About DND Finance

DND Finance is a multi-national finance company helping thousands of underserved corporate and consumer finance arenas in both the UK and Canada for over 20 years. As a division of D&D Leasing UK, the company was founded by Bill Dost, offering business financing solutions in the loan, vehicle, equipment finance and leasing markets in the UK. DND Finance has recently launched its Score Mastercard® in the UK, providing a credit building solution to both consumers and companies looking to establish a positive trade history.

How It Works

The Score Mastercard is a secured credit card that is designed to help you build or rebuild your credit. It works just like a regular credit card. But similar to a prepaid card, it requires a pre-funded deposit that acts as security equal to your approved credit limit. For more information, You can also check out this video here

.

The Score Mastercard® is a perfect solution if you:

  • Have ever been declined for a credit application
  • Are a Newcomer to the UK looking to establish credit in the country
  • Have completed a past bankruptcy or IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement), and are looking to rebuild your credit
  • A business looking to establish your company’s credit history while managing your expenses
  • A Student building credit for the first time
  • Want to rebuild your credit but don’t want to get into unaffordable consumer debt
  • Want the highest chance of getting approved for a credit card, regardless of your past credit history
  • Minimum eligibility requirements require that applicants must be UK residents aged 18 or over, with a valid UK bank account, subject to successful identity and residency verification. DND does not have a minimum credit score requirement for the Score Mastercard, which makes it unique to the UK. See www.scorebydnd.com/card-agreements for full Terms and Conditions.

Use the Score Mastercard® to make everyday purchases that you can afford. By managing your card and repaying the minimum payment required each month, your repayment history is reflected to all the major UK credit agencies. Providing you make your minimum payments on time, the history will show future lenders that you are a responsible borrower.

Your Score Mastercard payment history is reported to the credit reference agencies in the UK every month. As long as you use your card wisely and repay it on time this will reflect positively on your credit profile.

DND does not have a minimum credit score requirement for the Score Mastercard, which makes it unique to the UK.

Shariah compliant means simply that a product or service is complying with Islamic Law. That means for a finance product like a credit card they have to comply with the Shariah rules as mentioned by AAOIFI (2017), Shariah Standard No. (2): Debit Card, Charge Card and Credit Card, and other relevant principles and rulings.

Score Mastercard has been certified and approved by Shariah Experts, who reviewed all aspects of the Score Mastercard by DND Finance. This included reviewing its fee-based structure, and understanding how APR applies to the Score Mastercard. All credit cards will have an APR as required by UK regulations. While the Score Mastercard has an APR, it does not charge interest on purchases.

    There could be many reasons that your application was rejected. DND has a set criteria for the approval of its credit card and we are required to adhere to these by the Financial Conduct Authority. Based on the information provided in your application and the details from the credit reference agencies, you have not met DND’s minimum criteria for the Score Mastercard. We recommend you obtain a copy of your credit file with a credit agency and check the information held within it before reapplying. If you would like to apply again or if your circumstances have changed, we would recommend waiting at least 3 months before submitting another application.

    Interest Rate & Fees

    There are both up-front fees to activate your card, as well as ongoing monthly costs to maintain access to your card as a credit building solution. Whether you are a personal cardholder, or a business, you can see a comprehensive list of all fees here.

    APR is the cost of borrowing money over a year on a credit card or loan. The APR includes the interest rate and other charges such as an annual fee or arrangement fee.

    Lenders are required by UK regulations to display a representative APR. A representative example will be calculated using an assumed credit limit of £1,200 and it allows you to compare between lenders and products.

    APR is calculated using a specific set of rules as set out by the Financial Conduct Authority. This states that all credit card companies must assume that a customer is taking out a £1,200 credit card. At that point all fees, dues and subscription costs are included in the APR calculation. In the case of the Score Mastercard, this means that we include the one time credit access fee as it applies to £1,200 in credit of £120 gbp plus the monthly subscription of £19.99 a month and the interest rate of 0.00%. Taken together this calculates to 29.99% for the personal card. What this means is that the second year the card becomes less expensive because there is no one time credit access fee. Unlike many other card companies who charge interest, that interest rate is charged every year.

    The Score Mastercard by DND does not charge interest on purchases or outstanding balances on the Score Mastercard. Ever. This is our promise to you. However, for personal cards, we do charge a one-time credit access fee of 10%, which is calculated on your desired credit limit. This means that if you choose a £1,200 GBP credit limit, your required transfer will be £1,200 (for your credit limit) + (£120) for DND’s one-time Credit Access Fee, for a total of £1,320.

    The Score Mastercard does not charge purchase interest or late interest of any kind. The 10% fee is a one-time Credit Access Fee to cover the costs of setting up your Score account. To stay part of the Score community, we charge a monthly subscription fee.

    The APR calculation includes all fees and interest which make up the cost of borrowing over a year. In the case of the Score Mastercard, there is NO INTEREST charged. Ever. However, there are fees, therefore the APR is above 0.00%. The Score Mastercard is one of the few cards that is less expensive the second year, because you are only paying the monthly subscription fee in that year.
