More about balance transfers

Making a balance transfer

  • You can request a balance transfer from most credit cards and some store cards which display the Mastercard®, American Express® or Visa® logos, but not from loan companies, bank accounts or other Lloyds Bank credit cards.
  •  Continue to make payments to your other cards as usual until transfers show on your statements for each account.

Important to know

To keep your new transfer rate and avoid additional fees and charges, you need to stay within your credit limit and make at least your minimum payment on time each month. Your standard interest rates (at that time) will apply to any balances left after a transfer rate ends. Refer to your latest statement for information about interest rates and fees which apply to your account.

  • You can make as many transfers as you like (minimum £100 per transfer) as long as you don’t go over your credit limit.
  • To avoid paying interest on purchases you need to pay off your monthly statement balance in full and on time every month, including the value of any transfers, unless a 0% p.a. rate for purchases applies.
  • Subject to your request being approved, the transfer(s) should reach your account by the next working day. This could take longer if we need to complete additional security checks.
  • You must make at least the minimum payment on time each month, but you can repay more at any time to reduce your balance and the amount of any interest you pay overall.
  • We use your payments to pay off the balances charged at the highest interest rate first, so more expensive balances are paid sooner.
  • New transfer rates do not affect existing terms and conditions.
  • The amount you transfer needs to be less than your available credit limit to allow for any transfer fee and any other fees, charges or transactions that haven’t reached your account yet.

Before you go ahead, ask yourself:

Does this option suit my borrowing needs, or should I consider other alternatives?

Will I be able to make repayments, even if my circumstances change?
