Hi this may seem a very stupid question but I've not used credit cards much before. Just wondered if you do an account transfer to pay off your statement balance from a current account will there be fees? To clarify I have a Halifax card and you can pay by transferring to Bank Sort Code 77-29-00
Bank Account no. 00000000
Will this be treated just like paying a private individual by my other bank?

    What fees? Bank transfers (FP) are free. And there are no reasons for the CC to charge you either.

    No different to paying a private individual or transferring money to another account of yours, just goes straight through.

    Just to add to what others have said. After using the info above don't forget to insert your actual credit card number as the FP 'reference number' when making your payment as the details above will be generic and apply to all customers that hold your type of card.

    I have a Halifax Clarity card, and whilst the payment details differ to those you have quoted above, due to it being a different type of card, I still need to include the full card number as the reference.
