    34.9%, MBNA have been putting people upto rates near there on standard cards.

    Granite is run by Vanquis, like other credit cards, pay off every months and its free.

    At 35% it's hardly loan shark territory, and if it's paid off each month, then no interest is due anyway.

    I was expecting to see 100% apr + judging by the title. Nothing out of the ordinary and it is a Vanquis card.

    Does anyone know if the Granite Card has online account access?

    I know it is run by Vanquis but can you log in to their website with your card details?

    I am not sure if I would qualify for one of these yet, but will eventually need a CC to be able to hire a car for getting back to work after a long illness. I doubt I am a good risk at the moment.
