Store Cards

A form of credit available for store purchases.
A restricted form of credit, Store Cards act as Credit Cards in those shops that the card is accepted. Purchases are made using the card, and then a consolidated bill is sent at the month's end, which is then settled in a manner similar to a Credit Card.


Store cards are usually accepted in all stores belonging to the same retail group. For example, the House of Fraser store card is accepted in Rackhams and House of Fraser stores, as these are parts of the same company.


They are not likely to be accepted in any other stores, or in branches of that store outside the UK . You would not, for instance, be able to make purchases in an Ikea store in Sweden using your UK Ikea store card. However a few cards, most notably the Style card, are accepted across a network of UK retailers.
