Helpful information on balance and money transfers

You should continue to make payments to your other card issuer until your balance or money transfer request is processed and they receive payment from us.

If you don’t pay off the full outstanding balance each month, any payments you make will be used first to pay off any transactions on which we charge the highest interest rate, then those charged at the next highest rate, and so on down to the lowest rate of interest.

If you’re not on a 0% purchase interest rate, any purchases you make won’t be interest-free unless you pay off your entire balance every month (your balance includes any balance and money transfers).

If you apply to transfer a balance after any promotional rate ends, we’ll charge a fee on the transfer and interest will be applied to that balance at your standard rate.

Your balance or money transfer should be completed in 10 working days.
