PC WORLD last week launched the PC World Marbles credit card, developed in association with HFC Bank.

According to the Dixons Group-owned chain, the new credit card offers the longest interest-free period on the market: 0% pa interest for nine months from account opening on retail purchases and balance transfer.

As well as being co-branded with HFC's successful Marbles brand, the card provides a competitive rate of interest (currently 14.9% APR) and regular offers on purchases at PC World and targeted promotions. One of the opening offers was a 10% PC World discount voucher.

Applications for the PC World Marbles credit card can be made in all 120 PC World stores nationwide or on-line via www.pcworld.co.uk or www.marbles.com/pcworld.

Customers can choose how to manage their account to best suit their needs--on-line, by phone or by post.

Peter Keenan, PC World's marketing director, said: "The highly competitive rate and personal, preferential offers make this the perfect credit solution for PC World customers.

"We try to offer customers the best products, best value and the best customer service and our new credit card complements these three priorities. The card provides all the features of a traditional store card with exclusive offers."
