New Barclaycard 18-month 0% credit card deal
Barclaycard has extended the 0% balance transfer period on its Barclaycard Platinum credit card to a market-leading 18 months.
Barclaycard overtakes Nationwide at the topThe announcement by Barclaycard comes just a day after Nationwide increased its own 0% balance transfer period to 17 months , joint first with Barclaycard's previous deal.
Barclaycard Platinum also offers 0% interest on purchases for the first three months and a typical APR of 16.9% variable. Balance transfers incur a transfer fee of 2.9%, although transfers of over £3,000 made by the end of February will receive a discount of £20 on this fee.
Which? credit card expert Martyn Saville commented: 'As far as I'm aware, this is the first time any UK credit card provider has offered a 0% balance transfer deal of 18 months. If you've got debt on your current credit card, it's worth considering switching it to a 0% deal to save on interest.
'Coupled with M&S Money's new credit card and loan deals , now is an excellent time to get a great deal on your borrowings, but only if you've got an excellent credit rating .'
