Hi

Can I super balance transfer from an MBNA credit card to someone else's bank account. It only gives me the option of sort code and account number.

You don't need the name as well do you?

Thanks

    You can always try but if not, super balance transfer it to your account and make a transfer to the other person.

    In general I don't think they care where the money goes.

    No they don't. Just asking if sort code and account number is sufficient information to transfer a balance because they don't ask for fullname? (or they assume it goes to the card holders account?)

    Yes it is sufficient. And if I were to initiate a payment from my online banking, for example, to an account number and sort code, but specify the wrong name, the transfer still completes OK :o
