Close your Tesco Bank Credit Card account
If you don't want to accept your new interest rates, we'll close your credit card account at your current rates. You'll just need your 16-digit credit card number and a few details.
Before you start:
- Please make sure your details are up to date (we need them to send an email to you to confirm your account closure). You can check and update these through Online Banking.
- If you have overpaid in the past and have a credit balance, you can arrange a Money Transfer through our Mobile App or in Online Banking before returning to this form.
A few important things you need to know:
- Once your account is closed, if this is your only account, it can’t be reopened, and you won’t be able to use Online Banking or our Mobile Banking App. If you've got a balance, we'll send you paper statements so you know how much to pay and when.
- Interest will be charged at the current rate until your balance is £0. If you have recently cleared your balance, you may find there is still interest to be applied to your account. You’ll see this interest on a statement which we will post to the address we have on file. If you have an outstanding balance on your card, interest will continue to be charged at the current rate. If you have a Direct Debit set up, then payments will continue to be taken until your balance is £0.
- If you’ve set up regular payments for things like Netflix or gym memberships, you’ll need to cancel these with the company.
- If you have any Additional Card Holders, you should make them aware that they will no longer be able to use their credit cards.
- If you use your credit card as your Clubcard and now need a separate Clubcard, you can request a replacement by calling 0330 123 1688* (Mon – Fri: 8am – 8pm, Sat 9am – 6pm). Calls may be recorded.
*This number may be included as part of any inclusive call minutes provided by your phone operator.
