Paying your credit card from overseas

How to make payments from overseas.

If you’ve got a UK bank account or debit card, you should be able to make payments online or by phone, even if you’re outside the UK. There’s more information in the sections above.

Otherwise, most overseas banks should be able to arrange a BIC or SWIFT payment to us. You’ll need these details:

IBAN: GB38LOYD30675699067997
BIC/SWIFT: LOYDGB21705

Keep in mind...

  • If you have a Direct Debit set up and are making additional payments to your account during the month we may still collect your Direct Debit in full.
  • Processing times can vary, so check with the overseas bank when you set up your payment.

Key points about credit card payments

  • You can make payments to your credit card account at any time, but you need to pay at least the minimum amount shown on your statement each month. 
  • If you can't pay the whole statement balance, it's a good idea to pay as much as you can, as it may help to keep any interest costs down.
  • If you only make the minimum payment each month, it'll take longer and cost you more to pay off your balance.
  • If you miss or make a late payment, you are likely to be charged a late fee and damage your credit rating. You could also lose any promotional rates on your credit card and have to pay the standard interest rate instead.
  • Set up a regular Direct Debit payment and we’ll automatically claim your selected payment amount when it’s due. 
  • If a Direct Debit isn’t taken for 37 months, it will become inactive, and your bank or building society will remove the details from their systems. If this happens, you’ll need to set up a new one.
  • You can also make payments, instead or in addition to a Direct Debit, from a bank account, with a debit card, by cheque or with cash at a branch. 
  • If you choose to make one-off payments, just make sure that the method you use will get your payment to us on time. 
  • You can request to change your payment due date to better suit your needs, e.g. if you usually receive your salary later than your due date falls. The fastest way to do this is through Internet Banking on a laptop or desktop computer. From your credit card account summary, select ‘More actions’, then ‘Paying your credit card’, then 'Request payment due date change'.
