Newest Review: ... payment by another name. In terms of value for money, however, all these options are very competitive and easily match the standard APR offered by the nearest equivalent – Egg – which currently stands at 12.9%. In order to reduce costs, and to therefore protect customer savings, the account management process is therefore facilitated exclusively online. The application process takes place online – relatively straight forward and timely – but the credit agreement must still be sent and returned by conventional mail, so the time taken to receive your new card(s) can still be quite lengthy.
