“WTF is that APR? 66.7% interest?! You’re taking the…” Our comments section can be pretty fiery. We know what you’re thinking – that APR is the interest rate you’ll pay each month, right? Not quite. Honestly, it’s pretty confusing. We surveyed 2,000 people and 90% of them didn't have a clue what Rep APR was. So here’s our Chief Risk Officer, Theso Jivajirajah, in a bubble bath to help explain.

WTF is APR?! We asked, and 90% of people* don’t know what Rep APR actually means. And we get it. Here’s the thing: APR isn’t the monthly rate you’re paying – it’s a bit more complex. Turns out 85% of people don’t know how to calculate the interest they’d pay with an annual purchase rate, either. Think the streets of London can help answer WTF is APR? We went to find out.

We've raised £23.4M to grow our team, launch even better rewards and fast-track our expansion outside the UK 🎉 Over the last year we've added a free membership tier, hundreds of new independent partners around the country, countless product improvements and our personal favourite, Yonder Flights, a new way to use your points on any flight with any airline globally. So if you're sick of trying to hack your rewards card just so you can use your points on something useful, maybe look us up. We might be able to help. We've maintained a 4.5 TrustPilot rating and are the number one ranked credit card with Smart Money People. Our customers really love us (and we love them back... hi!). We've got loads more we want to do though. It's going to be a busy couple of years. Building a world class credit card business isn't easy. But we love to keep busy, so we're doubling down on ways to help you get the most out of your points, adding new partnerships with some of the world's most iconic brands and building more intuitive features to help you use credit responsibly. That's not even the half of it. With this new funding, we'll be taking Yonder on tour and launching outside the UK by the end of next year. Thanks to our new and existing investors Jigsaw VC, RTP Global, LocalGlobe, Northzone & Seedcamp for their continued support. You've always seen the vision and we're really proud to be working with you to get there. We're hiring, so if you want to come hang out with us (in our new office in Hoxton) then we'd love to chat. You can find our open roles on our website. Thanks also to Sifted and Tom Matsuda for covering the news. We've linked the article below.
