Who offers 0% transfer balance to channel island residents

SilverLiz

Hi All,
Does anybody know of a Credit Card Company which offers 0% balance transfers to Channel Island (Jersey) residents. Most of them only include UK residents including the top recommended Barclaycard offer.

Thanks in anticipation to anyone who can help.

Barclaycard, Halifax, MBNA, HSBC etc. etc. You need to be on the local electoral roll but all of the above accept CI residents.

If you are getting refused it will be for some reason other than CI resident.

Thanks for reply Bouncy Dog,
I phoned Barclays direct and was told they only offer 0% balance transfer to UK residents. However you don't always get correct info from Call Centres.
I will try the other ones you mentioned.
Thanks again for reply

Well I can tell you with certainty that they all do, because I have done one with HSBC this week! Why don't you look at the criteria for applying and then apply for the one that fits your needs best.

Alternatively have a look at what your own bank offer - HSBC have some deals for exisiting customers that you get to when you log on.

Do you live in Channel Islands yourself BouncyD!!!?
You may have noticed that my location is Suffolk but I am trying to find out for my daughter who is a Jersey resident.

Possibly! Same response applies to your daughter. She needs to do exactly what residents of Suffolk would do - make sure she is on the electoral role in Jersey, make sure she has no defaults, pay all minimum payments plus a bit to avoid minimum payment markers etc.

She may have to go through the phone application process as some of the card providers have an issue with Channel Island postcodes.
