    They are (allegedly) giving you the money to pay off a debt. Asking them to deposit it directly into your savings account is probably not quite what they intended.

    Tayus,

    Please see here,

    ......... here,

    and here for a related discussion...

    They may 'bounce' any requested payment, but the only way to know is to do a 'test' balance transfer [min £50] to see. The worst that can happen is an error message. You might always say it was 'a mistake' if asked... [and I doubt you would be]

    Tayus,

    The best thing is to transfer it to your current account. You will get 0%. Once the money is in your account you can transfer it to your savings account. This route takes a few days longer but is the recommended route.

    Good luck.
