    More detail please.

    Do you want to purchase something and pay back at 0% over a period of time? Or do you want to transfer an existing balance from another card? Or perhaps clear an overdraft or loan?

    Marks and Spencer &More card and GE Money Transformation card both offer 0% on purchases for 12 months. Or you could get an MBNA card and bo a BT into your current account and use the money that way while paying off the BT at 0%. Thats for 12 months also but will incur a transfer fee.

    You have to factor in other things like whether you will get the limit you need. If its a particulary expensive item then a loan may be the best bet

    I just looked on the MBNA website, they dont mention a 0% loan anywhere or am i looking in the wrong place?

    It would be the 0% BT option on MBNA. They will allow you to transfer 95% of your available credit limit into a current account. Effectively an interest free loan.
