- Balance transfer fee on market-leading credit card reduced to 2.69%
- The 37 month balance transfer credit card is now available until further notice
Virgin Money has reduced the balance transfer fee on its market-leading 37 month balance transfer credit card to 2.69%.
The news comes as Virgin Money also announces that the card is now available until further notice, having removed the previous ‘limited offer’ period that was due to end on 2 November 2015.
The 37 month credit card offers:
- 37 months 0% interest on balance transfers, with a one-off transfer fee of 2.69%
- 37 months 0% interest on money transfers, with a one-off transfer fee of 4.00%
- 3 months 0% interest on purchases
The introductory rates apply to balance and money transfers made within the first 60 days of account opening.
John Natalizia, Director of Credit Card Products and Operations at Virgin Money, said "This is doubly-good news for customers. We have reduced the balance transfer fee on our 37 month card and decided to lift its previous limited offer status, making it available until further notice. More customers can now take the opportunity to pick up a market-leading zero per cent interest period, for both balance and money transfers. Not forgetting that there is also zero per cent interest on purchases for the first three months."
Unlike most credit card providers in the UK, Virgin Money ensures that all successful applicants receive the promotional rate and duration they apply for. Virgin Money does not offer shorter balance transfer periods or higher interest rates to customers after reviewing their application.
All Virgin Money credit card customers have access to Virgin Money Lounges together with a range of exclusive offers from the Virgin Group, including discounts on a range of Virgin products such as holidays, train tickets and health club membership.
Customers can also have their Virgin Money credit cards in a variety of colourful designs, including the iconic Sex Pistols artwork.
