What is the minimum payment?

Please refer to your monthly statement for your personal minimum payment details.

How to make a payment

To make a payment off your credit card, just choose one of the easy ways below.

BACB Credit Cards can now accept Faster Payments.

Online

You can use our online banking service to make a debit card payment or to set up a direct debit. You'll need to register for online servicing first.

You can also make an online payment or set up a standing order through any other bank. If you'd like to make an online payment you’ll need to provide your bank with the following information:  

• Our sort code (12-50-18) and account number (00030088).
• Your reference number, which is your 16 digit card number (it is important that this is correct).
• Please allow four working days for your payment to reach us by the payment due date.

Direct Debit

If you are registered with our online banking service, you can set up a direct debit online. Alternately you can call our Customer Service team to set up a direct debit.

You can set your direct debit for the minimum or full monthly payment. You can also choose between a fixed payment or a percentage of your balance.

To set up a Direct Debit you'll need to provide us with your bank account number and sort code.

   
By post

Simply complete the payment slip attached to the bottom of your statement, and send with a cheque to (or return in the envelope provided with your monthly statement):

BACB Card Services
8-10 Mansion House Place London, EC4N 8BJ, UK

Make your cheque payable to the cardholder (the person whose name appears on the statement e.g. Mr James Brown) and your 16 digit card/account number – this may be different to the way you normally write a cheque. Please allow seven working days for your payment to reach us.

Important information

When making payments, please make sure you're aware of the following:

• Do not send cash in the post.
• Remember to allow extra time for your payment to reach us during Bank Holiday periods.
• There is a £12 charge if you do not make at least your minimum monthly payment by the payment due date.
• For more information about making a payment off your credit card, please see the reverse of your monthly statement, or contact our Customer Service team.

The credit card summary page provides you with an overview of your BACB's Credit Card account.

We can only set your Direct Debit online for your minimum monthly payment. We can, however, arrange to set up a Direct Debit for your total outstanding balance, a fixed amount, or a percentage of your balance.   

The quickest way to do this, is to call us.  You can also complete this Direct Debit Mandate and send it to:

When you are completing the Direct Debit Mandate, please use the following Originator's Identification Number:

• Gold Card – 800316
• Any other Card Type - 800293

You will need to continue to make manual monthly payments until a message appears on your monthly statement telling you that your payments will be collected by Direct Debit.  We will collect your full monthly payment using this method, every month, even if you make additional payments, or a credit/refund is applied to your account.

You can advise us of your new bank/building society account details, or change the amount that you pay.

Use a different anniversary or you can choose the same number as your other card if that is easier to remember.

   
Nectar points on purchases

Every time you shop with your BACB Nectar Credit Card or BACB Gold Credit Card we'll give you 2 Nectar points for every £1 you spend. That's doubling your Nectar points on every BACB shop when you swipe your Nectar card.

Not receiving any Nectar points?

There could be a number of reasons for this:

• Your Nectar card must be linked to your credit card; call the Customer Service team to do this.
• You cannot earn Nectar points on balance transfers or cash withdrawals.
• Not all cards are eligible for points. To find out if you can collect Nectar points on your card, please call the Customer Service team.
