Balance Transfer Offers

The UK credit card market has a very wide range of balance transfer offers available now. Currently there are over 85 credit cards available online that have 0% balance transfer deals and offers. The number of available deals is down from the more than 110 cards available at the start of 2017.

The range of 0% balance transfer offers available in the competitive UK credit card market is constantly changing as the credit card companies compete for customers.

There are balance transfer offers available on cards with 0% on balance transfers for 1 month all the way up to credit cards with 0% on balance transfers for up to 32 months.

The length of the balance transfer introductory offers are not the only factor in choosing the right balance transfer credit card of course.

Balance transfer fees also vary between each different credit card. In general, cards with shorter balance transfer deals have lower balance transfer fees. Credit cards with the longest 0% introductory offers do tend to have higher balance transfer fees.
