About uSwitch

uSwitch is a comparison and switching service that helps you to compare prices on a range of products and services.

Our services can be accessed digitally and via the telephone. We aim to help you take advantage of the best prices and services on offer from our suppliers.

How do we work?

We have commercial agreements in place with some suppliers across all our services. We then charge suppliers a small fee when we switch customers to them, as such we can, therefore, offer consumers a free service. In some instances allowing us to negotiate exclusive deals that are not available directly from the supplier.

What is a credit card?

Credit cards are a way of borrowing money to pay for your bills, goods, or services. And once you’ve reached a pre-approved credit limit also known as ‘maxing out’ point – then you won’t be able to spend any more on the card until you’ve paid off some of the debt. It’s really that simple. Each month you are required to pay off at least the minimum amount of what you owe on the card. Take note, if you don’t pay this you’ll soon begin to pay interest on what you’ve borrowed.

uSwitch Services

We have a wide range of credit cards on offer suitable for your individual needs.

A credit card can help you spread expenses over an extended period, or buy a new car or finally go on that holiday you always dreamed of. We also have a range of short-term loan options.

  2. By using the eligibility checker you reduce the chances of being rejected for credit cards and potentially damaging your credit score
  3. This will not affect your credit score

What is a credit card eligibility checker?
