Do you pay interest on a BT fee of a 0% card?

Hi,

I was just wondering whether you pay interest on the balance transfer fee on a 0% balance transfer offer.

I'm currently offsetting the mortgage (at 3.79%) and one of my credit cards 0% purchase offers ends in Feb. I was going to try and apply for a 0% balance transfer card next year (hopefully one of the 15 month ones) but I was just wondering whether the balance transfer fee (around 3%) will increase with interest or will that also be on the 0% deal for the 15 months?

Thanks in advance for your advice. :D

    It depends on the card, some issuers charge interest on the fee, others don't.

    Call them up and find out what your terms are regarding the fee.
