in Credit cards
Hi looking for a credit card with 0% on purchases and balance transfers. Found Unison card with 0% for 9 months on purchases and also balance transfers. Is this card safe? Is there a catch?

You have to go out on strike when the union says so and support the Labour Party. Also, drink in working mens clubs and wear a cloth flat cap.
Really though, why shouldnt it be safe?0 -
The Unison Credit Card is issued by Bank of Scotland as an affinity card.
You should be aware that there's a 3% fee for balance transfers and that if you miss a payment or make one late you will probably lose your 0% rate as well as be hit with a £12 fee.
The card's web site implies that the cars is solely for Unison members. Depending on how much you're planning on borrowing, £3 a week union fees will probably wipe out any benefit of 0% interest!
Cheers
