Making your minimum monthly payment
Making your minimum monthly payment
How we calculate your minimum payment
The minimum payment we ask for is charged on a monthly basis and will be the higher of £25 or the total of:
- Any interest charged, plus
- Any default charges payable, plus
- Payment protection cover/credit card repayments cover (if any), plus
- Any annual fee, plus
- A percentage of the total balance you owe (including interest and charges), as shown in your statement and in line with your terms and conditions.
If you owe less than £25, you must pay the full amount you owe.
Making payments
There are a range of payment options for your account available at MBNA, including:
- By Direct Debit.
- By debit card.
- By cheque.
- At a bank (in branch or online).

Understand how your monthly payments can impact the time it takes to repay your balance. Increasing them could reduce the amount of interest paid.
