The lowdown on Finder Score
To qualify for this category, credit cards must:
- Charge no annual fee for at least 12 months.
Every month, we carefully analyse over 250 credit card products and assess the most important features and benefits of each card.
We assign scores out of 10 for each feature, and adjust the scores depending on what category we're looking at.
Credit card scores are category-specific (e.g. No annual fee, Rewards), meaning the same card will receive a different score within each category.
Our Finder Score methodology is designed by our editorial and insights team. Products are reviewed objectively and commercial partners carry no weight. Remember that Finder Score is just one factor to consider. Look at other aspects like fees, features, benefits and risks to make sure a product is suitable for you. Double-check details that matter to you before applying or buying.
