in Credit cards
Hello,
I moved to the UK 2 years ago from the US and have no plans of moving home again. I have 2 US credit cards which both carry a balance. Every month I need to send money from the UK bank account (incurring a fee) to my US bank account (incurring another fee) to pay the cards. Paying them off immediately isn’t an option.
I wanted to know if there is a UK credit card that would accept balance transfers from US credit cards?
Thanks!

Get a money transfer card eg MBNA
Convert into USD
repay US credit card
Repay in GBP0 -
Avoid the bank fees and adverse exchange rates by using a service such as TransferWise or Azimo, or with a Revolut account.Evolution, not revolution0

OP do you have the right to stay and to work in the UK?
Even if you state yes to the above a lot of banks won't give you credit until you have been here for a minimum of 3 years.0 -
If your US cards are Mastercard, you can do it with Post Office Platinum.0
