Virgin Money has launched a new credit card offering 38 months interest free on both balance and money transfers. Launched today, the card will be available for a limited period only and will be withdrawn on 13 January 2016.
The new 38 month card offers:
- 38 months 0% interest on balance transfers, with a one-off transfer fee of 2.79%
- 38 months 0% interest on money transfers, with a one-off transfer fee of 4.00%
- 3 months 0% interest on purchases
All introductory rates apply to balance and money transfers made within the first 60 days of account opening.
- Five-year fixed rate at 65% LTV reduced by 0.21% to 2.54% (No product fee)
John Natalizia, Director of Credit Card Products and Operations at Virgin Money, said: "Our balance and money transfer credit cards have proven to be very popular with customers and we’re delighted to start 2016 with the launch of another card, offering both balance and money transfers interest-free for 38 months."
Virgin Money has also launched a new calculator on its website, designed to help customers choose the best card for their individual needs. In addition, a new "spray-paint" card design has also been launched, which customers can select on all new credit card applications.
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.
