Barclaycard has become the first credit card provider in the UK to offer 18 months at 0% on balance transfers. The offer for new Barclaycard Platinum customers is the longest on the market. Barclaycard Platinum also offers 0% interest on purchases for the first three months and a typical APR of 16.9% variable.
For a limited period only, new Barclaycard Platinum customers applying through Barclaycard’s website and partner sites1 can also enjoy £20 off the handling fee of 2.9% for transfers over £3,000. The handling fee offer is available only until 28th February. The £20 discount means that customers who transfer a balance of £3,000 to their new Barclaycard Platinum sees the effective handling fee cut from 2.9% to just 2.23%2.
As well as helping customers cut the cost of borrowing, Barclaycard offers its customers the easiest-to-use reward scheme in the UK.
