If you have failed to keep up with your minimum payments on your account you will be in default which can result in the following:

  • Cancellation or restriction of further use of your Account and/or card.
  • Requirement of immediate repayment of any unpaid balance on your Account. This includes interest accrued but not yet charged and all amounts required to repay any Fixed Instalment.
  • Charging you default fees and recovery of reasonable enforcement expenses and collection costs.

Cancelling your card

You can cancel your Farmers Mastercard at any time as per the cardholder terms and conditions by calling us on 0800 990 077.

The outstanding balance, including interest accrued but not yet charged, and all amounts required to repay any Fixed Instalments, will immediately become due and payable.
