay off every month, including accrued interest. There may also be two annual fees to pay, if you choose a card with an annual fee.

Eligibility applies. You cannot open a second credit card of the same type as your current card.
