ASOS AND CAPITAL ONE UK ANNOUNCE NEW CREDIT CARD PARTNERSHIP

ASOS and Capital One UK to offer new and exclusive credit card to customers

LONDON, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ASOS, the global online fashion destination, and Capital One UK have today (Tuesday 28th February) announced a new and exclusive credit card partnership.

The partnership will result in the launch of a new ASOS credit card for eligible shoppers, available later this year. It will provide a range of features and benefits that only come with using a credit card, when they shop at ASOS and elsewhere, such as Section 75 protection on purchases over £100.

Capital One UK is a top credit card provider, with more than 20 years of lending experience, as well as industry-leading underwriting, technology, and digital capability.

John Birkbeck, Senior Director of Marketing and Partnerships at Capital One UK, said: “Capital One UK is excited to have agreed this partnership with ASOS to offer customers the opportunity to benefit from the convenience of using a credit card, while empowering them to be in control and to use credit responsibly.

Capital One UK’s approach to credit is to give 100% certainty to customers before they apply on the key details that matter: whether they will be accepted or not and to guarantee up front the APR they will be offered is the APR they will get. This is in addition to the protections a credit card can provide in making purchases, and that responsible credit card use may positively contribute to building their credit rating.”

Elle Kim, Director of Group Payments at ASOS, said: “We are pleased to partner with Capital One UK to offer eligible customers a new way of shopping with us. We look forward to sharing more details about our exciting partnership and this new product in the coming months.”

The new ASOS card will be launching for customers later this year, and more information on the partnership will be shared as it becomes available.
