Credit card minimum payments
Learn the minimum monthly payment amount you need to make to your credit card and what to do if you’re unable to make this payment.
The minimum monthly payment amount
If you have a Member Credit Card, Select Credit Card or Nationwide Credit Card, your minimum monthly payment will be any late payment fees and interest due plus 1% of the remaining statement balance (or £25, whichever is greater).
If you have a Gold or Classic Credit Card the minimum payment will be 3% of your statement balance (or £5, whichever is greater).
You can also choose to pay off your statement in full.
Make your payment
There are lots of ways to make a payment to your credit card.
You could set up a Direct Debit. This means the payments will be taken automatically, so you won't have to remember to make a payment each month.
If you don’t want to set up a Direct Debit, you can make a one-off payment online, over the phone or in branch.
Change your payment date
You can view your payment date on your credit card statement in our Internet Bank.
If you need to change your payment date to one that's more convenient, you can do this over the phone.

Persistent debt on your credit card
This is where, over 18 months, you’re paying more in interest, fees and charges than you’re paying off the amount you’ve borrowed with your credit card. This is an expensive way to borrow money. And it will usually take you longer to repay the money you owe.
