TSB is offering new customers a 0% balance transfer fee refund offer when they take out a new Platinum 28 Month Balance Transfer Credit Card.

Helping people make more of their money, TSB will refund the 0.5% balance transfer fee when a transfer is made in the first 30 days after account opening. Customers need to open their account before 31 January 2018 and make the transfer before 2 March 2018 to qualify for the offer.

Customers taking out this credit card will benefit from 0% interest on balance transfers for 28 months, 0% interest on purchases for three months, and 1% cashback on the first £500 if they have a TSB Classic Plus account.

Rewarding switchers and spenders, people can use the card in a way that best suits their needs. The offer will provide customers with additional flexibility to help them manage their finances.

Andy Piggott, Head of Credit Cards at TSB, says: “We’re committed to bringing more competition to the UK banking market and this offer is another example of that.

“With no balance transfer fee and an interest-free period of 28 months on balance transfers, this new offer is perfect for anyone looking to save money on their credit card balances.”

Classic Plus customers can earn 1% cashback

Customers can earn 1% cashback on the first £500 of eligible spend each month when they have a TSB Classic Plus current account. This offer is available until 30 June 2018.
