Balance transfer fees set to be 'new credit card battleground'

https://www.fairinvestment.co.uk/
When zero per cent balance transfer credit cards first came onto the market, those providers who offered the deal found themselves very popular with borrowers. And now, with the credit crunch raging on, consumers are taking advantage of these types of offer more than ever.

But, with around 75 per cent of credit card providers offering 0% on balance transfers for a limited period, the market is becoming saturated, and providers need to offer something else to get customers to bite. And according to MoneyExpert.com, the new credit card battleground is set to be balance transfer fees.

If the fee was to be removed then stretching the 0% will get much easier!

I know some credit card provides already off this (Abbey Zero) and others will do it too keep your business (Barclaycard) but this must be a plus for us :T
