About your 0% offer
If you miss a monthly repayment we won't remove your 0% offer. But you could still be charged a late payment fee. We'll also update you on your 0% offer expiry and repayment progress with regular emails and alerts.

0% interest on balance transfers
Please remember once your offer period ends, our credit cards offer the standard interest free period up to 56 days, as long as balances are paid in full.
What you should know
If you carry any balance forward from a previous month (including 0% balance transfers), after your 0% purchase offer has ended, then interest will be charged on purchases from the date they are debited to your account.
Close
Paying your credit card
To make it really convenient, there are a number of ways you can pay every month.
Making a payment - in detail Close
Close
Making a payment
There are several ways you can pay your credit card. The most common is setting up a Direct Debit. Once you’ve set it up, the payment will be taken automatically each month. You can choose to pay the minimum amount, a fixed amount or your full credit balance every month.
You can also make a payment in the mobile app or Online Banking.
If you do not hold a NatWest current account you can also pay your Credit Card from another UK bank account using Open Banking (Payit) via the mobile app or, if you wish you can arrange payment by direct debit, via Online or Telephone Banking with your current account.
Our repayment calculator will show you how much faster you might be able to clear your credit card balance if you pay more than the minimum amount.
What you should know
If you set up a Direct Debit for the minimum, fixed or full amount, the payment is claimed 25 calendar days from the statement date, or shortly afterwards.

Other charges or fees

Potential charges and fees
Late paying
If you’re late paying, we’ll charge you a fee of £12. That’s why setting up a Direct Debit makes sense – you’ll never be late paying again. We get that little mistakes are easy to make, so if you miss your payment due date by just one day, we won't charge you the late payment fee.
Over your limit
If you go over your limit we’ll charge you a fee of £12. If you only go over your limit by £12 or less, we won’t charge you. A good way to avoid going over your limit is to log onto NatWest Online Banking or fire up our mobile app and check your balance before you make your next card purchase.
For full details of fees, please see the Summary Box in the Ready to apply section below.

Spread the cost of your purchase
Need to make a big purchase and don’t want the money to come out of your current account? A credit card Instalment Plan could be a good way to spread the cost.
Instalment Plans - in detail Close
Close
Instalment Plans
You will need the NatWest mobile app to set up, track and manage an Instalment Plan. Then, you can repay eligible credit card purchases or expired 0% balance transfer offers between £100 and £3000 inclusive. If Instalment Plans are available to you, we’ll let you know via our mobile banking app by adding an ‘eligible instalment plan flag’ to your transaction, or as a notification when your 0% balance transfer offer has expired.
With an Instalment Plan, you can:
- Pay back your purchase over a set period that suits you. This can be between 3 to 24 months.
- Avoid interest and pay a set fee each month instead. The fee could end up being cheaper than your standard credit card interest rate.
- Make an easy repayment budget by avoiding hidden costs.
Learn more about Instalment Plans and how to create one
What you should keep in mind
- Instalment Plans are for existing credit card customers only, eligibility criteria and monthly fees apply.
- To be eligible your transaction needs to be either on your latest statement or applied to your account since your last statement was produced. You cannot have a cash balance on your credit card account.
- Your monthly payments and fee will vary according to the size of your purchase and how long you’re taking out the plan for.
- The Instalment Plan counts as existing credit limit, which means you can’t free up additional funds by moving a purchase to an Instalment Plan. The Instalment Plan should be lower than your usual repayment interest on your card.
