in Credit cards
Hi guys,
Im 18 years old, im just finishing my A-levels. i dont have an income but my parents pay for everything for me. I know that i wont have problems paying off my bills, but clearly no banks will trust that.
Recommendations on ANY credit card firm that will give me a card now?
PLEASE!! thank you so much!

dont bother with a credit card, i asked the same question, just get a current account with a visa or maestro card, it is difficult to get credit at our age and if you do u pay full whack for it (capital one is around 29% APR) which is too much. If you are going to uni wait until then, it is also good to have a regular income as this looks good to the banks, hope iv been some help
(i know how frustrating it is, im in the same boat, im just relaying what responses i got)0 -
just to add to my response i would reccomend you get a job then the bank can see you have a regular flow of income, they like that,0
