Common store card questions

Payments

  • How are payments allocated if I don’t pay the full balance?

    It starts with higher interest rate balances, covering default fees and charges, then interest, then the cost of your purchases.

  • My payment isn't showing on my account, what should I do?

    If you paid more than 5 working days ago, check with your bank to see if the payment was processed.

    If your payment has been returned, it's because you've used the wrong reference or not added one. It must be your store card account number so we can match it to your account.

    If it's been processed, please get in touch so we can look into it.

  • Fees and charges

    We charge a £12 fee if:

    • you don’t pay the minimum payment by the due date
    • you spend over your credit limit
    • you pay by cheque and it bounces.

  • How is interest charged?

    We charge interest from the day you bought your item until the balance is fully paid (unless you're eligible for a promotional rate).

    You get up to 55 days interest free on all purchases if you pay in full.

If you are worried about paying

  • What if I can’t pay this month?

    We can help if you're worried about paying. Please get in touch with us straightaway.

  • What happens if I miss a payment?

    You’ll be charged a £12 fee. It may also be recorded on your credit report, which could make it harder or more expensive for you to get credit in the future.

Your account

  • My account is in credit - what do I do?

    Your account could be in credit if you've:

    • paid more than the amount due on your statement
    • had a refund.

    A credit shows on your statement as a minus figure with £0 minimum payment due.

    If your account is in credit you can ask us for a credit balance refund.

  • How do I close my account?
  • Letting us know about a bereavement

    After you tell us, we'll make the process of closing the person's account as smooth as possible.

General questions

  • What is a credit reference agency?

    Credit reference agencies are independent organisations that hold information about adults living in the UK - including whether you're on the electoral roll, financial products you have, how much you currently owe and how well you've managed any financial products you've had (for example - have you missed any payments, any County Court Judgments etc). Lenders can request information about you to help them make a decision about lending you money (this is called a credit search).

    There are 3 main credit reference agencies in the UK (Experian, TransUnion & Equifax). For more information:

    www.transunion.co.uk

    www.experian.co.uk

    www.equifax.co.uk

  • What is a credit search?

    When you apply for credit (either with Ikano Bank or with any other lenders), a credit search is carried out. Credit searches help lenders make informed, fair decisions about lending money, as they can see what financial products you have and how well you've managed them in the past.

    The 'search' is where lenders request information about you from credit reference agencies. There are 3 main credit reference agencies in the UK (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax). These agencies hold lots of information about adults living in the UK - including whether you're on the electoral roll, financial products you have, how much you currently owe and how well you've managed any financial products you've had (for example – have you missed any payments, any county court judgments etc).
