Buy what you need. Pay at your pace.

Budget Booster is a debit card you can use at any checkout that accepts Mastercard. The boost? When money's tight, spread the cost of your purchases over the months ahead - backed by a revolving credit account - so there's always enough left at the end of the month.

What is Budget Booster?

A debit card with a boost built in

A debit card, first

Spend your own money at any checkout that accepts Mastercard - in store, online and contactless. Day to day, it works like any other debit card.

The boost

When a purchase would leave the month too tight, spread its cost over the months ahead instead of paying it all at once - the revolving credit account behind your card picks it up.

Enough left, every month

Steady, predictable repayments mean you always know what's leaving your account - and as you repay, your credit frees up to use again.

Why Budget Booster

Made for real life

Everything a modern card should do - with the budgeting boost behind it.

Spend anywhere

Use your card wherever Mastercard is accepted - online and in store.

Start small, grow

Pay on time and your limit grows with you.

Rates that fall

Keep up your payments and your rate comes down.

Save as you borrow

Build a savings pot alongside your spending, bit by bit.

You're in control

Freeze your card, block gambling spend, set spend limits and check your PIN - all yourself, in seconds.

Life happens

Money tight? Switch some or all of what you owe - even a single purchase - to fixed monthly payments, spread over longer.

How it works

Three simple steps

Apply online

It takes minutes. Quick decision, no paperwork. Your card and starting credit limit arrive within days.

Spend as normal

Use it like any debit card - your own money, at any checkout that accepts Mastercard.

Boost when you need to

Spread the cost of purchases over the months ahead and repay at a steady pace. Keep up your payments and your limit grows and your rate falls.

Not a bank. Better. Credit unions are not-for-profit lenders owned by their members. People not profit.

The details

Flexibility that rewards good habits

Day to day you're spending your own money. The revolving credit account behind the card is there for when you need to spread a cost - and it starts small and grows with you, so it's a safe way to borrow.

  • Start with a small limit - for example £250* - and grow as trust builds
  • Regular payments unlock higher limits and lower rates, automatically
  • Draw, repay and reuse your limit - no new application each time
  • Build savings alongside your borrowing
  • Built-in protections: gambling block, spend limits, instant card freeze
  • If you're struggling, switch your balance to fixed monthly repayments over longer

*Illustrative journey. Limits, rates and rewards are set by the credit union, and credit is subject to status and affordability.
