Credit card FAQs
A balance transfer credit card is a credit card that lets you transfer the balance from one or more other cards. You can then keep those debts in one place and make one monthly payment for them all, so depending on your situation, it could be easier to keep track of them.
Our Tesco Bank Balance Transfer Card has a 0% interest rate for 33 months from the date of account opening, with a 3.19% transfer fee. Having a 0% interest period could help you get a head start on paying back the money you owe.
You can also use our balance transfer card to transfer money from the card to your bank account and enjoy 0% interest on it for 9 months from account opening. You can transfer up to 95% of your credit limit and there will be a 3.99% transfer fee for moving money from your card, and you can pay your balance back the same way you would a normal credit card.
After the 0% interest time period is up, you will be charged at whatever Annual Percentage Rate (APR) you were offered with the card.
Your credit limit and APR may vary subject to your individual circumstances. You can transfer up to 95% of your available credit limit. To get the 0% interest rate you’ll need to make your transfers within 90 days of opening your account.
First you need to choose and apply for the balance transfer card that best suits you. Once you have been approved, you can give the details of the other credit card balances you’d like to transfer.
Depending on your personal circumstances, a balance transfer card could make it easier for you to organise your finances by:
- Consolidating all your credit card debt so you only have to make one minimum payment a month.
- Transferring your debt onto a balance transfer card is simple and we can transfer your existing balances for you.
- You can use your balance transfer card to make purchases and you won't be charged interest if you pay off all balances that aren't on a 0% rate in full each month.
Once the 0% interest period ends, you'll be charged interest on the amount of money you still have to pay back. This Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is set out at the time you are approved for the card. To pay as little interest as possible on transferred balances, it’s best to try to pay off your debt within the 0% interest period.
