Balance tfr to pay off personnel loan

Hi
Do all credit card companies allow you to pay off personnel loans with a new card and balance transfer ?

Who are the best regarding this ?

Thanks 👍🏼

    I suppose you can simply get a money transfer and pay the loan off ?….

    You'll need a money transfer for a loan.

    Thanks..
    When applying for a balance transfer card do you also automatically get a money transfer rate aswell ?…

    No. You'll need to find a card that offers it.
  • Ok thanks just that in the past I’ve always been given both after applying to balance transfer…

    Anyone know companies that will give both ?

    thanks

    Any card I've had normally had both on offer at the same time but the money transfer was always a bit more expensive.  So a balance transfer might be 3% but a MT will be 3.5% or 4%.

  • I get BT and MT offers on my Barclaycard (got both at the moment)
    My NatWest one just has a BT on it and has BT offers
    My Halifax one has both as does my Lloyds
    My Sainsbury's one doesn't currently have offers but it has done BT before, don't recall MT
