Balance transfers
You can transfer a balance online from £100 up to an amount within your credit limit (or balance transfer cap if applicable) from another card provider. If you do not currently bank online with us, you can find out more and register here.
Alternatively you can call us on 08457 28 38 48 (if your card number begins 525303 please dial 08459 444 555) Mon - Sun 24 hours, give us the transfer details (amount, account number and card issuer) and we'll take care of the rest. Once approved the transfer should normally take 1 working day to reach the lender holding your other account. We will only transfer balances within your credit limit, so please check your available credit before transferring a balance.
Balance transfers can be made from most credit and some store cards, excluding other Halifax or Bank of Scotland products. We usually charge a fee for making balance transfers. The amount of the fee will be shown in your Credit Card Conditions.
