0% Balance Transfer Credit Card - conncected to debit card?

Options
Hi

I want to transfer a credit card (nationwide) that has a debt of £1200 to a 0% balance transfer credit card. I also have a current account with nationwide (debit acc) which I want to continue to use. Would this affect the closing of my nationwide credit card account? Apologies I am new to the world of 0% balance transfers! I'm assuming when the balance gets transferred, the old credit card is closed down.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!! :)

Thanks

    You are only transferring the debt .... so the card stays open.

    I have just transferred the balance from a NW Select card that is coming to the end of it's 0% period .... to a Santander 0% fee free 15 mth balance transfer card ......

    It just shows up as a credit payment to the card being transferred from.
