Applying for a Zempler Credit Card

You can use a Zempler Credit Card to buy things now and pay for them later, spreading the cost over time if you need to.

It’s good for making regular purchases or for unexpected costs, and is accepted online, in-store and over the phone. It’s up to you whether you pay off your statement balance in full each month, or over time (at least paying the minimum payment each month).

If you’re applying for a business credit card, you can use it to help run your company and take control of  business expenses.

Your card comes with a credit limit which is subject to review from time to time. Just like a typical credit card, you can use it to spend on everyday needs, up to your credit limit.
