What is a balance transfer credit card?

A balance transfer is when you move a credit card balance from one credit card provider to another. This type of offer could help reduce your monthly credit card payments, or clear your debt quicker. If you're paying interest on other credit cards or store cards, you could save money by transferring your balance to one of our balance transfer credit cards.

A simple example to help you calculate

In this example, we'll show you how much you would need to repay if you transferred £4,400 to our Longer Balance Transfer Card.

Check the fee

First, you'll need to make a note of the fee to transfer a balance (if there is one). In this example, there is a 1.99% fee.

Calculate

Next, divide £4,400 by 100, then times by 1.99. In this example, the fee will be £87.56. So, the total amount you'll owe including the fee is £4,487.56.

Repay

Lastly, divide £4,487.56 by 23 (the offer period). This means you'll need to repay £195.11 per month to pay off the card before the 0% offer period ends.

How do balance transfers work?

What you'll need

First, we'll ask you for the long card number of the card you wish to transfer a balance from. You'll then need to decide how much you want to transfer.

Transfer a balance when you apply

The quickest and easiest way to do a balance transfer is during your application where you can transfer balances from up to 5 cards.

Transfer a balance after applying

If you'd rather wait until after you've applied to do a balance transfer, you can use the Royal Bank mobile app, or call the number on the back of your card. (Mobile app criteria apply)

There's no need to chance it

Our eligibility checker allows you to find out whether you'll be accepted before you apply with us. It takes around 2 minutes and it won't harm your credit rating.
