Balance Transfer Card

Hello,

Can I make a balance transfer to a debit card?

Cheers

  • No. But you can money transfer to a current account.
  • Most credit card companies will let you use your debit card to pay off your credit card bill, but you are not able to use a balance transfer to move debt to a debit card. What you are describing is essentially a money transfer, which usually requires a specialist type of card to avoid massive fees.
  • Thanks. Sorry if this is a stupid question but if there is a fee for the money transfer how does this work?
    As in is it added to my credit card amount and I just pay that off with the rest of my transfer?
  • Yes. Typical fee is 4%.
