Balance Transfer Credit Card for Personal Loan?

Hi,

Is it possible to take out a 0% Balance Transfer offer credit card and transfer to a personal loan, i. e. pay off the loan and take advantage of the 0% interest? This would be for about 10K.

If yes, which credit card would be recommended? Preferably for at least 12 months interest free and no annual fee or low.

  • I've been trying to do that, apparently only Virgin & Citibank offer this option through issuing a cheque to yourself. However most cards come with a hefty annual fee apart from the most basic ones where i've learnt they will offer you a $1000 limit. Still it might still be worth switching.

  • Yes it is possible.
    Citibank only allow you 80% of your total credit limit. You will still need to pay off the monthly minimum payment.

    • I am confuse, by paying ff the month repayment do we need to pay extra on the interest?

      • +1

        What interest at that stage? It's zero.

        • So it is zero interest for 12 months not 0% on balance transfer?
