Money transfer credit cards
A money transfer is where you move funds from your credit card to your bank account to give you a bit more flexibility. This could come in handy for sorting any unexpected bills, or where credit cards aren’t accepted.
Money can only be transferred to a UK current account in your name from your credit card. Once it’s there, you can use your debit card or cash in the usual way.

A credit card can help you manage your finances, but it needs to be the right choice for your needs. Other borrowing options might be more suitable depending on what you need it for.
For example, if you’re looking to build an extension on your home, a credit card might not be the right way to fund it. A loan might be more suitable as you can spread the repayments over an affordable term. However, if you need more flexibility with your monthly repayments, a credit card could be a better option.
