Abbey Credit Cards

Abbey was known as Abbey National until it re-packaged and re-launched its brand in 2003.

In 2004 it became part of the Santander Group, and now provides a range of financial services including current accounts, loans, mortgages, insurance and credit cards.

The Abbey credit card typically offers cardholders a long 0% period for balance transfers (subject to a 2.5% fee).

However, uniquely the Abbey credit card will now give cardholders wishing to use the card for new spending a whopping 5% cashback on the first £1,000 spent on the card on supermarket shopping before 31/1/08.
