Hello, i am trying to pay a company £1800 for the green home grant, but they only take bank transfer. I tried transferring from a 0% balance credit card but i now know you cant send money to a debit card!

I'm stumped- how do i pay the £1800 on my debit card but get it to my 0% credit card so i can pay it off monthly, i'm hoping there is a simple way which makes me look silly ha.

Thanks in advance
Paul

You will need a money transfer offer.

I think you would need a money transfer card.

Yes. Get a money transfer card.

Or take out cash on another credit card and then immediately BT it. Bear in mind the fees/interest on both options.

I would recommend getting out a MBNA credit card as they have money transfer card up 0% interest for 20 months I think
