How long does it usually take for a balance transfer to go through?

    I opened a new card just to transfer a balance. That happened on Jan 25th. It's now Feb 3rd and while my card has been activated, my account balance transfer is still showing 'in progress'. Does anyone know how long these things usually take? I don't want to have to call if it's just a matter of waiting a few more days but I also don't want this to hang suspended if it's somehow got stuck!

    @rosegrrl Hey there, thanks for getting in touch!

    If you’ve requested a balance transfer in your application, this should process within 3 working days of you activating your card.

    If the transfer still hasn't gone through, it's best to call us so we can check this for you. You can reach the Credit Card team on 0345 300 4278 (Mon - Fri: 8am to 9pm, Sat - Sun: 8am - 6pm) and they'll be happy to help.

    To speak to one of my colleagues, please choose option 2 and enter your security details, then press 0. If you don't have any details to hand, just press 0 and you will then be passed through.

    Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
