    Hi Robodan,

    Yes - I had this recently, I transferred a balance at 3.9% and was charged a 2% fee (£40)
    The £40 was added to the balance but will be charged at the usual APR (15.9%) and as usual payments get allocated to the transferred balance before the charge, so you end up paying the 15.9% interest on the charge right until you clear the balance. It's only a few pence per month, but very annoying!

    HtH,
    Alex
