Students up and down the UK looking to eliminate their credit card debt might have a useful tool in the shape of the new plastic from Halifax.
The interest rate of 17.9% is nothing to write home about, but the card has a number of innovative features that should make life much easier. For example, when you sign up you automatically receive free text alerts to inform you that payment is due.
There is also an interest free option on purchases. This is however only available to those who pay off their balance in full the previous month.
