Balance Transfer Deals For Existing Customers

What kind of balance transfer deals for existing customers are available in the UK in 2018?

Currently there are two different types of 0% balance transfer deals for existing customers.

The first type of balance transfer deals for existing customers are offered by all of the main banks and former building societies, which issue 0% balance transfer credit cards in the UK.

In this case, the 0% balance transfer deal is available, both to new and to existing customers of the bank provided they currently do not have a credit card with the bank.

Balance Transfer Deals For Existing Customers

Very often the banks will look more favourably on their own existing customers, when it comes to accepting customers for their own brand credit cards.

You are often more likely to be accepted for a credit card, when you are already an existing customer with the bank. This is because the bank is more likely to already have an understanding of your overall financial situation.

All of the following featured 0% cards are available as balance transfer deals for existing customers of the individual banks :-

Balance Transfer Deals For Existing Customers

The other type of balance transfer deals for existing customers, are where the credit card companies may on occasion make a balance transfer offer, to a credit card customer who already has a credit card with the company.

Existing customers, may on occasion be offered a balance transfer deal to encourage them to move debt from another credit card to their existing credit card. These existing customers will usually have very good payment histories with the card company,

Often the balance transfer deals for existing customers made in this way are not as good an offer as the best balance transfer credit cards currently available.

The balance transfer deals for existing customers are often for a much shorter time period. Alternatively, they may have a higher fee, than the bank or credit card company has available to new customers.

This type of balance transfer deal for existing customers can save the credit card customer applying for a new credit card. However, there is no guarantee that the deal will be offered to all existing credit card customers.

There is also no guarantee that the balance transfer deal will be offered within the right time-scale. You may not receive an offer when actually looking to make a balance transfer.

Generally only a small proportion of a company’s current credit card customers will be offered any additional balance transfer deals for existing customers.

The UK banks and credit card companies do very often tend to treat 0% balance transfers offers as a way to attract new customers.
