0% Balance transfer and AMEX

LesDavis · 2016-05-20 15:32:19

Hi all, I just tried to do a balance transfer from my AMEX to a Halafax card but I was informed that they can not do that with AMEX. Is there any 0% balance cards that do work with AMEX? Thanks a mill Les

There's another potential reason - as experienced personally - the Amex card 'bin' number (first few digits) may report as not being a UK issued card. UK banks will not balance transfer to non-UK cards.

My UK Everyday AMEX suffers this - other banks think it's an Australian issued card. I presume the 'bin' database is out of date. It's definitely UK issued.
