I've been approved for a 0% interest BTCC with a 0.99% fee however I've never had to pay a fee in the past as I've always being able to get a 0% fee card (rare beasties nowadays!) so am unsure how the fee itself is charged.
I know the maximum balance transfer amount is 95% of the card's credit limit and I'm assuming the 95% excludes the 0.99% fee which is added separately - is this correct?
If the fee is separate how and when is it paid? Is it added to the card balance (in addition to the amount transferred) and also charged a 0% for the term of the card, or does it have to be paid off in full to ensure it doesn't incur interest?
Hoping someone can clarify for me, thanks in advance.

We do not vouch for the accuracy or authenticity of posts or communications and do not take responsibility for any opinions you or other users choose to provide.
The posts and other communications do not represent financial advice from Tesco Bank and must not be treated as such, even if they are directed to you.

Before relying on any other user's posts or communications, you should make your own enquiries and ensure that any action you take as a result is right for you.

Therefore, it is each user's responsibility to report objectionable content by utilising the 'Report Inappropriate Content' functionality available throughout Your Community.
Monitoring and moderation
Your Community has moderators who aim to ensure that these Terms of Service and our House Rules are followed. Moderators do not pre-screen postings or communications. Moderators have the right to edit or remove content at their discretion and for any purpose. Moderators are under no obligation to provide a reason for removing any content or to enter into discussion regarding the removal.
Moderators may or may not investigate any complaint that is brought to their attention, and may or may not take appropriate action, including, but not limited to issuing warnings, moving or removing content, or suspending or terminating any user name and user account. Because situations and interpretations vary, it is possible that we may take no action whatsoever. The failure to act with respect to a violation by you or others does not waive the ability to act differently with respect to subsequent or similar violations.
Warnings, suspensions, and terminations
Moderators may communicate with you personally concerning Your Community or related matters. Those communications are confidential between you and us and are not intended to be made public. As such you agree not to post or otherwise disseminate those communications within Your Community or elsewhere, on the Internet or otherwise.

request by law enforcement or other government agencies;
a request by you;
unexpected technical issue or problem; and
extended periods of inactivity.
Termination of your registration includes removal of access to all offerings within Your Community and may also prevent you from engaging in further use of Your Community. Furthermore, you agree that neither us nor the moderators shall be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your registration or access to Your Community.
