BALANCE TRANSFER CARDS

Take advantage of interest free credit from 12 to 16 months. If you’re currently paying interest on an outstanding card balance then it may be time to consider transferring this to a new card. By moving your balance to a 0% card will allow you to pay down your borrowings much quicker, eliminating the amount of interest you pay.

To take advantage of this type of card you will need to settle the balance in full before the 0% balance transfer period ends, making sure you pay at least the minimum payment each month (or more if you can) and remember not to make any new purchases on the card. Check out your free credit score to see what balance transfer cards are available to you.

If you know your credit rating, select it by hovering your mouse over the panel to the right and clicking on the appropriate rating. If you don’t know your credit rating, click the button to calculate it for free. This will match up your rating with lender appetite to give you the best chance of success with your application.
