AI doing its own thing with online payments?
Autonomous action by AI has already spread online payments, as well as AI developers. A cautionary tale. Last night I tried to buy some unexciting car parts online from a well known (ie. legitimate) Audi supplier. I did so using a link supplied by them with a pre completed on line invoice. I tried to pay with Barclaycard:…

NatWest needs IT staff
I started life with a Sainsburys credits card. Recently it was taken over by NatWest. I have to say at this stage that the changeover was straightforward and fine. I even helped my friend to transfer. The card continued as a master card until earlier this year I was informed this was changing to Visa. Fast forward until…

Halifax Clarity card moving from MasterCard to Visa
I've had a Halifax Clarity card for many years, originally acquired for its cost-effective handling of transactions when abroad.

How does an interest free period actually work?
Apologies if this is a simple question but I haven't had a credit card for a long long time. I've applied for a card with "15 months interest free" on spending. Does this mean I can spend up to the credit limit over 15months, save the cash to get interest and then pay it off? I was hoping so but I might be making a big…

I have an email from Lloyds telling me my MBNA card will be switched from Mastercard to Visa in the coming months.

Also this used to be an affinity card,…
