    Do you mean a deposit for a rental property?

    If so - some letting agents accept credit cards, but most don't - so you'll need to ask the specific agent you're dealing with.

    If they do accept credit cards, they're likely to charge a handling fee.
  • sorry yes i meant renting so a deposit around £2000

    So maybe check which letting agents in your area accept credit cards, and only look at properties through those agents.

    And expect to pay a card handing fee of 2 or 3%
