Balance transfer credit card FAQs
A balance transfer is when you move the debt from one or more existing credit cards to a single credit. The benefits of making a balance transfer are that typically you will be charged less interest, or will make lower monthly repayments.
To carry out a balance transfer, you simply move the outstanding balance from one credit card onto another. The balance is then owed on the new card, typically at a lower interest rate or with an interest free period.
A balance transfer does not close the old account. The old credit card can still be used; however, this could result in further interest being charged.
