Worst card I have ever had.

Worst card I have ever had. Only signed up so I could use abroad and not incur currency fees. First card only worked 50% of the time using contactless, tried to change pin both online and in branch and was told it’s temperamental .got. Second card and it was just as bad, didn’t work half the time so cannot risk using abroad so going back to Barclaycsrd Freedom which now offers same service and it 100% reliable Reviewed on: 21st April 2024

Brilliant for using on holiday abroad.

Brilliant for using on holiday abroad. Excellent rate of conversion. Feel protected by carrying a card versus £ cash. Reviewed on: 13th January 2024

Payments declined, terrible customer service

1
Travelling in Australia. First decline happened in Singapore after the first purchase went trough ok. Second decline was a £500 purchase using Apple Pay. App chatbot totally useless and recommends a phone call. Spent 45 minutes, most of it on hold, and was told the problem was not with the card but was caused by Apple Pay purchase value limits and it would clear after 24 hours. It didn’t. First transaction the following day worked and the second didn’t. Tried using the physical card and PIN, as suggested by a fraud rep during the call but that didn’t work either. Luckily I have a Monzo card so will be using it for the rest of my holiday. If you were thinking of using a Clarity card for your holiday, think again. I shall be cutting mine up when I get home. Reviewed on: 16th October 2023

Excellent for overseas

As long as you pay it off in full each month there’s no charges, interest and most importantly, no foreign transaction fees. The perfect holiday companion, much better than changing and taking loads of cash abroad! Reviewed on: 24th August 2023
