We believe that in modern society, it is all but mandatory for people to use a credit card in order to build a credit rating. We also think that the UK has one of the highest interest rates in the world for loans and credit cards, with representative rates ranging from 35 to 50% depending on the provider.

We believe that research shows that even small debt has severe mental and physical health effects.

President elect Trump has also suggested a 10% cap on credit card interest rates.
