Balance transfer terms and conditions

1. You can transfer between £250 and £5,000 or 90% of your credit limit, whichever is lower. This is subject to the available credit on your account.
2. We reserve the right to refuse a credit card balance transfer or to limit the amount you can transfer. If we do allow you to transfer an amount over £5,000, the excess will be debited to your account and charged at 6.9% interest per annum until paid in full. We will not charge a handling fee on the excess.
3. A 2.5% handling fee will apply to each 0% interest balance transfer you make.
4. We can't accept transfers from cards or loans issued by companies within the Barclays Group. If you choose to close your account with other lenders, please let them know in writing.
5. You should continue to make payments to your other lenders until the balance has been confirmed.
6. Your monthly payments will reduce your promotional balances first (promotional balance transfers will be repaid before promotional purchases). This means that you will be charged interest on other balances and new spending whilst your promotional balances are being paid off. Obviously the more you pay back, the quicker your balances will be paid off.
7. If you do not make at least the minimum payment by the payment due date each month or if you exceed your credit limit at any time we will remove the promotional rate from any promotional balance and charge at your standard rate instead (typical rate 14.9% APR variable).
8. This credit card balance transfer offer is only available when you apply online using this application form. To qualify for this balance transfer offer you must transfer any balance within 60 days of opening your Barclaycard account.
