Balance transfer credit cards
This type of card could help if you have balances to repay on cards you hold elsewhere.
- Transfer existing credit card and store card balances to just one card.
- Manage your repayments easier in one place and with only one monthly repayment.
- Get an introductory rate. This could save you interest on the balances you transfer and give you longer to repay.
Transfer fees may apply.

The right credit card for you depends on what you want to use it for, and on your personal circumstances. For example, if you want to combine existing card balances, then a balance transfer credit card might be useful.
We’d suggest reading through everything on this page and on our website, so you understand exactly which credit card is right for you. We also have a handy guide on choosing the right credit card.

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.
