in Credit cards
I have a Euro credit card from which I would like to do a balance transfer to a Sterling credit card (i.e. I would like to apply for a UK credit card which allows me to do a balance transfer from Euros)...is this possible?

Only if you get a UK cc that allows you to balance transfer to your current account.
You won't find any that will balance transfer directly.

Are you a UK national or have you been here for more than 3 years.
If not you won't get a credit card in this country?0 -
You would be hit with exchange rate charges and I would suggest you would be far better paying off the euro card in euros. I don't know where your card was issued? If you have trouble clearing the balance, loans are available at lower interest rate in Spain than UK."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

I am an Irish citizen and the card was issued in Ireland, now living in Northern Ireland (which deals in Sterling, thus the problem!)0
