CREDIT CARDS

The UK now has a bewildering array of credit cards. Each has its own stengths and weaknesses and, at the end of the day, the choice is yours. It is worth remembering however, that the new breed of on-line financial service providers tend to have lower overheads. This is usually reflected in their charges.
