Credit Card Applications including a Balance Transfer

It may take up to three weeks to process your application and for the payment to reach your other accounts. In this time you need to continue to make payments to your other cards to keep them up to date and avoid paying any penalty fees.

As the funds transfer process is currently taking 2 days longer than required we will be refunding 2 days interest to you for the Balance Transfer. This is to compensate you for 2 days interest that you may have been charged by your current provider(s). The interest refund is calculated at an annual interest rate of 29.9%. The refund will appear on your next statement, once the account has been approved and the transfer agreed.
