Barclaycard and orange launch new credit card

Users of the new OrangeBarclaycard credit card can choose to set a spending limit if they are Orange customers.

They are then sent an SMS alert when they get close to spending their allocated budget, helping them to keep control over their finances.

The typical variable rate on the card is 18.9% for purchases or 29.9% for cash withdrawals.

Customers can also earn one Orange credit card reward point for every £1 spent, which can be spent at high street shops.

Orange customers buying products or services from the mobile phone firm with their card will receive three months interest free on their first purchase.

Contactless payment technology can be used for payments under £10.
