Clearing Australian Credit Card

Natty75

Hi there,

Can I clear an Australian Credit card balance on a 0% balance transfer UK card?
Thanks in advance.

I think that's going to be a question for your UK card provider.  They might disallow it if it means there's a foreign exchange fee.  The Aussie card might charge one too.

While your talking to the UK card peeps ask about a money transfer as well.  It may be easier to get that paid into your bank account and then transfer the money to Aus to pay that card.  There will still be FX fees and it's likely that the money transfer fee will be up to 1% higher than doing a straight BT.

Very unlikely that any UK credit card company will allow you to pay off any foreign credit card with a balance transfer. Money transfer to your UK bank account and then a FX payment to your Australian card looks to be only way around this.
