Looking for a 0% new purchase credit card? This table shows you The Motley Fool's best deals on 0% new purchase credit cards. Search, compare and apply online.

Some credit card providers offer 0% interest rate on all purchases made with their credit card. The 0% interest period varies depending on the credit card issuer, but in some instances it is possible to get up to 12 months’ interest-free credit on all purchases.

0% interest on purchases means that you can leave your money sitting in your bank earning you interest for a while rather than handing it over as soon as you make a purchase.

Credit cards offering 0% interest on purchases also give you the option of spreading your payments, and are therefore a cheap alternative to expensive high street credit.
