Can’t balance transfer - MBNA

emma_moneysaving

Hi

I’m trying to do a balance transfer from my MBNA credit card to a Tesco Bank credit card. It accepted me up until the balance transfer section and said it can’t accept balance transfers from this type of card.

When I’ve looked into this further it seems that MBNA supply Tesco Credit cards and quite a lot of other ones too. 

Does anyone know who MBNA does NOT supply credit cards for that I could do a balance transfer to? 

TIA 😊

MBNA don’t supply Tesco Credit cards at all, All Tesco Credit cards are issued under Tesco Personal Finance plc which has its own banking license. 

So not sure why you think MBNA have anything to do with Tesco Bank or where you’ve looked into this further!! 

Have you called Tesco bank to see if they can do a balance transfer via phone?

Thanks for this, when I looked into why it might have been rejected and I found that apparently lots of CCs are linked to MBNA so I assumed (wrongly) that Tesco must be which is why I thought it wouldn’t let me transfer. 

Do you know if Santander are linked? 

Haven’t called Tesco but will try in the morning if all else fails.
